Brunel University of London

Started this uni during the pandemic so it was hard to adjust however the uni has provided a lot of support and they host a variety of activities and events to keep you busy.

Amazing

I had yet to apply to Brunel through UCAS. After receiving better results than expected at the clearing, I enrolled in a foundation year, planning to move to another university after the foundation year.

As a disabled student, the team provided me with everything even before my DSA was approved, which was admirable, and my friends at other universities said that that was not the case for them. They provided me with a note-taker, assisted me in walking to the different lecture theatres and provided assistive technology. All of this support is still available to me, and now I am also benefiting from 1:1 study support sessions.

The Professional Development Center has a wide breadth of events and employability programs to take part in. We get unlimited hours with a careers or placement consultant, depending on the year of study and course, who is trained in your subject. There are also the mentoring scheme and Bruenl Summer Internship Program, where Brunel pays you to work in an industry of your choosing.

Everything that you do on campus outside of your studies, so extracurricular, is recorded on this award system called Brunel+, where at graduation if you receive a gold award, you are recognized.

I would recommend all students to go to this uni as they provide the best services to their students.

Freshers at Brunel was all about meeting new people, going to endless parties, getting to know flatmates while moving in and setting yourself up for a studious year. So many activities and games being organised by the union, it is impossible to not to find friends and fit in. Received so many generous gifts and won prizes with different people that became some of my closest friends throughout university. Really clean rooms, well kept and organised kitchens by housekeeping. Maintenance people are very reachable and always strive to solve your issues asap. Rent is very affordable in comparison to central prices! A massive library with a vast collection of books makes a perfect setting to study. One of the UKs most renowned sport facilities and a newly refurbished lecture centre, you are always surrounded by a clean and well kept environment. My course was especially difficult by nature but the faculty and union have always found ways to extend support and feedback all in the interest of the students success. A mathematics society meant you have platform to reach out to and network with other fellow students so you never feel alone! City lift is enriching, exhilarating and always upbeat. Whatever you may need: bars, restaurants, cafes or clubs are at your doorstep. Always something to do with your friends and somewhere to go to so it's never boring or repetitive.

The freshers week was one of the most memorable time of my uni life as there were so many events everyday for 2-3 weeks to make you feel home and meet new people and have fun. Brunel university's got on campus accommodation which makes it easy to go for lectures in the morning or meet your course mates. Since you share flats with other students its a great opportunity to meet new people and make friends. The university also have 24hour security patrolling around. The university's got qn excellent library with an option of private room booking to study in groups at free of cost. The university has an excellent indoor as well as outdoor sport area for activities such as tennis, football, basketball and also indoor as well as outdoor running tracks. The University also has 3 starbucks and a Costa coffee serving 24hrs through the week. The University has an excellent gym. The University also has various services such student wellbeing, PDC which assist you on finding a placement or graduate job. The favourite thing about my course was that it was more practical where you learn various softwares and experiment them during your labs. The staff's are very friendly and ready to help at all time. The University located 10mins away from the local High Street where all the restaurants and shopping centres are located. It was just a 40min ride to Central London which pretty much settles for the city life craving.

Freshers week was amazing. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and was keen to make us feel comfortable in our new environment. The accommodation was great, got to meet lots of new people and the room was clean with lots of space. The facilities were great was, the library had lots of computers and books. Sports area was a great way of meeting new people and keeping fit. The courses and lectures provided a deeper understanding of the online lecture slides & material. The lecturers were very attentive and helped lots. It was busy but equally amazing. It helped me to be on the straight and narrow and disciplined me to work hard.

It was very inclusive, and there was a lot of information about what to expect both on campus and on the course Clean, tidy, easy access to public transport services and to facilites on campus The student Union were always on top of anything whether it be organising events or answering emails. The library was a 24-hour service and always had supportive staff Flexibility in terms of times and days. Staff were very open to discussions and structured the lessons well. The city of Uxbridge was very calm and quiet as most places closed early and the local people were all really friendly. Amazing restaurants too

There was a lot of introductory courses available to help settle in which allowed me to make friends before lectures began.

The accommodation process was easy and fast. However, moving in was long and hard with only 1 trolley available, lack of staff to help near the road of campus and my lights were dirty with dead flies and moths.

The library is amazing and it's easy to navigate and find a spot to be at but there isn't enough staff to control the loud students. The first floor should not be used as a social study area because there is so much space I wish I could work at if only it was silent. The library toilets are disgusting. The sports centre is big and I enjoy playing sports there, the toilets are always clean.

The course is simple and the lecturers engage you as much as possible. They challenge you to do your best with extra reading and quizzes. They also encourage you to speak to them for help with available office hours which helped me build a stronger relationship with my lecturer and make me more confident in my learning and exams. The feedback they give is also very helpful as well as the time it takes for the feedback is quick.

Quiet city life aside from the often clubbing events at the one club called ATIK.

You need to do a lot of reading and attend your lectures even if you think you know everything and cannot be bothered to attend. Speak to your tutor and lecturer, ask them questions, don't keep your self in the dark and rely on everyone but them for help because they are the ones teaching you! Also build friendships within your course, group studies are fun and will make you enjoy the course much more.

Its great. The universities provides student with many facilities including a 24 hour library creating a better environment to learn. The university also has good sports facilities and good accommodation facilities.
