Brunel University
About Us:
Brunel is a campus-based university situated in Uxbridge, West London, and is home to nearly 15,000 students from over 100 countries worldwide. Founded in 1966, our distinctive mission is to combine teaching and research excellence with the practical and entrepreneurial approach pioneered by its namesake, Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Brunel Today: The name of Brunel University has become as well-known and respected in engineering circles as was the name of Isambard Kingdom Brunel a hundred years ago. Both reputations are well deserved, reflecting outstanding technical competence, creativity and commitment which have resulted in important advances in science and knowledge benefiting the lives of countless people. However, today, Brunel University's influence extends far beyond the fields of engineering, science and technology, which were its traditional strengths. A long succession of developments and mergers has brought the University from modest beginnings to a major force on the UK higher education scene.
Small beginnings: The first step in the establishment of Brunel University was in 1928, when Middlesex County Council transferred its Junior Technical School, founded in Chiswick in 1910, to Acton in west London. Here it grew rapidly both in size and reputation, winning the respect of parents, employers and the education authorities alike. Its original purpose was to provide recruits for local industry and early statistics collected by HM Inspectors show that between 1929 and 1933, 90 per cent of boys leaving the school found employment in the engineering and building trades. This was to be a well-founded precedent to the unparalleled graduate employment record Brunel enjoys today.
Wartime: When war broke out, Acton Technical College as it was now known, had to adapt the courses it offered to suit wartime needs. These now included basic technical instruction for women; domestic and clerical classes for members of the Women's Services (ATS, WAAF and WRNS); and a degree-level course for engineering cadets.
Brunel College of Technology: Immediately after the war, the government began a radical restructuring of further education to improve the nation's skills and increase the efficiency of British industry. Each local education authority was required to submit an outline for the provision of further education in its own area, taking into account the view of local industry, neighbouring authorities, universities and voluntary bodies. Middlesex's proposal, included ambitious plans for new buildings and improved facilities and was finally approved in 1953. In the meantime, Acton Technical College had continued to expand and now concentrated on the provision of more advanced courses and in particular, degree programmes.
