What students say about theoretical-history

I found Oxford Brookes University a great opportunity to study interesting modules, having simultaneously the possibility to do interesting activities such as field trips in Oxford and London. I have free a lot of free time that allows me to do what I love the most, sport. I would prefer if Brookes University offered us more opportunities of Exchange Study Abroad and more field trips around UK.

What students say about theoretical-history

The teachers, so far that I have had, have been so wonderful. I started the first term really worried, feeling a bit lonely and emotional but I felt really inspired and motivated by them. I also think the overall values of the university are so good - it gives opportunities and a voice to all and I’m honestly proud to say that I study there. The thing, however I would improve on is communication. Sometimes it’s hard to get in touch with students services and get responses from them or queries raised. I also find personal tutors aren’t really that supportive.

Great buildings and location with great transport links to major cities. Being taught by people who are the best in that field and being able to contribute to their research at an early time in your studies. The tutorial system with very few people in classes making learning much more interactive.

What students say about theoretical-history

The campus is absolutely beautiful, with lovely green spaces and impressive buildings that really create a great atmosphere for studying and hanging out with friends. The facilities are great, too. Plus, the student life here is vibrant, with tons of clubs and events that make it easy to meet people and get involved. However, there are some challenges. Financial support for students from working-class backgrounds can be quite limited, which can lead to stress and make it harder to fully participate in everything the university has to offer. Living in Exeter can also be pricey, with high rents and general costs adding to the financial burden. Overall, it’s a mixed bag, but I’ve definitely enjoyed my time at Exeter!
