Clyde Borg, 

Engineering Operations Management MSc Online

I looked around online and wanted a course just like Brunel’s. It is part-time so alongside my job, I studied mainly in the evenings and on weekends. It is nice because you can balance your studies. I could go on gaining traditional work experience while also gaining another qualification.  

James Pailing, 

Engineering Operations Management MSc Online

The skills that I've benefitted from have indirectly helped me get the position that I'm currently in. I've gone from being a manufacturer to an electrical lead with 60 people on my team. So it has already helped me progress in my job role.
