Brunel University London is a public research university located in the Uxbridge area of London, England. It was founded in 1966 and named after the Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. In June 1966, Brunel College of Advanced Technology was awarded a royal charter and became Brunel University. The University conceived a brand of education, and later research, which was overwhelmingly geared towards the needs of industry and, echoing the spirit and vision of its namesake Isambard Kingdom Brunel, it did so with flair and rigor. Brunel's ambition was to equip students for the world of work and to address society’s challenges on a global scale.

The challenges have changed, but the University's aims are as innovative and ambitious as they always were – to develop research and educational programs informed by, and tailor-made for, those who benefit; and to give students the academic education and personal skills needed to become a success in the real world.
