Brunel University

Brunel University is a world-class educational institution based in Uxbridge, west London. With over 40 years of experience, the University upholds its mission – to combine teaching and research excellence with a practical and entrepreneurial approach.

Brunel is one of the very few campus-based universities in London and within the M25. It is home to around 15,000 students, including 3000 international students from over 110 countries. Brunel offers a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate and research level courses, within its eight academic schools: Law, Business, Engineering and Design, Information Systems, Computing and Mathematics, Arts, Social Sciences, Sports and Education.

For international students, the University offers a range of preparatory courses, including Foundation and Pre-Masters, plus Pre and In-Sessional English Language and Study Skills Programmes, which support students throughout their studies.

Brunel are also delighted to announce nine funded PhD studentships in social sciences for UK, EU and international students for a January 2012 start.

*The PhD scholarships only apply to our current full-time PhD courses and are not applicable to the part-time PhD courses or the New Route PhD.

Campus Highlights
At Brunel, not only is virtually everything you need on your doorstep, but being on one campus also helps to create a strong student community that flourishes as a result of living, studying and socialising in one location.

London a tube ride away
The University is just a 20-minute walk – or a short bus ride – from Uxbridge underground station, so it is a straightforward journey into the centre of the Capital. There is also a night bus that can bring you from central London to the edge of the campus. The campus is just six miles from Heathrow Airport – but not under its flight paths – and just a couple of miles from the M4, M40 and M25. Yet the traffic-free campus, including all its residential accommodation, is in a quiet location, served on its perimeters by excellent bus services.

The University offers:

• All your needs on campus: on-site residential accommodation, academic facilities, welfare support and a real community environment in a single location.
• A great location with easy access to Central London, and public transport links – bus, tube and train – within easy reach. A vibrant town life: the compact yet thriving town of Uxbridge is a 20-minute walk away, offering shopping complexes, cinemas, restaurants and much more.
• A Graduate School that provides a physical base for all postgraduate students, together with social, academic and welfare support for the duration of your stay at Brunel.

The big plus of living in a campus-based university is that the majority of your needs are catered for on-site, including the option of living in University accommodation. The University campus is an eclectic mix of modern buildings offset by lawns, gardens and interconnecting pathways. The University has invested nearly £350 million in buildings and infrastructure, and more is planned. New facilities you can already enjoy include:

• A £2.5 million UEFA-class football facilities and a competition-standard athletics track;
• An Assistive Technology Centre for disabled students;
• Indoor athletics centre, including an indoor sprint track and jump facilities, and a new sports hall; and
• A postgraduate residential quarter that brings our on-site accommodation up to 4,571 rooms, four-fifths of them en suite.
