Worth it

(5)·By Azra K·Law· Jun 2024
I’m a first-year student at Oxford Brookes University, studying law, and I can confidently say that it was a challenging experience at the beginning. However, the course is not as difficult as everyone thinks. If you pay attention, you will definitely grow to love it. My module leaders and student support coordinator are great people, very helpful and understanding. They helped me a lot with adjusting to university and a new city. The social side of Oxford is also great, with lots of places to visit, lots of people to meet, and overall good vibes. Overall, my experience is very positive, despite the struggles that every student faces at the beginning of this new journey.

Oxford brookes

(5)·By Lucy J·Education / Teacher Training· Jun 2023
Great facilities and really friendly staff. This uni always seemed very personable and helpful for the future. Lots of opportunities to learn different ways of teaching. Clean accommodation with good facilities. One of the major wins is the car parking and bus pass, both are cheap and out this uni in front of many others!

Very unique university

(5)·By Princess N·Law· Jun 2023
Astrophoria Foundation Year, a new project from Oxford University, gives you the chance to study particular courses whether you've been disadvantaged in school or for other reasons related to your personal life. I think it's fantastic for students who have never had the chance to advance in their lives.

Oxford Brookes wasn't my forst choice but after I ended up here I'm so glad I did. Oxford is a beautiful city to be in to begin with, my flatmates and course mates are absolutely amazing people. I don't have a bad experience so far. Night life is pretty good and the Headington Campus is absolutely amazing. Such a modern and vibrant place, motivates me to study. I love my course and I do think nearly everything I'm being taught is beneficial.

Oxford Brookes

(5)·By Skye G·Social Work· Jun 2023
Overall a good University with good facilities. Lecturers, academic advisors and student support and all great in supporting students when they have struggles or need extra help if they have missed work due to medical/ emotional reasons. I would recommend Oxford Brookes

Business Studies / Management, Graduate

(5)·By Amy R·Business· Jul 2021
So fun. So much mixing with other students. Also included interactive lectures which were great for meeting new people. Amazing! Cheney was brilliant. Library was brilliant - so much material and so much space. Communal working spaces as well as individual study booths - there was always someone around to ask for information too. Outstanding. A lot of team work made the uni experience so fun. It was great to meet the people I did through the lectures and seminars. I always had a tutor I could speak to too about my work. I could also catch up on my lecture material if I ever needed to by having access to the material online. So much fun. So many places to eat and drink and explore. Oxford has it all really with beautiful building full of history as well as local places to grab a bite to eat and then a variety of bars to have drinks with friends. It was brilliant.

Marketing, Year 2

(5)·By Ella R·Marketing· Jul 2021
Freshers week was exciting and engaging, meeting new people who have the same outlook on their future as me. Making friends for life and understanding the course ahead was so interesting. Oxford brookes accommodation was amazing, in terms of the quality of the accommodation, it wasn't too bad. But the people you meet is an unreal experience, and no words can explain that feeling. I can't express enough how incredible the facilities are. The library is beautiful. The sports areas are amazing, I play rugby and the rugby grounds and gym that Oxford brookes provide is phenomenal. The course is so engaging and pushes me to enhance my knowledge and understanding the marketing world. Oxford city life is unreal. The shopping centre is very addictive. The cultural and historical side of Oxford is breathtaking.

Law / Legal Studies, Year 3

(5)·By Jeremy B·Law· Jul 2021
It was great for me, I had a brilliant location halls. The fairs were very informative of things to do at uni. The nightlife wristband made it easy to know what was happening in each night Brilliant and clean housing, I was very happy with the location and promptness from staff if needed Amazing facilities for everything I need. Sports areas are easy to book I enjoyed my lectures because the lecturers had lots of knowledge in the industry and could give us insights City life was great, great access to the centre of Oxford via buses, walkability was great as it isn't far and the west gate centre made the centre brilliant for shopping.

Very busy and full of lectures. Lots of information as well as a packed freshers fair and events There is a wide range of accommodation which you can choose for first year. I was in Cheney which was one of the Uni owned halls which had flats of six ensuites sharing one big kitchen- so fun! There is a massive library which is full of books. Lots of student areas, sports bars. Sports and societies are the highlight In depth lectures and course information. Seminars combined with lectures and independent work is very good Oxford is absolutely gorgeous and albeit expensive there is something for everyone. Lots of bars, clubs pubs and shops.
