History
Brunel University of London is a modern, campus-based university, providing a world-class education. Located in a fantastic west London location, with excellent transport links, the University is home to over 14,000 students from 150 countries worldwide. Brunel offers a multitude of undergraduate, postgraduate and research programmes, as well as professional accreditation and internships for many of its courses. Founded in 1966, the University’s mission is to combine academic rigour with the practical, entrepreneurial and imaginative approach pioneered by its namesake, Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Brunel is located in Uxbridge, on the western edge of London and close to Heathrow Airport. The town centre is just a 20 minute walk or short bus ride from campus, and has more than 300 shops, a multiplex cinema, dozens of bars and restaurants. Uxbridge is compact and less frenetic than central London – which is very easy to get to from Uxbridge Station or West Drayton Station.
