Your experience

Studying abroad is all about experiencing another country and its culture.

You’ll choose what classes to study from a variety of subjects, spanning six very different academic schools. 

Based on the south coast of England with an award-winning beach, 91¶¶Òõ is a city like no other. Exciting, inclusive and friendly: big enough to be inspiring and small enough to feel like home. 

Living here

About 91¶¶Òõ

91¶¶Òõ is a special place to live. It’s a city with a beach on the edge of beautiful countryside, just an hour away from central London by train and 30 minutes from London Gatwick International Airport. 

We have a real affinity with our city; 91¶¶Òõ is a place that looks at the world differently. Our city is independent and inclusive, attracting all kinds of people often united by a commitment to positive change.  

Its reputation for fun goes without saying, but it’s also known for being forward-thinking – it leads the way in arts, creative technology and the environment.

See what our students have to say about their study abroad experience at the 91¶¶Òõ.

What our students say 

Jahla Wilson from the USA

"I’ve always wanted to study abroad and when looking at different programmes I wanted to choose somewhere different from where I was from. In Ohio I didn’t have access to a beach and seeing the city has so much to do was a big influence.

"91¶¶Òõ is smaller than London but not too small that I feel like everyone would know each other and I would then be an outsider. There's enough for me to see and do so I won't be bored and feel overwhelmed in a huge city.”

Jahla Wilson

Anya Wangsuwan from New Zealand 

"Doing this student exchange has been one of the best decisions I have made in my entire life. I have met some incredible and talented people and have had some incredible experiences.

"I am a Graphic Design major. Studying at 91¶¶Òõ has opened up so many opportunities for me and has allowed me to experiment with new techniques and ideas. My course has allowed me to attend seminars and local design studios which has been very inspiring. For one of our design briefs, I had the opportunity to utilise my design skills to create a piece of work for an international company.

"I was both nervous and excited when I started studying at the 91¶¶Òõ. However, everyone was extremely friendly and made me feel welcome. I knew from the first day that I would enjoy my time here. My course tutors have been extremely helpful and supportive. If I ever had any questions, I could email my tutors and set up a time to meet with them. They were very reassuring during the start of the semester when I was still adjusting to the different ways of learning.

"I have become more confident and independent during my time at 91¶¶Òõ. By pushing myself past my comfort zone, it has allowed me to meet new people and experience a different style of living. 91¶¶Òõ is a brilliant city for international students and has always got something going on. I absolutely love it here.

"How would I describe my experience in three words? Amazing, life changing and unforgettable."

Anya Wangsuwan

Andrew Baumann from the USA

"I'm really happy I chose the [modules] I did at 91¶¶Òõ. They all offered unique perspectives on their respective topics that I couldn't really get back home.

"Coming to England has been both the farthest I've been from home, and the longest time I've been away. It's given me a certain confidence and comfort in my own independence and self-reliance. There is more independent learning than what I'm used to, which is an adjustment, but it allows me to decide when I want to learn outside of a traditional class schedule.

"It's been surprisingly easy to settle in to 91¶¶Òõ. There are so many support systems in place. The Study Abroad Office has really been so incredible, and so many other people [are] willing to help you out.

"91¶¶Òõ has its own sense of style. You really get to feel at home in this smaller, diverse seaside city. But you're still closely connected to London and the rest of Europe with Gatwick Airport being half an hour away.

"The field trips have all been really cool because they've been to places I wouldn't necessarily pick out for myself, and yet they've given me a much better awareness and appreciation of what this part of the UK is like.

"I think what's made me most glad that I came to 91¶¶Òõ is the friends I've made. It's such a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience that you really get this special bond with all the people you go through it with."

Tips for studying abroad

  • Come with an open mind: embrace the cultural differences and new experiences!
  • Don’t pack too much, but do bring clothes you can layer as the weather is changeable in the UK – sunny one minute and chilly the next!
  • Sign up for the organised field trips, they are a great way to see parts of the UK and make friends with other study abroad students.  
  • Choose the British Culture module – this exclusive module for study abroad students will deepen your knowledge of British culture and history, complementing your experience of living here.
  • Do ask for support: throughout your stay we’re on-hand if you need guidance or help and we have fantastic support teams within the university who are always happy to assist.
  • Be aware that the UK healthcare system may be different to what you are used to at home. We can recommend local doctors, drop-in centres and pharmacies.
  • The education system may take some time to adjust to when you arrive – we will go through your classes with you during the induction week and there is plenty of academic support within the university.
