BSc (Hons) in Business and Management Studies - Batch of 2025

4.3

On campus part time work is available but only a few get it.

Tips: University life helps you learn in a lot of ways, especially helps us learn the value of money. When I first came to the UK I was covering everything I spent back to AED but then I realised it might seem expensive but in the UK it's the average cost a student pays. Scholarships are available at the university but I didn't apply for them. I am really satisfied with my University as I didn't face any trouble during my time there and everything went perfectly.

Likes (Part time work): On campus part time work is available but only a few get it. But if you check off campus there are a lot of opportunities for students. I was able to manage my academics and part time job easily as I had no lectures on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which gave me the option to work. The average pay currently in the UK is 12 pounds per hour.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian restaurants cost a lot in the UK. In the same way, there are very less options for Indian food available in Brighton. A proper Indian meal would cost you about 20 pounds minimum. I would prefer cooking myslef but never got the time as I was busy with sports in university.

MSc International Finance and Economics - Batch of 2025

The university is very welcoming and full of opportunities.

Tips: The university is very welcoming and full of opportunities. One has to be open to accepting and utilising these opportunities. A cultural shift is a change in how academics are taught. The teaching is very research oriented which is uncommon in the Indian education system. I received a scholarship from the business school and for being a student from India. I am very satisfied with my university and my course.

BEng(Hons) in Automotive Engineering - Batch of 2026

4.5

Student life is fun and vibrant.

Tips: Be social join clubs and societies. Go up to your professors and interact with them. Enjoy the experience of living in a new country. Don't be shy don't miss out on opportunities. Get ready for the weather. The connections you make now will last for a long time. Good experiences so far.

Likes (Indian Food): Amazing variety of Indian food is available in Brighton. I have tried almost every restaurant serving indian food. I would say None of them are bad but you can find a good restaurant that you'd like and is affordable as well if you look for them properly.

Dislikes (Internships): There are opportunities but you have to put a lot of effort by yourself. Present yourself in a nice manner be confident and don't get discouraged by rejections. Just keep applying for more internships and you will find the one that suits you the best.

It is the university of opportunities.

Tips: When I came to the UK, I was homesick, but after a few days it went away. There are a lot of societies in the University of Sussex to join, and you feel like coming home to a culture you get used to as you go by. I got a 3000 pounds scholarship for my good performance in academics in bachelor's.

Likes (Safety): First of all, the University of Sussex is in a safe location in Brighton. It is such a vibrant location, and there are a lot of security personnel on call if you need any help. I have not faced any issues till now. Everything is a good experience in Brighton, lots of part time jobs and safety, no negative.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Since the UK has made tough rules, it has been very difficult to get a sponsored job. I recommend getting experience in India and then coming. In my course, supply chain and logistics management, there are various roles from procurement to logistics to supply chain and the basic salary starts from 25000 pounds to 35000 pounds a year.

BSc (Hons) in International Business (with a professional placement year) - Batch of 2026

The city is very expensive and the weather is unpredictable.

Tips: It was very smooth as people here were really welcoming and you can join so many societies to socialise. I did not but there are multiple available to students. Love the course and the country as a whole. However the sky high cost of living and the unreliable weather.

Likes (Public transportation): The campus features convenient bus stops throughout with free inter-campus travel available for students. Additionally it is seamlessly connected to a train station just outside and student passes help reduce travel cost significantly.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I'd say it's fairly high as I've secured a placement which adds some valuable experience and gives me an edge. Personally I don't wish to settle in the UK long-term it's not something I aspire to or see aligning with my future goals.

MSc in Data Science (with an industrial placement year) - Batch of 2023

Not worth the money. The faculty doesn't teach much.

Tips: I got a scholarship of around 3000. The job market is tough and if you have experience, that would be a plus point. In my situation, I don't have experience, so I have a lot of struggles. It is not worth it to spend 18 lakhs and the faculty doesn't teach much. They just get the PowerPoint presentation and display it and they read the presentation from the screen. But there are many resources on campus where I spend a lot of time reading. I am not satisfied with this university.

Likes (Student Life): Student life is very good because there are two major universities in Brighton and Inor university where there are many facilities like a library, canteen and so on, where we can spend lots of time and people come from different cultures and regions. We get to know about lots of different cultures, which is a great experience.
