Admissions

We are committed to your success.

Brighton College provides guidance to prospective students to ensure you make an informed decision about your chosen program of study. That is why we suggest starting the admissions process with a one-on-one meeting with an Educational Advisor. They are trained to help you understand your options, make an informed decision and guide you through the application process.

Our admission criteria includes entry assessment tools and admission requirements to ensure all our students have the required language competencies (see Language Proficiency Assessment Policy), and the basic knowledge, skills and abilities to achieve program outcomes.
