Motorsport Engineering - MEng (Hons)

University rating (4)

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.

Events Management

University rating (4)

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.

The university priorities are strongly linked to commercial profit making over the quality of student experience.

Business and Marketing Management - BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

I am a first-year student at Oxford Brookes University, and I'm quite enjoying my experience so far. I've rated the campus as 5 stars for its looking and feel. As my classes are primarily held at the Business School building and the main Headington campus, I can't speak to the other campuses' qualities since I haven't visited them. The main campus is located a 45-minute walk from the city centre, which may be a downside for some. However, you can apply for free bus passes that allow students to get to the city centre within a 15-minute bus ride (sometimes 30-35 minutes if you’re stuck in a traffic jam). Regarding student life, the university offers a big variety of societies, making it really easy to meet new people and make friends. During my first semester, I thoroughly enjoyed attending social events organized by the societies I joined. The university provides a diverse range of sports activities which students can do and even try for the first time which I found as a good opportunity to explore new interests. Also, the teachers at Brookes were very supportive and approachable throughout my semester. Overall, I'm enjoying my time at Brookes, but since it's only my first year, I hesitate to make a definitive judgment.

Real Estate

University rating (4)

There are good quiet places to study in and the seminar rooms have a nice layout which make it good for open conversation. Having to take the bus can be a pain as they are very unreliable and often make me late as they simply don't turn up. The student union provides good and inclusive activities for all.

Sport and Exercise Science

University rating (5)

The facilities are very useful, I always find what I need in order to complete my work. Any problem I have raised with student support, they have been very helpful and sorted my issue quickly. There is a wide range of societies to be apart of so there is really something for everyone. The competitive sports teams provide an exciting experience when watching from the sidelines whilst enjoying drink and food from the sports bar. In order to improve my uni experience at university, more on site accommodation options would have been useful. I had to commute from Parade Green which deterred me from attending all of my lectures. The options of Cheney on campus was too expensive as the contract included renting for summer as well. Finally, I have found it hard to fit into a friend group within my course although I have plenty of friends outside of my course from the uni.

It is a very diverse place which is good, but there should be more funding opportunities for students from abroad.
