Placements allow you to practise the skills and knowledge learned in the classroom, out in the anthropological field. I’d recommend doing a placement to any prospective student.

Wangu Mureithi

Anthropology at Brunel ranked top nationally for student satisfaction in the National Student Survey for the last two years

How we teach

We have an excellent reputation for our cutting-edge research addressing global issues and local problems and we relish the chance to share and exchange knowledge with you. As well as lectures, seminars and tutorials, you’ll take practical modules that engage with ethnographic methods including participant observation and interviewing. As you progress through the course, staff step back so you take more responsibility for your project’s design and implementation.

Getting ready for work

In both the three-year and four-year degree you will have many opportunities to do real, hands-on anthropological research, working with many organisations in different places.

The fieldwork required as part of your dissertation research could take you in exciting directions. Previous students have undertaken placements in a Nepalese monastery, a South African women’s refuge, the Police Complaints Authority (on the Stephen Lawrence case) as well as in schools and charities. This research and fieldwork forms a major part of the course and will make you stand out.

The placements build up fantastic experience and connect you with organisations and people who will be invaluable when it comes to progressing your career. Employers clearly value the skills you’ll acquire. Recent graduates are now working with the World Bank, UNICEF, the NHS, NGOs and charities such as Oxfam and Save the Children, as well as local government, legal sectors, business and the media.

When you graduate from Brunel, you’ll be one of the most employable anthropology graduates in the country.

Naba Asad

Our blend of theory and practice-based modules gives you the skills sought by many education-based industries

How we teach

The academic staff on our Contemporary Education programme are enormously experienced. They come from different backgrounds and have long experience of youth work, classroom teaching and education in broader settings, meaning they can bring their own research to their teaching.

Learning happens in many different ways in life and the same is true of our degree course. You’ll be taught in lectures, seminars, tutorials, via student presentations and in practical sessions.

We offer one assessed professional work experience module per year. We will encourage you to take this as a weekly industry placement or in a block over the holidays. When you go on placement you’ll be fully supported by your mentor and tutor.


You will have the opportunity to undertake placements in a range of educational environments such as community-based organisations, the floating classroom at Groundworks, youth offending institutions and faith schools. These placements allow you to contextualise your learning and enable you to experience different educational settings.

On graduation, some students continue to QTS teacher training courses as a route to becoming primary teachers. Others apply for places on Brunel’s highly-regarded Postgraduate Certificate of Primary Education (PGCE) course. Many enter education-related fields like counselling, educational psychology, local authority work, social work, administration and education management.

Whatever your aspiration, a degree in Contemporary Education from Brunel will give you a strong foundation on which to build.

I did not think I’d be covering this much in a three-year course. It’s mesmerising, the myriad books I’ve managed to cover and digest in a short amount of time.

Samuel Matton

Our English course is taught by world-class researchers, giving students the opportunity to get involved with research institute-led seminars and conferences

How we teach

You’ll discover big ideas and frameworks in lectures, preparing you for more detailed discussions in smaller seminar groups. In seminars we’ll encourage you to share your opinions with fellow students and the tutor, so you’re actively involved in the learning process. You will spend a good amount of time in independent study: as you’d imagine, there’s plenty of reading to be done.

For your special project in Year 3 you’ll be assigned a supervisor to guide you throughout the process. Once your literary topic is approved you’ll explore what fascinates you most, with support and feedback from your supervisor.


You have the option to undertake work experience in Year 3. We focus on helping you to look at potential career paths and we encourage you to take advantage of experiences like volunteering, mentoring and joining clubs and societies that will help you make the most of your time with us.

The study discipline, research skills and ability to shape large amounts of information into an engaging argument make our English graduates very attractive to future employers. Many graduates go into teaching or into media-related jobs like publishing, marketing and journalism. Others go into the business world as account executives, campaign organisers and consultants.

Natalie Canning

Brunel Law School pioneered industrial placements for law in the UK

How we teach

The research published by our staff extends the frontiers of domestic and international legal scholarship. Prisoner’s rights, child-to-parent abuse, EU-refugee migration issues, human rights in anti-terrorism legislation, consumer rights, international trade and international property are some of the topics currently being debated and written about. This means you learn from the people who write the textbooks you read.

You’ll attend lectures, seminars and one-to-one meetings. We encourage you to learn about law through film and literature and through the CV-building activities that we offer. Throughout the programme, you will confront contemporary, real-world legal challenges — particularly in the criminal justice system — to develop your skills in analysis and critical thinking.


If you opt for a sandwich course you’ll spend a year on industrial placement gaining invaluable experience in the working world. Students have undertaken placements with solicitors’ firms, barristers’ chambers and local authority offices.

In addition, we offer short courses in client interviewing, fraud examination and advocacy. We give you the opportunity to carry out pro bono work — developing your skills in legal research and client interaction — all of which is appealing to employers.

There are opportunities for law graduates in a wide range of activities. You may take advantage of your professional exemptions and train to become a barrister or solicitor. Or your degree could take you into other careers such as mediation, consultancy, industry, commerce, public administration, social services, management and humanitarian aid.

Sociology BScwww.brunel.ac.uk/sociology

Why study Sociology at Brunel?

Sociology at Brunel focuses on social change and transformations. You’ll explore all aspects of human behaviour, from the personal and the social to the cultural.

We have an international reputation for research and teaching excellence. Our sociologists regularly publish on subjects including the public sphere, social theory, celebrity culture, the influence of the media, urban spaces, sport, multiculturalism, cosmetic surgery and comedy cultures.

What we teach

If you are fascinated by human behaviour and the societies in which we order ourselves, contemporary sociology will stimulate your thinking. The earliest sociologists examined the major issues of their time — poverty, unemployment and social conflict. Today, sociologists look at how such social issues are redefined by contemporary processes of individualisation, globalisation and new forms of communication.

In addition to our Sociology BSc, we offer Sociology and Media Studies BSc giving you the chance to specialise in areas such as the social impact of new media, information and communications technologies, media discourse, media policy and regulation. Study focuses on the personal, social and cultural dimensions of societal relations.

Industrial Design and Technology BAwww.brunel.ac.uk/design

Why study Industrial Design and Technology at Brunel?

Design is about solving problems, innovation and communication. It is also about understanding language - whether that language is mechanical engineering, graphic design or human behaviour. What you want to communicate and who you want to communicate with determine the language you will use.

We’ll help you cultivate the skills required to understand ‘total design’, from the function of products through to their external values.

Industrial Design and Technology BA shares elements of the Product Design BSc and Product Design Engineering BSc courses, but differs in its emphasis on mechanics and electronics during the first and second years. This route suits creative and practical thinkers who prefer to learn through building and evaluating project-based challenges, with less theory and quantitative analysis.

Our course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering Designers.

What we teach

Here are some of the typical modules we offer on the course. We’d encourage you to go online to view the full module details and watch a short video about Design at Brunel.
