Based on the South coast of England, City College Brighton and Hove is a General FE College with 20+ years’ experience within the international market place. With annual enrolments of around 10,000, we cater for every level of study through to higher education and professional qualifications such as higher diplomas and Foundation Degrees.  Close links with the University of Brighton and the University of Sussex provide an ideal path for progression.

We have a wealth of experience managing overseas projects (in particular within the Middle and Far East) which includes capacity building and teacher training through to curriculum and programme development.  Currently we are engaged in projects in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Ghana, UAE and Jordan, and we are delivering bespoke training programmes in UK for client organisations from Saudi Arabia, China, UAE, France and Spain.

We have welcomed international students from more than 40 countries including Libya, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan and Iraq, China, Japan and India. This has provided the College and our teaching staff significant experience in understanding the specific pedagogical needs of students from these geographical areas and of adapting academic programmes to suit their requirements.
