PostgraduateUndergraduate courses in CourseOpen Day name Saturday 24 June 2017 Welcome

A very warm welcome to our undergraduate Open Day at Brunel University London I am so proud of our university, its courses, staff and facilities and I am delighted to be able to show them to you today. Last year we celebrated our 50th anniversary and since 1966 we’ve achieved great things. As we look forward the challenges might have changed, but our aims are as innovative and ambitious as they always were. We are a leading research-intensive university with excellence, innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit at the heart of everything we do. Choosing a university is an important decision that will set the path for your future life – from the career you follow to the friends you make. It could well be the biggest decision you’ve faced in your life so far and we’re here to help you get it right – for you. All around campus, you will find answers to the many questions I’m sure you have. Our Student Life Zone in the Indoor Athletics Centre is a great place to start your day with information points for our courses as well showing you our accommodation, support services, sports and social life. You can also take a walking tour of our facilities and accommodation with student guides from here. Meet our academic staff and students, see their work and hear detailed Course Talks on each of our programmes from the academic staff you will learn with. We hope we’ve covered everything, but if you have any questions left unanswered, please do ask one of our staff or students who are here to help you in any way they can. I will be welcoming you to Brunel in a series of morning talks in the Eastern Gateway Building auditorium. I very much look forward to seeing you there, and of course welcoming many of you as Brunel students in the near future. My best wishes for an enjoyable day,

Professor Julia Buckingham, Vice-Chancellor

Brunel students don’t hold back when it comes to giving back to the community. In 2015/16 an amazing 2,592 students completed 21,223 volunteering hours, raising funds for charity, supporting fellow students and getting involved in the community. As a Brunel Volunteer you can take part in a wide range of on- campus and local activities. For example, you might like to get involved in our annual Good Deed Day when students volunteer to perform good deeds in Hillingdon – our local community – to raise funds for the Mayor of Hillingdon’s Charitable Trust. Occupational Therapy student Lucy Hawkes (pictured right) and Holly Chung (English with Creative Writing) were among 80 students who joined forces with charities last year to offer everything from free manicures to lunch, pick up litter and pack bags in local supermarkets. Many students find volunteering an immensely rewarding experience. You’ll meet new friends and gain new skills and experiences, all adding to your future employability. Indeed, 87% of employers think volunteering has a positive effect on career progression and builds confidence and character*. Lucy said: “Brunel Volunteers makes it very easy for you to find a volunteering opportunity. I’ve had a great time on all of my volunteering experiences at Brunel, meeting other students and helping out in the local community.” www.brunelvolunteers.com * Source: Youth Volunteering: Attitudes and Perceptions 2008 by vInspired
