Oxford Brookes University (reviews)

I love the fact that my course is engaging because this is an effective way to remember and understand the lessons. Lectures are very helpful and have times in days to meet up personally to discuss topics or ask questions. Oxford Brookes has a multicultural environment which gives an opportunity to meet people from all over the world. The best part is, that Oxford is a nice and safe city to study in and I really love it here.

I enjoy studying Economics, Politics, and International Relations BA at Oxford Brookes University. Professors help us, we feel heard and supported and we do never really feel overwhelmed by the work we have to do. However, that is the problem: we only study 12 hours at Uni while paying £15000 (international student) and we only get one per semester for each module which gives us only one opportunity to pass.

The university was really good to start with but after covid it began to fall apart and felt a little bit unorganised. Some of the teaching staff felt as if they didn’t want to teach you or Answer your questions.

Took combined art history and another course, both of which were fine but the timetable clashes meant a limited range of module choices. Overall was alright, lecturers were engaging and thorough. The programme was excellent but the university itself not so much– allowed transphobic speaker to visit on at least one occasion

I’ve loved my time at Oxford Brookes- the teaching quality has been great and I feel I’ve been fully supported during the course of my degree. To improve, I’d probably like to be made aware of more career opportunities, maybe through emails etc or through the website but I thought it was great overall. Good facilities and really enjoyed my time here so far. Made some great friends and the city is really good for student life. Good clubs/sports. Would definitely recommend it.

It’s a well rounded program with ample opportunities to learn and develop your CV. The faculty is helpful and tremendously experienced in their fields which exposes the students to a high standard studying environment.

Oxford Brookes University is a good university if you are considering architecture. Multiple courses are available which specialize in architecture. My course is MArchD which is a RIBA part 2 programme. This university stands out from the others as they allow you to choose your specialization for year one from six different options you won’t find in any other university. This gives you the benefit to complete your part 2 with an additional specialization in the field. As we can expect in any architectural school, the teaching and amenities are relatively good. There are various societies one can participate in if you want international exposure. The course is well structured, but there were a few shortcomings, primarily due to the pandemic restrictions. I would recommend this university if you want to balance various experiences in your student life. But if learning is the only goal, you need to be focused as few distractions are in the way.

The course is extremely engaging, through an amalgamation of practical and theoretical practices. The seasoned lecturers offer real-life, advice and solutions to design problems; this sharing of knowledge and creativity helps boost one’s own designs, as well as those around you.

The sports science course is the perfect course for me. I’m an active guy with the ambition to be a personal fitness trainer. This course will set me up for this career path with a combination of psychology, biology and the overall impact and benefits sports has on us. The lecturers are engaging and inspiring. The nightlife here in Oxford is great. They are endless societies and opportunities to socialise and meet new people. I highly recommend both the course and the city.

I like the modern feel to the uni as well as the many study areas. The module leaders are friendly and provide a lot of content within the lectures. I would recommend Brookes to other students. This course has many potential job and opportunity pathways.
