Oxford Brookes University

Oxford Brookes University provides great facilities to the students, especially the library. The university has four campuses, each campus will depend on your subject. They have a newly refurbished business centre which provides natural lighting and is perfect to study there. They have a variety of restaurants where students and staff members can have lunch or even breakfast. Additionally, the university provides multiple societies and sports teams for the students.

I’d recommend oxford Brookes university because it strikes the perfect balance between academia and extracurricular (hobbies) activities. There I was academically stimulated in an environment where I felt I can have a different opinion and argue my case and no one would judge me. I also had tutors, who took personal interest and supported my academic development and interests as well as my dissertation topic. It was also the place where I had time to be on the volleyball team and do the tango and hang out with some amazing people who I met through my studies. The campus is really well developed and modern with a new library and with student accommodation close by. The environment is very multicultural ?

Oxford Brookes provides you with the most important type of education, experiential education.The University provides you with over 50 courses to choose from and gives you ample flexibility. Oxford Brookes can pride itself on its diversity and inclusivity when it comes to ethnicity, race and gender. Starting in my first year, I got to work in a kitchen, a restaurant, learnt about different wines, and also was provided knowledge regarding various successful marketing and HR techniques. In my second year/placement year, I worked at St James’s Court (A Taj Hotel), London. I believe that this experience helped change me as a person. I had more knowledge about the industry, I became more confident and my perspective on life changed. It is so important to be given the chance to work for a year in order to actually understand your area of expertise. It allowed me to get on with my career as soon as I graduated and put me ahead of the rest of the other candidates. In my third year, I learned a lot about finance and tourism. This is another great thing about the University, they teach you beyond your course, helping you gain skills that will be useful in every type of career or walk of life. In my fourth year I got a chance to organise and plan an event of my own. Here, I got to use all my skills that I learnt throughout my University life in a real-life setting. As far as the town goes, it is extremely close to London, allowing me to visit the rest of my friends often. Oxford has a wide range when it comes to shopping and restaurants. It is a quaint, historical town with its own charm.

Overall it is a good university with good links in the real world only if you find them out and take advantage of them. I was one of the lucky students that seized anything this university could give me. Really good lecturers with amazing lab experiences. I would suggest this university, but do not forget to seize anything that it can give you.

This university provides unlimited learning resources to its students, eg. a 24/7 library, online access to resources for alumni, entrepreneurial support to its students, recent graduates and staff, and career opportunities after graduation. The learning was an engaging experience between the students and the professors. This encouraged self-initiative in learning. the modules are practical in the real world, with field trips and on site learning.

I loved studying at Oxford Brookes. I fell in love with the city - the cafes, coffee shops, restaurants, bars and clubs. There was so much to do in my own time. Furthermore, the university was fabulous in terms of hosting meet and greet events and there were a lot of societies to choose from. There was also a brilliant sports centre with a sports bar. sports cafe, gym, astroturfs and indoor hall. This tended to be a sort of hub of the university. The university also provided for a variety of cafes and coffee shops on campus with a large range of food options. There is also an on-site shop which was handy for any essentials.

This university is very well equipped, it has computers available for the students at different locations in the university. The staff is really nice, approachable and helpful. All classes have learning and modern environment. There are many cafes and restaurants around the university and a bar, which is very nice to disconnect for a bit. The most that I enjoy about this university is the fact that it has many international students and you can meet people literally from anywhere. The university is easily accessible and provides 2 buses completely free for the students and discounts in any other buses, including the ones with a route to London.
