We are ranked the most international university in the UK (Times Higher Education World University rankings 2025), and 38th in the UK in the 2025 QS World rankings. You can meet our international team at many events we attend throughout the world, and they will offer advice and help you through the application process. There are over 300 international scholarships up for grabs each year.

Brunel is based in west London so you can enjoy the London experience without the stresses and expense of being in central London.

Accommodation is guaranteed for our international students, and our modern, safe rooms are just a short walk away from your lectures, library, medical centre, and multi-faith prayer rooms, as well as cafés, bars and a mini-supermarket.

Activities and social events are at the heart of campus life. There are 39 different international societies, 20 different academic societies and an exciting calendar of on-campus activities. We are just 45 minutes by underground to central London, a 20-minute walk to Uxbridge town centre and only 15 minutes by car to nearby Heathrow Airport. You can also explore nearby Uxbridge. Just a short walk or bus ride from our campus, you’ll find a variety of shops, cafés, and restaurants, offering something for everyone.
