Brunel’s great because all the lecture rooms are on one campus; it makes it really easy to get to classes.

Why did you choose to study at Brunel?

I chose my course at Brunel University London because it gave me the opportunity to do a business-related placement in my third year.  Also, it’s not often you get to mix analytical skills from science with a competitive edge from business. I get to access different parts of knowledge in those areas which I wouldn’t normally be exposed to.  I enjoy the business side most because it gives me a different perspective on life in the business world.

How did you find your work placement?

My work placement was really enjoyable. I loved that I learned how to be a professional asset to a company. During my placement I created an online database that sped up the user’s recovery time from illness and injury.

What is one thing you feel stands out about Brunel?

Brunel's great because all the lecture rooms are on one campus; it makes it really easy to get to classes.
