Study Engineering
and Design in the United KingdomThe 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.

: 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

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.
