I believe its the amount of extracurricular and work experience which you are able to get at Brunel University allows for it to be a great place to study as programs such as BSIP and the Ready programme allow students the opportunity to gain experience while in their 1st year at Brunel which will allow for students to stand out when applying for placements and internships in their 2nd year. This can be improved by creating more programmes which are accessible throughout the school year and advertising it more to Brunel students so that they know that these programs are available to them
Ugly buildings, not enough restaurants, many things are old, showing age badly
umm the people
Brunel University gives its student every opportunity it can for them to succeed in their careers. From great teachers to student support you can find help whenever it’s needed. The tutor are the most helpful as they provide solutions to problems that are difficult to deal with. The location is very convenient for me as it takes u day and hour to get there. Studying at Brunel University is a great way to start your journey in your own field.
When my lecturer was rude.
Brunel is a great place to study because the lecturers are passionate about what they're teaching and the resources needed are easily available on Brightspace. The university also has a lot of events to cater to interests and hobbies to enhance student life at Brunel. One thing I would improve is the assignment deadlines. Last year, my assignment deadlines were quite spaced out with a week or two between each one. This year my assignments for semester 1 are all due within the same week and with Christmas holidays and plans coming up, it's making it difficult to juggle my time properly.
The uni itself is amazing and so are all of the staff. I don't live on campus so I can't comment too much on the student union.
The student union is excellent and trying to make you participe in the campus life, but otherwise they need to spread the voice through the students to make them more crowded.
Good university, really enjoying it
My experience at Brunel University is very different from any other student, I would guess. As a mature student, I have other life commitments, and don't spend as much time on campus. However, whenever I needed the support, I had a very satisfactory level of support.
Campus needs more colour.
The environment and people are super positive but some of the facilities are quite old.
Its a very nice connected campus, but with lack of many facilities and appealing architecture.
Having a campus is good, however buildings look depressing.
A lot of socialising experiences, good locations to study. Could be better if there were better food places on campus.
Studying Computer Science at Brunel University offers a mix of advantages and challenges. The course is well-connected to industry, providing strong opportunities for placements, internships, and real-world projects, which enhances employability. Modern facilities and a focus on practical learning, including industry-standard programming and software development skills, equip students with the tools needed for a career in tech. The diverse and supportive community fosters a welcoming environment, and the university’s location near London provides access to career opportunities. However, some students find the large class sizes can limit personal interaction with lecturers, and the heavy workload can sometimes feel overwhelming. While many of the facilities are top-notch, there are occasional reports of outdated labs and resources. Additionally, some students feel that the social scene within the Computer Science department is less vibrant, and the course structure can lack flexibility for those wanting to specialise or explore diverse areas of tech in depth.
Lots of support available for all facets of student life. Commute is tiring for me, but its a personal problem.
I think the student support is amazing and I feel like I am being heard, making it a much more safer and comfortable environment to be in. There may be more work needed in some student unions more than others due to lack of engagement in general but I do think with a little more advertising it can be achieved!

It’s cool.
The tutors literally just have read from slides so far into first year. Not a huge fan of that.
