Study Engineering and Design in the United Kingdom

The School of Engineering and Design at Brunel University



The School of Engineering and Design is one of the largest and most successful engineering and design Schools in the UK, providing a wide range of exciting, forward-looking undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Recognised as a centre of excellence in engineering and design with a strong focus on modern science and technology, the School has an international reputation in research and prides itself on high quality teaching supported by excellent research facilities. The School's high reputation has led to extensive and close collaborative links with industry. These links and the sandwich placement scheme for undergraduates and industrial links at the dissertation stage for postgraduates have meant that the School's graduates are highly sought after as employees.

The School has 5 academic subject areas: Advanced Manufacturing & Enterprise Engineering, Brunel Design, Civil Engineering, Electronic & Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Teaching and facilities were rated "excellent" in the last independent assessment. Facilities include modern, well-equipped engineering, design and computer laboratories, motorsport workshops and wind tunnels. For students on the aviation, aeronautics and aerospace courses there is a state of the art flight simulator with a VTOL facility enabling the testing of project and design work in a practical setting.

Brunel features high in the UK league tables. Our courses are among the highest-ranking for Product and Industrial Design in the UK. In all the most recent University guides, as well as in the National Student Survey, Brunel Design is placed in the top four out of all UK Art and Design courses. General Engineering was ranked 6th in the UK in the Guardian University Guide 2011, out of over 100 universities.

In the current Research Assessment Exercise, 95% of academics in the School achievedinternational standard, with 100% achieving this level in General Engineering. General Engineering at Brunel is ranked 5th in the country and Mechanical Engineering is ranked 8th in the country by Research Power.  Many undergraduate courses are accredited with UK professional organisations including the IMechE, the IET and the Institution of Engineering Designers. A number of postgraduate courses enjoy accreditation and approval status with, for instance, the IMechE, the IET and CIBSE and other courses are in the process of seeking accreditation.



The School has a thriving student population with approximately 1600 undergraduate students, 1000 postgraduate taught students, 300 research students and fellows and 110 academic staff.



About the University

 Brunel University was granted a Royal Charter in 1966, named after the famous Victorian engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the University enjoys a current student population of approximately 14, 000.

Excellent location

: Brunel is excellently situated 17 miles to the west of Central London and enjoys easy access to the city centre (1 hour on the underground Metropolitan line from the nearest town Uxbridge). The University is close to the London Heathrow Airport (20 minutes by car) and has close motorway links to the rest of the UK (within 15 minutes you have access to the M25, the M40 and the M4.) where you might travel to all parts of the UK. At Brunel you have the best of all possible worlds.

Integrated campus

: Brunel University has an integrated campus where you can study, eat in the many restaurants, play sports, relax in the student union and finally rest, all within 7 minutes walk. Many universities cannot offer this integrated and safe campus atmosphere.

Sporting facilities

: at Brunel you can enjoy almost any sport that you can imagine. Indeed we have been proud to be the host University to many world-class athletics and sportsmen and women in the last 5 years. In respect to sports, we have in the last two years invested millions on sporting facilities including a fitness centre and Olympic indoor running tracks, facilities that helped London secure the 2012 Olympic games. The Sunday Times recently said Brunel University had the best sporting facilities of all London Universities.
