From the Head of the Brunel Design School

Hua_Dong In the spirit of our namesake Isambard Kingdom Brunel, one of Britain’s most creative designers and engineers, the Brunel Design School strives to put innovation and entrepreneurship at the heart of everything we do. Sustainability, human-centred design, enabling technology, and business & strategy define our core research and teaching foci.

Our students are involved in Made in Brunel throughout their time at Brunel and the finale is their graduate showcase held in central London.

“MiB has always had a large role in showcasing the talent of Brunel, as well as the best up and coming designers, and certainly had a large role in inspiring me to study design.” “I’ve learned so much and been challenged so hard, I have come out the other end a different person.”

I look forward to you joining us and hope you will have the same feeling upon graduation.

Professor Hua Dong

I’m happy that I was brave enough to take a chance to create a platform where I can turn an idea into reality – I’d encourage any other brave souls out there with an idea to take the leap too.
