I couldn’t have found a more exciting and stimulating music department for my undergraduate studies! Every member of the faculty sits at the forefront of their practice, whilst also having incredible insights into the vast musical ocean of the last century. I discovered so many new areas of music thanks to Brunel, and would recommend the department to anyone serious about pursuing a life in music. Be prepared to open your ears and have them scrubbed clean!

I came to Brunel as a classical violinist. I left Brunel as a sound artist, performer, composer, improviser and textile electronics designer. My whole perspective changed in a really positive way. I resisted the change in perspective when I arrived at Brunel, but if you resist… it will persist! Be open and enjoy!
