Showcasing Indian students in the UK

On 27 May Universities UK are launching a new campaign to amplify the voices of Indian students and provide insights into their university experiences in the UK.

This campaign will explore the quality of education in the UK, students’ career prospects, diversity and what it’s like to be an Indian student in the UK.

Throughout the month-long campaign, universities around the UK will share stories and quotes from Indian students and graduates, using the hashtag #IndianStudentsInUK.

What our Indian graduates say

We welcome new students from India each year to our international student community. Below you can read what they say about studying at the University of Brighton.

Photography MA graduate Bhavik from India says: “The best thing [about studying at Brighton] was the diversity and the communities that I found.

“All the staff at Brighton were so encouraging, and it was a great place to learn. As an Indian student, I can confidently say that you will have the best time in Brighton!”

Another one of our Indian graduates, sports grad Ketan, shares why he enjoyed studying at the University of Brighton: “The seaside atmosphere immediately put me at ease, and the diversity of people and cultures made it feel very friendly, even though I was thousands of miles away from where I grew up!

“The vibrant atmosphere and diverse community at the University of Brighton made it the perfect place for me to grow.
