DO NOT STUDY GRAPHIC DESIGN HERE!!!! The rest of the uni campus might look nice and modern but we're stuck the other side of the road with no facilities - not even a water fountain!
The course is a complete sham - there is no organisation, a lack of communication and a complete lack of actual helpful tutorials.
I am in third year and it has been like this the whole way through, I complained through official channels in the first year and it hasn't helped at all - do yourself a favour and choose another uni!

ABSOLUTE SHAM - DO NOT STUDY GRAPHIC DESIGN HERE!
There is a complete lack of communication, we've had deadlines changed with no notice, can't get hold of tutors and when you do they say they'll get back to you and they never do.
As for course content, it's just as bad - nothing helpful, not even anything inspiring. I'm third year and all we seem to do are collages! It is a complete waste of time.
Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else to study!
I think Oxford Brookes is located at probably the best student city in the world and still accomplishes to be and look modern and innovative. The 24/7 open campus library also benefits us a lot.
I think the best aspect is the accessibility to a wide range of sources the university allows us, I can come and study in the forum or library whenever I want and reach the resources I need easily. The only downside is that sometimes the forum gets a bit chilly but I guess that’s something we need to get used to during the covid-19.

I’m very satisfied with my course and my lecturers especially the fact that I can access the course material and whatever that was covered during the lecture on our online portal and study how I like freely.
The location is perfect and there are many areas to study.
What I don’t like is that sometimes classes have been changed to online. As I am an international student, I pay a big amount of money and I would prefer when classes are not online

I prefer in class learning because is more interactive and I learn more
Lovely location and great place to study. Supportive lectures and uni as a whole.
The main campus has a good feel to it. There are many different places to study, which gives you lots of different opportunities to study.
I feel as if there would be more ways to get involved with the student union/more promotion of societies.
I feel as if there would be a bit more student support aswell.
