Brunel University London is a public university for study and research. It is located in Uxbridge, a part of West London, England. The university started in June 1966. Its name comes from a famous engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. People sometimes call it a "plate glass university" because it was built in the 1960s.

In the late 1990s, Brunel made a plan to sell its smaller locations and bring all its buildings and activities together at the Uxbridge campus. This made everything easier to manage in one place. Since 2014, the university has had three main sections, including: College of Business, Arts and Social Sciences; College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences; and College of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences.
