Brunel University of London

About Brunel University of London

Brunel University of London, founded in 1966, is a leading technology university renowned for its education and research, as well as its spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship. Ranked 38th in the UK by QS World University Rankings and 1st in the UK, 4th in the world for international outlook, students study in a dynamic international environment that fuels innovation. Brunel’s original focus was in engineering, science, technology, education and management, but mergers in the last 25 years have added expertise in new subject areas such as performing arts, humanities, health, sport sciences and business as well as, most recently, our Medical School.

Research forms the foundation of the University’s teaching. Brunel is rated 74th globally for research impact (Times Higher Education University Impact Rankings 2023) and its research helps the United Nations work towards its Sustainable Development Goals. The results of the REF 2021 confirm Brunel’s position as a top 40 UK research-intensive university.

Brunel is a single-site campus university in West London, allowing easy access to the capital, without the stress and expense of being in central London.  Everything students need is within a 10-minute walk: cafés, restaurants, social and sporting facilities, academic facilities, library and study spaces. Over 4,200 students call Brunel home and there is a vibrant and friendly community feel to our campus. The town of Uxbridge with its shops, bars and restaurants is a short walk away, and central London with its famous landmarks, galleries, theatres and restaurants is just a tube ride away.

Brunel offers over 100 postgraduate taught courses with many of them being available to start in January 2025. They offer a choice of full-time, part-time, distance and online study, spanning subjects in Business, Arts, Social Sciences, Health and Life Sciences, Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences.

Brunel pioneered the launch of ‘sandwich courses’ in 1957 – a work placement year that has now been adopted by many other universities. It is just as relevant today. We continue to place high value on immersive workplace experiences and industry input for our students, working with employers in business, industry and the public sector to combine teaching and research excellence with practical and entrepreneurial skills.
