How long will it take to transfer through Brussels Airport?
I am a citizen of the United Kingdom, I will be travelling back from a year in the USA through Brussels back to England. The flight I am considering buying has an hour layover, will an hour be enough for me to disembark, clear any passport/customs and get to my other flight on time?
Will I have to go through a full security check as well?
I am on one ticket, so I will already be checked in for all my flights.

If your connecting flights happen on the same ticket, you will be guaranteed to arrive at your destination.
A ticket is a contract that says "we will transport you from point A to point B". In such connections, the delay is always calculated to allow you to easily change planes. If the inbound flight happens to be late, the airline will arrange the connection so that you can reach your destination, either by helping you transferring quicker or putting you on a later flight at no charge for you.
A story thet happened to me: I had to transfer at Atlanta coming from Paris. The transatlantic Air France flight was late. By the time we took to clear immigration and customs (the line was long), find our terminal and reach the gate, our connecting plane was already gone! I contacted the Delta Customer Care in the terminal; they promptly rebooked me on the next flight. This case has worked with two different airlines (Air France and Delta) as I had a through ticket.

If you are a self-connecting passenger, i.e. if you have booked two separate flights yourself with a layover at Brussels Airport, and one of the flights is a non-EU flight, you will have to pass border control once you've arrived in Belgium.How long does self transfer take at airport?
The time between connecting flights can be pretty short \u2013 as little as 40 minutes for some airports. The airline is aware of your connection and will sometimes tell you which gate you need for your next flight.How long does it take to get through security at Brussels Airport?

1. Re: Is a one hour layover enough? Normally yes, as long as this would be a single ticket (Budapest -Tel Aviv via BRU) with luggage checked all the way to Tel Aviv, as the "legal connection time" at BRU is 50 mins even when changing Piers (A to B) as in your case.Transferring from Gates A to Gates B at Brussels Airport

Answer 2
An hour should be enough to make the transfer, even if you'll have to go from one terminal to another. Which airline are you travelling with?
You'll have to pass security check/border control again depending on where you'll land (depends on your airline as well)
