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.

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.

Career

Whether you're looking for work experience, searching for a graduate job or placement, recruitment fairs, employer pop-ups and other careers events are a great way to network with companies from a variety of sectors.

A truly holistic learning experience
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
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.

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.

I really liked the fact that the course was interlinked and whatever you studied in one module could be applied in the other modules.
