Overview
Brunel University London is located in Uxbridge, north-west London, and is one of the UK’s most ambitious, forward-looking universities. Its strong focus on employability after graduation makes it home to just under 13,000 students from over 100 countries. Brunel graduates benefit from the 13th highest starting salaries in the UK, and the university is currently ranked 40th in the UK and in the top 350 in the world in the QS World University Rankings 2024.
Almost all Brunel courses are available as a four-year ‘sandwich’, with one year’s work placement before graduation. Over £400 million worth of investment has recently been completed to create an exciting state-of-the-art campus providing students with world-class teaching, social, and sports facilities.
The campus is within walking distance of the London Underground, just a short 20-minute ride into the city. At the start of the academic year, an Airport Welcome Service at Heathrow will help students find Brunel.
