Brunel University London Review

Tips: Students should start preparing for the cold weather and the self-study concept before arriving on campus. They should start searching for local places and learning about the UK education system, job opportunities, and how best they can make use of their degree before they even start. They should also be mentally prepared for the challenges and should know that the University is always there to help.

Likes (Public transportation): The University has a lot of bus stops nearby. There is one on campus itself, and it is well connected to Uxbridge, from which we can reach central London in 40 minutes. Heathrow Airport is also very close by, and the U3 bus, which stops on campus, goes straight to the airport.

Dislikes (Internships): There are a lot of options for internships. The University has a dedicated PDC department that helps in finding internships for us, and also even if the internships are unpaid, you get valuable experience that you can use to secure full-time jobs.

Academically and professionally focused.

Tips: It was a tough transition going from a high school student to a university student. Especially in an entirely new country. But the university was quite supportive in helping the students settle in. The teachers are great and very helpful, so transitioning wasn't as tough anymore.

The glory of staying on campus and enjoying life as a international student.

Tips: Highly recommend hitting up alumni on LinkedIn or the uni portals before you even pack your bags. Actually look into the specific modules ahead of time so you know how deep the material goes and don't get completely blindsided by the workload. Money-wise, yeah, I actually snagged a scholarship. I just went through the portals and wrote a ton about my career goals and why the degree made sense for my future. Honestly, I'd give the whole experience a solid 9 out of 10. Brunel's campus is massive and there’s always some club, event, or community stuff happening. Definitely try to live on campus for at least your first two terms, it's the best way to actually get the full experience.

Likes (Public transportation): Brunel University is well connected to tube stations and different bus routes. Uxbridge and West Drayton stations are connected throughout the city. Public transportation is very convenient and affordable; I would recommend searching about the suitable Oyster card.

Dislikes (Safety): Brunel University has 24/7 campus security, even though staying out of local fights and roaming alone is not recommended, especially during winter when the daylight is less. I would recommend walking around the campus during summer, making some local friends.

Finance and Accounting BSc - Batch of 2025

3.6

Good but Has Challanges.

Tips: There wasn’t much of any cultural shift, but you do get exposed to different cultures, different languages, and different people. The university was good in the starting years of mine, but moving forward, due to some internal politics and financial issues, the full-time faculty was removed and was substituted with short-term contract faculty, which caused a lot of difficulty during exams and final-year projects.

Likes (Indian Food): We can say London is a combination of countries; let it be people, let it be restaurants and food, and let it be groceries. I used to live in Uxbridge, a walkable distance from my university. In the beginning there weren’t many Indian restaurants but you can find some with an average pricing of £8-10 per person. I would prefer both based on the energy I’m left with to cook and and the time so it varies, but according to me, you should and will automatically learn basic cooking and survival skills.

Dislikes (Part time work): The biggest issue with on-campus jobs is that they usually only offer full-time 40-hour contracts, which is useless for international students since we're legally capped at 20 hours a week. That said, working part-time is still a massive learning experience for managing your time and money, no matter how much financial backing you have from home. But let’s clear up a major myth: a lot of students think they can completely cover their tuition fees just by working a part-time gig. If that's your game plan, honestly, studying abroad isn’t for you. While the hourly pay varies a bit depending on your age, a decent part-time job will really only earn you enough to cover your day-to-day living expenses, not your actual college fees.

MSc Finance and Accounting- Brunel University

Tips: Brunel is a well-known university in London. You get a name for sure. The work opportunities post-graduation are very good, especially for finance. It all depends on the course you select. Always try to get the assignments within the deadline period. Brunel works on assignment assessment. Except for finance and math courses, where they have semester exams. The professors guide you really well for these exams, and they have their hourly meetup sessions to solve any doubts you might have.

Likes (Part time work): They value international students and guide them through the entire process. It's quite flexible, and it's easy to get part-time jobs in London. The work and study balance is quite manageable. On-campus part-time jobs are available as well, but they allow only a maximum of 16 hours to work in a week, whereas off-campus you can work up to 20 hours.
