1st in London for English and 3rd in the UK - National Student Survey 2025. Join a cutting edge and student focused course in one of the world’s most important cultural capitals.

English at Brunel embraces its London location, its unique history and its global majority campus through its emphasis on celebrating the diversity of our students, practicing critical thinking about pressing social and cultural issues, and enhancing the core transferable skills needed for a workplace transformed by AI.

Although we prioritise the contemporary from day one, our course remains deeply rooted in the historical origins of the world we live in today, with innovative and culturally relevant reconsiderations of the traditional texts.

At Brunel we have a very wide definition of what constitutes the ‘literary text’. You will look at novels, poems, prose and plays. But you are just as likely to encounter life writing, cultural events, memes, activism, critical theory, films, rap, and even murder.

In each case, we are less focused on the reading list, and more on using cultural products as an effective and fun way of thinking critically and creatively about the pressing issues of the world today, gender, racial justice, class conflict and the legacies of colonialism, of our shared and differing pasts, and of course, what matters to you personally.

Brunel is one of the leading English departments in the country for student experience. We are committed to supporting all our students in their brilliant diversity. The ethos of the department is to respect everyone’s voice as legitimate and empowered. You will be taught in small classes by world-leading experts in their field who will know your names and go the extra mile to accommodate you in your learning style.

Brunel’s teaching and study environments are varied and are primarily designed to be safe spaces for you to express yourself, and to get the best out of your preferred way of learning. We build our delivery and assessments around what allows our students to attain their potential.

Always putting students first, every year is organised to prepare you for the workplace, encouraging you to capitalise on the incredibly popular transferable skills specific to an English degree: critical and creative thinking, communication and collaboration.
