Research and education

Research is at the heart of everything we do at Brunel, and forms the foundation of our teaching. Internationally-recognised academics, many of them world-class in their field, lead our research programmes and lecture on our postgraduate and undergraduate courses. Their work feeds directly into our research supervision and lecturing, providing students with the latest thinking, cutting-edge ideas and an exceptional learning experience. This means our students can continue to combine academic excellence with the practical, entrepreneurial and imaginative approach pioneered by our namesake, the great British engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. We keep this original, pioneering mission at heart today.
