Brunel University

'' Since becoming a university in 1966, Brunel has had much to celebrate. Our rise during the last 40 years has been impressive and our reputation grows year on year. Now a university of nearly 14,000 students - 3,000 engaged in postgraduate and research study - our special mission to combine academic rigour with the practical, entrepreneurial and imaginative approach pioneered by our namesake I K Brunel is proving as successful as ever.
