Have a question about our programmes?

“Brunel was a great option, I've heard loads about their online programme it was easy, nice, accommodating and allowed me to work as well, so it was the best option for me.

I found the programme beneficial. It was great and everyone was so helpful. Everything was easy to access. The online e-vision and the portal were easy to use. It was really user-friendly,and I'm not great with computers at all. The academic staff was great. Any email was answered within a day or two. All questions were pretty much put to rest - there were no concerns.”
