About

History

In 2016, Brunel celebrated 50 years as a university.  However, our history can be traced back much further to 1798 through our predecessor colleges of Borough Road College, Maria Grey College, Shoreditch College and the West London Institute of Higher Education and as well as through Acton Technical College then Brunel College. 

Education

    By becoming part of team Brunel, you'll study and learn with academic experts who are at the top of their field and passionate about their subjects. And develop problem-solving, study and research skills through lectures, seminars, field trips, presentations, and group work and research projects. You’ll have the option to personalise your course by choosing modules to suit your future career path. 

    Your studies will be supported by some of the best equipment and facilities around, that mirror the world of work. With more than 1,400 study spaces, 500 PCs, group study rooms and silent study areas across the campus, plus 24-hour access to our Library, there’s always somewhere to get down to work.

Research

Brunel has three Research Institutes that bring together academics from most of our research areas to collaboratively tackle very specific challenges to the world’s economy and society. They are world leading, with highly-cited papers, substantial grant income and provide a thriving community for research staff and students.

I’ve truly chosen the best university for myself. The course is engaging and the lecturers are helpful. Furthermore this is a truly international university and I feel so comfortable here. Not only is the academic side of university life interesting but there are so many opportunities for growth and personal development sponsored by the university. It is truly a wonderful experience.
Review of Brunel

I loved my course, the professors were very knowledgeable and helpful. Experienced some difficulties with university administration and have heard of friends who encountered the same problem. Some departments are underfunded.
