    Hi, I am currently a placement year student at Brunel studying Industrial Design. I loved living on campus in my first year, and took advantage of all the societies and sports that Brunel has on offer. I enjoy taking pottery classes at the Brunel Art Centre and have also learnt to sail through the sailing club. I am really enjoying my course and university life and am very happy to answer any questions you may have.

  • Fardhin

    Brunel University of London
    Aerospace Engineering
    Hello, I'm Fardhin, currently in my second year of studying Aerospace Engineering. Ever since I was young, I’ve been fascinated by planes, how they move through the sky with such power and precision. That curiosity led me to explore how they function, and it’s what inspired me to pursue this field. As I continue my studies, I'm excited about the different paths my future could take. I’m considering becoming a pilot, which would bring me closer to my passion for flight, or possibly working as a chartered engineer, where I could help design and create the next generation of aircraft. Both paths excite me because they offer the chance to combine my love for aviation with the technical knowledge I’m developing now. I’m passionate about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the aerospace field, and I'm excited to see where my journey takes me.

    Computer Science
    Hey there! I'm a third-year computer science student from Tanzania. When I'm not buried in code, you can find me on the football field, shooting hoops on the basketball court, or battling it out in online battle royale games—I'm a bit of a gaming enthusiast. I've also got a thing for cars, their mechanics and design fascinate me. What really excites me, though, is the idea of merging my interests with artificial intelligence. The thought of blending manual processes with AI tech gets me fired up. So, fellow future students, remember that your passions can lead you to exciting places, and I can't wait to explore this journey with you!

  • Julia

    Psychology
    Hello everyone :) My name is Julia and I came to Brunel University from Poland. After mandatory studies I took 3-year break from academic education, while I was traveling and working abroad (among others as a windsurfing instructor). Currently I'm living on campus with a plan to live off campus next year. In the future I'd like to pursue my career in the field of Clinical Psychology, Cognitive Psychology or Neuropsychology. I've always been interested in people's behaviour and how the human brain works, so these fields are a perfect combination for me.

    Medicine
    I am from Taiwan, and I am now a 3rd-year MBBS student at Brunel Medical School. My special interests in medicine include Immunology and Neurology. I chose to study Medicine because I love science and art, and Medicine is the perfect combination of both. I particularly love the Brunel MBBS Team-Based Learning model (TBL) as it guides my learning journey as a medical student very well. The early placement opportunity since Year 1 has been the most rewarding learning experience for me.
