Sort:Latest reviewsBest aspect would be very diverse and educated lecturers Worst aspect would be the architecture of the buildings , quite dark and brutalist
I love that we have everything in one campus. Student life is great and the feeling on campus is really safe. To improve, I would say accommodation. Several halls are quite old and this arises problems when living in them such as heavy mold, things not working, etc.
Just be more affordable in general
Modules are too high level and lack detail. Some lecturers themselves are not entirely proficient in what they are teaching. You’re paying accommodation/food prices at central London rates while being in the outskirts which is not really London. Paying ridiculous amounts of international fees is not worth considering what you get in return. Only thing I like are the sport facilities here.
It can be better if more food shop were available the cost cutters don’t do anything it’s best we have a more food shop and have the uni more decorated makes feel the student feel more welcome and excited to go the next lecture seeing things.

Brunel University is a great place to study and there are a lot of services and opportunities available at the university. The best aspect of my university experience has been the vast amount of opportunities such as my favourite time volunteering abroad with the help and funding of my university. I was able to go to Bali to volunteer in a foundation for those with physical disabilities which was an insightful and very purposeful experience. What could be improved about the university is the awareness of opportunities and more opportunities for those who come from an underrepresented background as I have struggled myself to find opportunities like this especially being from an underrepresented background myself and lacking the knowledge and role models for this.
It feels like a proper university campus, I've been to other campuses in London and none feel as welcoming as Brunel's.
Student services aren't always as helpful. Sometimes they just tell you to look the information up online. However, if I am reaching ou to student services it would definitely be for an issue that coul dnot be solved online, or at least because I was not able to find the information. TPO staff are very helpful on the contrary. They resolved my other issues promptly and without showing any discomfort.
Worst travelling to uni
Best - The facilities offered are great and relatively modern Worst - Slight pain to reach central London (10min cycle to Uxbridge/West Drayton or 20 minute walk to Uxbridge)
best thing is that I get a lot of support from PDC and get exposed to job opportunities and employability events worst thing is that I have to commute 3 hours to uni and back
Overall very happy with my time here at Brunel. The uni is very very supportive of me whenever I have any issues or concerns. My favourite place to go for any help with my course or just any help regarding any personal issues I have is the TPO. The staff are so sweet and so helpful. The library is a great place to just hang out and do your work and it is very organised so you can book rooms and have a private study sessions with your friends.
It's been an amazing time here for the past 4 weeks. The only problems I have is that the way timetables are structured could be improved, because many things clash. The area is quite nice and Uxbridge shopping centre is close. Eventually may get a little boring, unless you take a train to central.

Brunel University London is an awesome institution that gives opportunities to study for from different diversity backgrounds and age groups. As a mature student, I was concerned about coming to university full of young students who are tech savvy but Brunel is educating everyone on how to use latest technology to improve our learning. So far so good ,I’m enjoying my study because I have a lot of support group and programs to help me . .
Everything is great
great facilities, a lot of good food areas and a strong sense of community.
the best is the library facilities and the worst aspects is the prayer room being reallly far away from the main buildings of study
Gym isn’t free, but amazing location huge area, close to Central London.
4.2
. If there’s one thing that could be improved is adding more study areas during busy times
sometimes the quality of recorded lectures is not the best
