University of Brighton scholarships and bursaries

We are committed to providing you with clear information and advice about tuition fees, funding, University of Brighton scholarships and bursaries as soon as we are in a position to do so. We anticipate that this information will be available in late spring 2011.

Register for updatesCheck our website, www.brighton.ac.uk/money regularly. You can also sign up to receive email updates from us about this issue and receive more information from us as it becomes available.

Tuition fees and funding for students starting courses in 2012

The UK government recently introduced major changes to the system of university tuition fees and student support funding.

If you are planning on starting a university course in 2012 you will be affected by these changes.

At time of going to press in January 2011 the UK parliament had just voted in favour of proposals to increase university tuition fees. Changes have also been approved to the student loan and maintenance grant system. We are now carefully considering what these changes will mean for us and for our students.

Tuition fees are not paid upfront

The government is not proposing that UK students will have to pay tuition fees before or during their studies. Tuition fees will be paid back once students begin working and their income reaches a certain level.

Currently UK graduates begin paying back student loans once they are earning more than £15,000 a year. For students starting courses in 2012 the government is proposing raising this threshold to £21,000. All outstanding payments will be written off after 30 years.

p Members of the academic and support teams are on hand at welcome events to answer you and your family’s questions.

A professional accreditation – and a degree

Many students at Brighton are on courses accredited by professional and statutory bodies, for example, nurses, midwives, pharmacists, social workers, engineers and accountants. A professional accreditation combined with a degree will give you a head start in the job market. Individual course pages (pages 4–216) give more information.

Placements and work experience opportunities

Most of our courses involve work-based learning – this can be through workshops, short work placements or up to a year in the workplace (usually your third year), where you can apply the skills learned at university in real situations, gain valuable experience that looks great on your CV and make important contacts. Each faculty has placement officers who will help you find the right placement for you and support you throughout your time in the workplace.

Courses designed for employment

We collaborate with employers from the earliest stages of course design and experts from industry and the professions contribute to teaching. This ensures that the content and structure of your course is professionally focused and relevant, and means you will enter the world of work with the range of skills required for success in your chosen field.

For example, students on construction and engineering courses benefit from our Excellence with Industry programme. Students complete a rotation of at least three industrial placements with some of the UK’s most prestigious water and construction companies. The combination of academic study, industrial placements and validated workplace learning offered by the programme gives our graduates a competitive edge.

Going to university represents a major investment in your future. We won’t just deliver your course – we also offer a special combination of support and opportunities which will help you to plan and prepare for your career, and boost your employability.

Over the period of the scheme student and mentor work together to develop the student’s skills in networking, presenting skills or other areas identified by the student as key to future career success.

Brighton has been named one of five UK supercities to watch for the future in The Future of Business Report. The university is part of this dynamism. The report from HSBC Commercial Banking and the Future Laboratory predicted a dramatic shift in the UK’s business map as the twenty-first century unfolds.

There are more than 50 student-run societies and the number is constantly growing. Societies can be cultural, political, religious, course-related – virtually any society that you can think of can exist, subject to ratification by Brighton SU’s Societies’ Federation. Ratified societies have use of office facilities, free advice from Brighton SU and can bid to receive financial support.

Brighton SU funds all the sports clubs active within the university and works with the university to provide a range of sports facilities through Sport Brighton. For more information see page 236.

Student representation

Brighton SU is a member of the National Union of Students which represents over five million students in the UK and campaigns on their behalf.

Twice a year elections are held for posts on Brighton SU Council. These elected officers are the formal link between students and the university itself and contribute to the policies of the union. Each officer is responsible for an area of the student experience: democracy, wellbeing, academic, campus and community, and activities and events. A board of trustees ensures that the union is run for the benefit of its members and includes the officers, other students and external trustees.

A course rep system provides a structure for all students to give constructive feedback on their experience of the learning, teaching and resources at the university. This feedback is used to inform university and union developments to ensure students’ needs and expectations are met.

The University of Brighton Students’ Union (Brighton SU) is run by elected officers and provides a range of services, from organising events to making sure students’ views are represented at the university.

240 www.brighton.ac.uk | types of course

The range of undergraduate course options at the University of Brighton includes honours degrees, foundation degrees, professional qualifications and top-up degrees.

Honours degreesThese courses involve three or four years of full-time study and lead to qualifications such as BA(Hons), BSc(Hons), BEng(Hons) and LLB(Hons).

Many of our honours degree courses involve work-based learning – through workshops, short placements or up to a year in the workplace (usually your third year) where you apply the skills learned at university in real situations, gain valuable experience that looks great on your CV and make important contacts in industry.

More than half our students also achieve a professional registration or exemption from professional exams when they graduate.

Integrated masters degrees Some degree courses include an additional year of masters-level study. These courses are available in the subject areas of engineering (MEng), pharmacy (MPharm), arts and design (MDes and MFA) and computing (MComp).

Foundation degreesFoundation degrees are vocational qualifications that can be studied full- or part-time. Most foundation degrees involve two years of full-time study.

They are designed with help from employers, and you will be equipped with the skills needed to flourish in a range of exciting careers. Foundation degree graduates can continue studying and top up to an honours degree.

Types of course

Foundation degrees are available across the subject range and are delivered at the university and at our partner colleges across Sussex (see opposite page for information about partner colleges and pages 163–216 for courses).

For more information about foundation degrees and studying at a partner college, visit www.brighton.ac.uk/partnercolleges.

Foundation diplomaIf you would like to study while working, you can consider one of our two-year, part-time foundation diplomas (see page 215). The diploma is made up of a selection of foundation degree-level modules and students on the foundation degree and diploma are taught together.

Top-up degreesIf you have an HND, foundation degree or professional qualification you can often top this up to an honours degree. Top-up degrees typically involve a year of full-time study but there are some that have been specially developed to be studied part-time whilst you are working.

Professional qualificationsMany of our courses incorporate a professional accreditation. This may mean that graduates are licensed to practice, for example, as a nurse; are eligible to apply for membership of a professional body; or are exempt from professional exams.

Engineering foundation yearThis is one of the longest-running and most successful courses of its type in the country. It is a one-year programme for students with non-scientific A-levels and mature students with relevant experience but few formal qualifications.

Successfully completing the course gives you access to engineering degree courses.

Studying at a partner college

Hannah SimpsonHospitality and Event Management foundation degreeCity College Brighton and Hove

The reasons I did my foundation degree were for a career change from admin work and to work towards setting up my own business.

I was also attracted to the idea of doing a two-year course. Studying for the degree at City College was very convenient for me as I already lived in Brighton. We attended lectures and seminars two or three days a week, which allowed me to work part-time at the same time as studying. Doing a foundation degree gives you the option of either finishing your studies in two years, like me, or continuing on to a third year and completing a BA honours degree.

During the course I completed my work experience in a cafe. I continued working there part-time while finishing my course and I’ve now taken over the lease and am running it as my own profitable business. The advice and guidance of my experienced lecturers definitely helped me achieve this.

In addition to our campuses in Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings, the University of Brighton also offers courses at other colleges across Sussex.

You will be based at the partner college but enrol with and receive your qualifications from the University of Brighton.

Providing courses at a range of sites allows as many people as possible to benefit from a university education and to study subjects on sites suited to the nature of the course. Students based at partner colleges are entitled to a range of University of Brighton benefits including access to university facilities and student support services.

English language support

English language support is available to all international students in their first year of study. The English Language Support Programme offers a series of term-time lectures, classes and tutorials. It is designed to consolidate and develop your existing language skills to help you complete your day-to-day academic tasks.www.brighton.ac.uk/learnenglish

The University of Brighton is a thriving academic community of over 23,000 students, including almost 3,000 students from more than 100 countries outside the UK. This rich mix of nationalities and cultural backgrounds gives the university a truly international and cosmopolitan feel.

Welcoming coastal locations

The university has campuses in Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings. Each location has a distinct character but wherever you’re based, you’ll be studying by the sea.

Our climate in the south east corner of England tends to be warmer than other parts of the UK and we are very close to London, with a trip by train from Brighton taking less than an hour. Gatwick International Airport is only 30 minutes away, linking you to mainland Europe and the rest of the world.

The Eastbourne campus is less than 35 minutes along the coast from Brighton by train. The historic town of Hastings hosts our fifth campus. Hastings is 30 minutes from Eastbourne and is just over an hour from the Channel Tunnel which provides a link with mainland Europe.

There are location maps on pages 248–249 and photographs on pages 220–223.

International students

It enables admissions tutors to make offers which take into account the breadth of qualifications. See the table on the next page for a summary of the tariff.

BTEC

The university welcomes applicants offering a National Certificate or Diploma in a relevant subject area.

Qualifications not on the UCAS tariffAdmissions tutors accept many other qualifications which give access to higher education. Applicants offering work-based qualifications, such as NVQs, should be able to provide evidence of relevant background knowledge and ability to study at university level. Whilst individual course requirements vary, all qualifications – UK and international – are considered.

Access courses

The university normally welcomes applicants with access courses approved by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) in an appropriate subject.

14–19 Diploma

The University of Brighton welcomes the development of the Advanced and Progression Diplomas and will consider applicants with the new qualifications for entry onto bachelor and foundation degree programmes in related subject areas.

Credits

Relevant professional, commercial or Open University credits may be acknowledged as equivalent to sections of a course which then do not need to be repeated. Applicants must be able to provide evidence of some A-level equivalent study – and may still be advised to undertake a preparatory course.

The University of Brighton is committed to enabling as many people as possible to take advantage of higher education. We operate a flexible admissions policy where your application will be considered on merit.

We welcome applications from students with qualifications and experience beyond the traditional A-level route. Relevant experience may also be regarded as equivalent to formal qualifications.

General minimum entry requirements

For undergraduate degree coursesTwo A-levels or National Certificate plus at least three GCSE subjects (must include mathematics and English) minimum grade C or a pass in a QAA-approved access course.

For foundation degree and certificate coursesOne A-level plus at least three GCSE subjects (must include mathematics and English) minimum grade C or a pass in a QAA-approved access course.

Offers will normally exceed these minimum requirements. Conditional offers may be expressed in terms of grades, UCAS tariff points or a combination of UCAS tariff points and grades, to be obtained.

The UCAS tariff

UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) is the central organisation that processes applications for full-time undergraduate courses.

The UCAS tariff is a points system that translates students’ achievements across different types of qualifications into one numerical format, so that different types and volumes of achievement can be compared.

Entry requirements

entry requirements | www.brighton.ac.uk 243

244 www.brighton.ac.uk | entry requirements

Initial teacher education courses are regularly reviewed and often revised in response to new government requirements. For the two-year degree courses (course codes X1W2, X1G5, XG11, XF13, XF33), A-level-equivalent qualifications are not sufficient. You need either an HND equivalent qualification or at least 120 credits in a relevant area of HE-level study.

Education placements

The university is not liable for failure of placement providers, or of placement providers to provide a suitable placement. In such circumstances, alternative arrangements will be made by the university. The university will seek placements with partners in the south-east region of England. It is the responsibility and obligation of the student to arrange travel to and from the placement.

Entry requirements for healthcare professions, nursing, midwifery and medicine courses

To study at the medical school, or for nursing, midwifery and other healthcare professions, you must also complete a medical questionnaire, undergo a vaccination programme and provide a satisfactory Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Enhanced Disclosure document.

Entry requirements for initial teacher education courses

You must also be able to read effectively and communicate clearly in spoken and written standard English.

English language proficiency

Our courses are delivered and assessed in English, and to succeed in your studies you must have a good command of English, and the ability to apply it in an academic environment.

There are two ways that you can meet our English language proficiency requirement: • we are satisfied that your previous

academic record clearly demonstrates your ability to study and be examined in the English language, or

• you provide us with certificated proof of your competence in English by having recently passed an English language qualification.

The table above shows the English language qualifications we accept.

You should check individual course descriptions to confirm the required grade you need to have for your chosen course.

If your qualifications and experience do not meet our entry requirements for English language proficiency, your offer of a place will be conditional on you achieving our required standard of English language proficiency before you start your studies here. In these circumstances we will recommend you complete an English language course.

The university offers a range of appropriate preparatory English language courses.
