Brunel University is a world-class institution based in Uxbridge, West London. Born just over 40 years ago, it is one of the few campus-based universities in London. One of Brunel’s assets is its close proximity to central London, providing a lively cosmopolitan lifestyle, and within easy reach of Heathrow airport.

Brunel’s graduates enjoy the 13th highest starting salaries out of all the 120 universities in the UK, according to the most recent Sunday Times Good University Guide. Their average salary of £21,672 is almost £3,000 more than the national average.

Brunel has spent £300 million redeveloping the campus, and has invested £35 million for the future. New and refurbished social, teaching and sporting facilities will help ensure that Brunel University remains amongst the best providers of higher education in the region. Already the library has doubled in size, and more first class accommodation is available on campus, ensuring students will have access to high quality facilities. The University is dedicated to providing a world class education for its 14,000 students, including 2,000 international students, from over 100 different countries.

LIBT – Preparing for your future

Direct transfer from LIBT to Brunel University At LIBT we are proud of our association with Brunel University and work closely with the University’s academic schools. This helps to ensure that when you successfully complete the LIBT portion of your studies, you are ready to transfer to Brunel and eventually graduate with a good degree. The results of students that have studied at LIBT before you are a testament to the success of the pathway with approximately 90% passing their course.

Location LIBT is located on the campus of Brunel University which is based in Uxbridge, West London roughly 30 minutes to central London by train, or 50 minutes by underground, to central London. This allows you to have the best of both worlds – the hustle and bustle of London and the countryside with Windsor and Oxford.

Graduate from a world class British University In the latest Government Research Assessment Exercise, 82% of the University's research was rated as being of international standing. What is more, the government awarded a 54.5% increase in Brunel’s Governmental research funding – compared to a national average of just 7.8%. All students benefit from this focus on research. As a result, Brunel graduates are in high demand and continue to hold prestigious positions at companies such as Nokia, Virgin Atlantic and McLaren F1.

Since its launch in 2003, LIBT has earned the reputation of being one of Britain’s leading University

pathway providers, helping students to gain access to university as the first step towards a successful

future. Once you have successfully completed the LIBT part of your studies (if studying the First Year

University Studies and Pre-Masters courses), you will be able to progress onto your chosen second

year or Masters programme at Brunel University.

You will study a University designed programme, taught mainly by Brunel University staff on the

Brunel campus. The courses meet the requirements of the University curricula and therefore

offer a smooth transfer onto your chosen programme of study at Brunel.

Brunel University and LIBT Fast Facts LIBT was established in 2003 and has earned the reputation of being one of • Britain's leading University pathway providers.

Brunel University graduates enjoy the 13th highest starting salaries in the UK – • £3000 more than the national average.*

'I always wanted to study in the UK but was worried that my qualifications from Brazil would not be enough to get me onto the course. My Maths was not that strong so I have taken the extra Maths module and the lecturers have helped to understand the subject better. I don’t think I could have done this if I had gone straight to Brunel.' Maria (Brazil): First Year University Studies in Business and Management leading to BSc (Hons) in International Business

'The programmes at LIBT gave me enough knowledge for Brunel. I wasn’t familiar with some subjects, but my lecturers at LIBT made everything easy to understand.

'I didn’t really know what to expect. When I arrived at LIBT, I had a really good feeling and felt very excited about what I was going to face. It wasn’t difficult meeting people. I made some great friends at LIBT. A lot of us are in classes together at Brunel, so we’re still able to meet up often.'Chioma (Nigeria): First Year University Studies in Economics and Finance leading to BSc (Hons) in Economics and Business Finance

'The reason why I chose the UK to study was because British qualifications are respected and recognised around the world. My first week at LIBT was full of excitement and nervousness where I got to mix with my new class mates. At the beginning of the first term I was very nervous as I did not know what to expect but after a few days I felt comfortable. Studying here prepares you for university life – especially as you are based on campus.'Eren (Turkey): First Year University Studies in Business and Management leading to BSc (Hons) in International Business

We also don’t have to pay for travel as everything we need is on campus – from the cafe and bank to the 2 small supermarkets. If I need anything more, I can just walk to Uxbridge town centre.'Kemepade (Nigeria): First Year University Studies in Business and Management leading to BSc (Hons) in Business and Management

Conditions of enrolmentFees1. All fees, charges and accounts will be

payable in advance as determined by LIBT. Students will not be permitted to commence or continue their programme at the beginning of any semester until all outstanding fees, charges or accounts are paid.

2. Any payments not made by the due date will incur a late payment penalty of £200 and will accrue a further penalty of £50 per week until the full amount owing has been paid.

3. Fees are correct as at the time of printing. LIBT reserves the right to vary its fees at any time.

4. Where a student studies less than or more than a full semester load, the student will pay the current per module fee for each module undertaken. The minimum load in any semester will be 75% of a full-time load unless otherwise approved by LIBT.

5. Should it be necessary for a student to repeat a module, the full amount for that module will be charged.

6. Please note academic programmes are subject to approval.

Conditions1. The student is expected to attend all

classes and undertake all tests and examinations during a programme and abide by all rules and regulations of the College that are in force at any time, see College Policies and Regulations.

2. LIBT may, by written notice, vary conditions of enrolment as necessary to comply with any law, regulation or amendment thereof, of the Government of Great Britain.

3. The Contract between the Applicant and LIBT is governed by the laws of Great Britain.

4. In the event of circumstances requiring urgent medical care where it is not possible to contact the parent/guardian, LIBT is authorised, as a matter of urgency, to seek and provide appropriate medical care.

5. International students must meet the minimum English language proficiency requirement for entry into the course. English proficiency will be tested; if the test reveals that the English language skills are insufficient, the student will be required to include a bridging English module in the first semester of study (free of charge) or enroll in either a mixed programme or an intensive English course prior to the commencement of studies at the discretion of LIBT.

Attendance regulationsThe British system of Higher Education recognises that the ultimate responsibility for a student’s educational achievement lies with the student themselves. Moreover, as the vast majority of students in British Higher Education are over 18 years of age, they are recognised as adults and a considerable amount of freedom is extended to them so that they can regulate their own studies. While LIBT (also known as the College) fully endorses the

idea that students must take responsibility for their own learning, the College does have a minimum 85% Attendance Policy which aims to limit the number of those individuals with consistent non-attendance or poor attendance and ensures that good study routines are established. This policy stipulates that successful progression is based on students maintaining an 85% attendance in all classes, and as such the policy is monitored closely. Students who do not comply will find that they will jeopardize their ability to pass module/s or their programme. LIBT reserves the right to terminate the candidature to an award of any student who has a poor attendance record.

LIBT recognises that there is a direct link between poor attendance and poor academic performance by individuals. The College also holds the view that students who fail to attend classes are in breach of their student visa. The implications of this are that studies may be suspended and the United Kingdom Border Agency (also known as UKBA) will be informed.

All students will be apprised of the Attendance Policy on arrival in compliance with the UKBA regulations.

Refund policyCandidature1. For the purposes of the Refund Policy a

course is defined as one (1) semester of study in any programme of LIBT.

2. If an applicant accepts a place offered by LIBT and pays the tuition fees, it means a binding Contract is created between the student and LIBT.

3. Notification of cancellation/withdrawal from modules, withdrawal/deferral from a programme of study must be made in writing to the College Director/Principal of LIBT, see Deferment of Admission and Deferment from Studies in this document.

4. In the case of cancellation/withdrawal, the cancellation charge will be calculated as:

a) Full refund of deposit (minus any bank charges incurred) if visa application is refused.

b) 50% refund of deposit paid if cancellation is made eight (8) weeks or more before the start date and no visa application has been made.

c) No refund of deposit if cancellation is made less than eight (8) weeks prior to programme commencement or if no cancellation is made and the student fails to enrol by the stipulated deadline.

d) No refund of deposit once visa is issued.

5. Students who have their candidature to an award terminated by LIBT will not be entitled to any refund of fees paid, inclusive of any accommodation deposits, fees, levies or charges. Any fee refunds will be at the discretion of LIBT.

6. LIBT reserves the right not to offer a programme/module previously made available at its own discretion. Where a student is unable to enrol

in a similar programme/module at LIBT and the enrolment is cancelled then the appropriate fees for that programme/module will be refunded.

In the event the student subsequently cancels the deferment and withdraws instead, the date on which LIBT received written notification of the deferment will be considered the date of withdrawal for purposes of the College’s Refund Policy.

High School, Certificate IV, Foundation, Diploma, Bachelor degree or Master degree with a Navitas member institution) and is credited to the eligible student’s tuition fee account each semester (the amount being relevant to the number of units undertaken in that semester). The bursary does not apply to additional units or repeat units that may also be undertaken.
