International alumni relations at Brunel cover many aspects of the relationships which continue to grow and develop from arrival on campus, through to graduation and beyond. Whether it’s creating opportunities to bring people together, promoting our alumni successes or expanding our global network, it touches on all aspects of mentoring, career support, opportunity creation and networking.  It is what we do at Brunel – create an ongoing relationship of mutual support to benefit both the future of our students and that of our University. I look forward to hearing from as many of you as possible.
