I value all o my experiences at the university,
rom my study in the UK to the dynamic
classroom discussions and practical nature

Living in Brighton is so amazing. Pubs, clubs,

the pier and the beach in the summer:
everything is within walking distance.
Brighton is so lively – it really is a 24/7 city!

I am in the fnal year o my course, studying
or a Sotware Engineering BSc(Hons).
Beore I came to Brighton, I was very
nervous and worried about going to a new
place. My worries didn’t last long as I took
part in the International Student Orientation
Programme organised by Student Services,
which helped me settle in quickly. I like living
and studying in Brighton because Brighton
is a cosmopolitan place. It is very easy or
everyone to eel at home here because it is
a highly multicultural community. There are a
lot o exotic restaurants and shops in town
too. I particularly like the act that Brighton is
coastal because Zimbabwe is landlocked.
There is a lot o support available or the
non-academic aspects o university lie.
Student Services provide career guidance,
counselling services, accommodation
services and volunteering schemes. Through
Active Student, the university’s volunteering
scheme, I have volunteered or the local
YMCA and youth club. My time in Brightonhas been remarkable and I have had
the opportunity or not just an academic
experience, but to grow and to make many
good riends rom dierent parts o the world.

Sotware Engineering BSc(Hons)
The University o Brighton is amous or its
research with Ricardo Engineering. It was
this association that made me think o
studying the MSc course at this university.
Postgraduate study is really about
understanding things rather than merely
learning them. The proessors here are
working on uture technologies so are
equipped with a thorough knowledge o
a particular subject. To experience the
painstaking eorts behind the birth o
uture technology is really an enjoyable and
satisactory thing.
At the end o the course I will be applying
to engineering frms to get some work
experience in the leading nation in
automobiles.
I am living in private accommodation. It is
really un living here with other students. I a
enjoying the experience and eel as i I am

Brighton is one o the most enchanting,
welcoming, extraordinary cities in Britain,
and some people call it ‘little London by the
sea’. Friendly people, lots o music clubs and
a relaxed atmosphere make it a wonderul
place to live and study.
Being an international student, I was given
a lot o help to settle in. This as well as the
location and the quality o the course made
me choose to study at Brighton.
The quality and style o education provided
by the university was world class and I
have learnt more in one year during my
course than I learnt in the three years doing
my bachelors in computer science. The
education and skills I learnt helped me fnd a
job in international management at a senior
level and lie has been great since then.
Studying at the University o Brighton helped
me to gain social, cultural and academic skills
which I am using on a daily basis.
