Why Study in Brighton?
The Brighton program allows you to enroll in a wide range of University of Brighton courses in a variety of disciplines. You may study for one semester or a full year. Brighton’s colorful character, history, architecture and cosmopolitan culture all combine to make it an exciting and vibrant place to live and study. Despite being small enough for you to bump into friends in the center, Brighton is surprisingly sophisticated and often dubbed “London-by-the-Sea.” With the sea on one side and the South Downs on the other, the city has an open air feel.
There are several excellent reasons for deciding to study in the U.K. Courses at British universities are taught by professors who do almost all the teaching and tutorial work with undergraduates while maintaining a high level of research activity. Although the U.K. shares a common language with the United States, it remains a foreign country, with diverse traditions, values and views of the world. Time in the United Kingdom will challenge you personally, open your eyes to different ways of looking at the current problems of the world and enable you to directly experience the wonderful culture and history of the European continent.
The Brighton program is administered in the U.S. by the USAC Central Office and in Brighton, England by two Program Coordinators who are responsible for the overall operations of the program abroad: securing appropriate student housing, organizing exciting field trips and overseeing your general well-being. Mary Jones and Zoë Lamb, both England natives, are the Program Coordinators for the Brighton program. They will arrange your housing, assist you with registration and provide an on-site orientation.
