440 reviews for Oxford Brookes University

Location is very odd as it is not in city centre or Cowley which are the two biggest areas in Oxford. The university itself is very modern and clean

Some of the seminar leaders added significant value to the learning experience and went to the extra mile to make the content interesting and understandable, and also to provide extensive support to ensure students understood everything (Christina Wilson, Carrie Hurter). However, some other seminar leaders failed to provide any support - such as my Academic Advisor - and this hindered my ability to grow and advance. Additionally, as I commute from home, there were limited opportunities to make friends and socialise with others as there weren’t many societies that weren’t based on sport or culture. More variety of societies would be nice. The campus is accessible by bus which is good - the location is efficient.

The university is really nice and modern, with a gorgeous library and excellent facilities. However, accommodation is generally not brilliant as it is quite outdated and doesn't have a particularly nice feeling to it. The student union is quite poor and I've found it unsupportive and opportunities surrounding the union aren't great . The only way to really have a proper social life is through sport here.

My lectures are on a satellite campus and I’m a commuter student so I don’t really feel involved with student life.

Great uni

Dreamed about it and love it

gggggg

God

The main campus of the University - Headington Campus - is a lovely new build design, with a fantastic library. And the sports/ social area is really good. HOWEVER, if you are a social work student, this is NOT the campus you will be attending (but on an open day and induction they will tell you that you are). No, instead you will be taking classes over at the Marston Road campus - an old, cold, empty building with 1 cafe, no library, and lots of classrooms that are often too small or too cold. There are no nearby shops and the main campus is at least a 20 minute walk away. Plus, of course like all of Oxford - NO PARKING WHATSOEVER (unless you can find a friendly neighbour to pay £10 a day to!) The bus system to get to this campus is an absolute nightmare as well. ... google how to get a bus to Faculty of Health and Life Sciences Marston Road and you will see. The classes typically are in 1 room for the whole day, which can be great I guess, but how dreary to stay in the same room for the whole day! Most of the teaching team is pretty great and helpful, HOWEVER, the management/student support services are terrible. I get the impression that the university cares more about students just getting on with things quietly and not raising any issues, because when a student does raise an issue they are practically (politely) told to shut up, don't worry about it, get on with it.

I don’t have nothing to say about that,because,this is amazing place,kindly and there are so many good people
