- There is an active student association with plenty of clubs to join as per interest.
Dislikes
- However, you don't get a lot of companies in career fairs and are unlikely to succeed in campus placements as they prioritize EU and UK regardless of what they say about accepting international students.
Course Curriculum
- The core models focus on data management, systems modeling and web development and the electives are quite interesting- there's project management, intellectual property law, marketing, interaction design.
- We weren't exposed to any particular industry but you have the option to work with doctoral candidates and assist them with a direction of research.
Fees
- It was 14130 pound sterling
Likes
- I loved the course structure and the professors who were teaching the course. I also loved the fact that Brighton is such a creative and cultural city with a very positive environment.
- My course, professors, and the city. The people I met and the experiences I gained in terms of volunteering opportunities that really added to my CV.
Dislikes
- How short the course goes by. Also, the placement team can do a much better job when it comes to providing help for courses apart from business and engineering.

My course was very updated and relevant to the current trends and ideas and the arts and museum field. We were given a lot of industrial exposure, including trips to exhibitions, talks with professionals in the industry, CV and resume building.
