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.

Be cautious and come prepared.

Tips: There are a lot of things that one should keep in mind before moving to the UK. You should know how to face rejection. Part-time jobs are not easy. I have seen a lot of my fellow students struggling to get a part-time job. I have seen my senior struggling to get a full-time job in their own fields, so it is very much suggested to come prepared for this part of life. About scholarships, the majority of students can get scholarships if they have a certain merit score in their Bachelor's degree, if they are coming for the M.Sc. degree. I am pretty satisfied with the university that I've chosen because of its facilities and the faculty, but looking at the condition of the country, I really would not prefer anybody coming here.

Dislikes (Safety): There is no safety around the area in London and the police are not even armed and they do not do anything apart from just creating issues. Even if there is a stabbing taking place, they just restrict the area for a certain time, but nothing is done about the issue. No strict action is taken against the stabbers or criminals. Phone snatching is very common every other day. One of my friends' phones was snatched. So this is a very common activity that takes place in London and it has become a new normal here for which the police don't do anything.

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

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.
