The university is pretty welcoming and helpful to international students. The placement year offered in the university for the 3rd year is something that I really like about my course. So far, there’s no any such thing that I don’t like about my university.

I selected UOB for numerous reasons. Firstly, I loved Brighton and its accepting, open feel, but in terms of the university, and course, it offered amazing study abroad opportunities. Year 1 was a great introduction to the basics of business; I loved being thrown into learning- so much so, that I became an International Business ambassador for prospective students. As I progressed through the 4-year course, the options available to me became more specific, therefore allowing me to tailor my learning experience to my career interests and goals. In my third year, I got accepted into the only Australian study abroad space, sending me off to Adelaide, SA, to continue learning. This hugely pushed me out of my comfort zone, whilst teaching me different learning practices and broadening my horizons. Sadly, during my last year of studying, COVID-19 hit, and this impacted my view of my final year. Obviously, this was no fault of the university, and the support we were given was still substantial, with zoom calls to teachers and constant online support. Although finishing your degree in your Mum’s spare room/office really is slightly underwhelming, I feel like I obtained a well-rounded and unforgettable university experience along the way.

My studying at uni has been average. The learning is ok, seems to be confusing between lecturers often giving conflicting advice. And due to the large size of the course, often modules offered get too full and you get stuck with random choices.
