2017 영국 대학 평가(Teaching Excellence Framework, TEC) 에서 은상 수상
런던 브루넬대학교는 웨스트 런던(West London)의 억스브리지(Uxbridge)에 있으며, The Complete University Guide 2018에서 발표한 상위 50개 대학 중 한 곳으로 선정되었다. 유학생에게 인기 있는 세계 25개 대학교 중 한 곳이기도 하다. 하나의 캠퍼스로 이루어진 브루넬대학교에는 24시간 개방하는 도서관, 컴퓨터 센터, 완벽한 체육관 및 연습실과 최신식 피트니스 센터, 다양한 교내 상점과 레스토랑, 학생 바, 나이트클럽 등 다양한 학습 및 레크레이션 시설이 갖추어져 있다. 1928년 설립된 브루넬은 미들섹스군의회 부설 직업학교가 당시 한창 팽창 중이던 런던 서부 외곽지역인 액턴으로 이전, 액턴기술학교로 성장한 데서 시작되었다. 액턴기술학교는 런던시의 팽창과 함께 학생수가 급격히 팽창하자 1957년 다수의 신축건물을 확보하면서 새로운 발전의 전기를 맞았다. 당시 구교사를 사용하는 쪽은 전문기술인력 양성을 위한 직업학교로 그대로 남았고 신축교정을 사용하는 쪽은 고급전문기술인 양성을 목표로 하는 브루넬 공과대학으로 나뉘어 각각 별도 성장의 길을 택하게 됐다.
