About Brunel University London and Scholarship
Brunel University London (BUL), often referred to simply as Brunel, stands as a distinguished public research institution situated in the Uxbridge area of London, England. Established in 1966, the university draws its name from Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the renowned Victorian engineer and trailblazer of the Industrial Revolution. The transformation from Brunel College of Advanced Technology to Brunel University occurred with the award of a royal charter in June 1966. In 2014, the university formally adopted the name Brunel University London.
Brunel University London is recognized as a British plate glass university, reflecting its commitment to providing a comprehensive and modern approach to education. The university’s organizational structure comprises three colleges, a framework implemented in August 2014. These academic colleges are the College of Business, Arts and Social Sciences; the College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences; and the College of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences.
Over the years, Brunel has consistently achieved commendable positions in the annual rankings of UK universities conducted by The Guardian and The Times. Additionally, the university has demonstrated a notable global presence in world rankings. In the THES (Times Higher Education Supplement) world university rankings for 2014–15, Brunel secured a position in the range of 226–250 (shared), marking a significant ascent. Notably, Brunel earned the 93rd spot globally in the field of engineering and technology, ranked 32nd among European institutions, and secured the 11th position among British institutions, according to the THES world rankings. These achievements underscore Brunel’s commitment to academic excellence and its standing in the international academic landscape.
