Your pathway to Brunel

We have specially-designed courses to prepare students for entry to Brunel. Nearly 4,500 students who have completed a pathway programme at Brunel Pathway College – our on-campus pathway provider – have progressed onto graduating with a full undergraduate or postgraduate degree from Brunel.

Our courses

Our courses are of particular benefit to students who are unable to meet the direct entry criteria or level of English required for entry to the degree programmes.

We offer the following pathways into 70% of our undergraduate degree programmes:

• Accountancy

• Business and Management

• Business Computing/Computer Science

• Design

• Economics and Finance

• Engineering

• Humanities, Social Sciences and Education

• Law

• Life Sciences

• Sports Science

All of our undergraduate pathway courses include an optional work placement year. We also have multiple intakes throughout the year, in September, January and May, giving you more flexibility over when to start your studies. brunel.ac.uk/bpc

Foundation Stage

Foundation Stage is for students who do not quite meet Brunel’s direct entry criteria. It’ll help you understand what is expected from you at university and prepare you for your chosen degree.

International Year 1 Stage

This covers the first-year curriculum of a Brunel degree in smaller class sizes and with extra academic contact hours. This will enable you to fully develop your knowledge and understanding of each module.

The extra support provided by Brunel Pathway College (BPC) will help you to successfully bridge the gap between your previous studies and Brunel. Whilst studying at the BPC, you’ll have access to the same University facilities and services as every other student on campus.
