Alumni benefits

Your alumni card allows you to verify your alumni status to apply for various benefits on campus, such as alumni library membership, discounted rates at the Brunel gym and on language courses, plus access to non-ticketed evenings / events in Loco's and The Venue in the Students' Union (when accompanied by photo ID as requested).

Cards are FREE for all Brunel alumni - to claim yours, please fill out this form and we will post one out to you.

Please note: The alumni card is for alumni status verification only and a specific membership will be required for both library and gym memberships - please see the links in the text above for details of how to apply for library or gym memberships for alumni. We're afraid that alumni cards alone do not provide access to these areas.

If you are conducting research into these institutions or tracing your family history, please email the Alumni Team and we will help to arrange access for you.

Tap into your creative side with one of the University's weekly, weekend or summer courses in music and the arts, including painting, photography, pottery and creative writing, to name a few.

We’re pleased to let you know that both the CIM Diploma and Certificate have been set at a preferential rate for our alumni and current students, and are highly subsidised by the Brunel Business School.
