Oxford Brookes University (reviews)

I completed my Bsc in finance & accounting along with my ACCA with this university. The research paper I had to complete was challenging and the mentor provided great assistance. The university as a whole is a great learning experience for students with amazing faculty and tutors.

As a student at Oxford Brookes University, I have enjoyed my experience. Through the course, I’ve made some fantastic friends. The facilities are very new and recently refurbished. The university is among the top 50 young universities and has people from all over the globe. I went to business school which gives good exposure to the marketing background. Overall, I had an amazing year and great learning.

I recently graduated from Oxford Brookes University after studying history for three years at the Headington Campus. Overall the uni provided an excellent educational experience, as teaching varied from academic to practical styles, with both weekly lecturers and seminars. For History in particular the range of module available to select made it easy to cater your studies around topics you have a particular interest in. Also, the uni has an extensive range of materials and resources that are accessible both online and at the campus library, which was open 24/7.
The student life at Oxford Brookes was so much fun. There are numerous different sports on offer for students to play and different society groups, all which mix and host social events each week. The only negative I found was that unlike other unis, the Brookes student union was not really the centre of the social and nightlife scene, as the union bar was rarely that busy. However, as the city is so close to the campus (around a 20 min walk, 10 on the bus) there is a plethora of pubs and bars and a few nightclubs to suit all. I would definitely recommend this uni to any prospective student!

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.
