Brunel Science Park offers the opportunity to work alongside one of the UK ’ s best technology universities
Brunel Science Park
Brunel Science Park is funded solely by Brunel University . It had been the intention of the University to set up a Science Park since the University obtained its Charter in 1966 . The Science Park eventually opened in 1982 and became the first Universitybased Science Park in the UK . The Park ’ s objective is to foster collaboration with industry wherever possible , and the University is mainly interested in tenants where future collaboration can be foreseen . The Science Park is situated on approximately three acres on the University Campus in Uxbridge , West London , just 15 miles from the centre of London , 4 miles from Heathrow Airport , and an excellent location for all major road links as the campus is within a 4 mile radius of the M4 , M40 , and M25 motorways .
Location Kingston Lane Uxbridge , Middlesex UB8 3PQ
