About Brunel University London and Scholarship
Brunel University London, one of several British universities established in the 1960s following the recommendations of the Robbins Report on higher education, is often characterized as a “plate glass university.” The institution’s roots can be traced back to Acton Technical College, which underwent a division in 1957. Following this division, Acton Technical College continued to serve technicians and craftsmen, while the newly established Brunel College of Technology, named in honor of the renowned British engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, was dedicated to the education of chartered engineers.
