Great facilities, lots of study space - both for groups and individual study. Nice variety of coffee/food outlets. Great to have a GP and Dentist on site, as well as the new Co-op

Lecturers and courses are great, however the University management is not committed to academia, but to money. I’ve seen appalling attitudes from the management treating students with contempt, ignoring their legitimate concerns over management negligence and breach of duty of care and equality. Also the university’s own procedures for complaints and giving students priority access to facilities shared with staff and public were not followed. Avoid if you can.

I can't speak on the other courses, but if you're considering taking Japanese studies here, don't. You will be much better off studying by yourself, taking private lessons (which you will get much more out of for a lot less than tuition fees, or choose a different university. You will waste your time here doing pointless work that adds to your stress and does not develop your language skills. Seriously, even if it's the only university that will accept you, don't waste your time & money here. Facilities: The main campus is just OK because they have a good library. Aside from that, expect to pay insane prices for any food, drinks, rent etc. The student accomodation is extremely overpriced and lacking. Even for Oxford. Basically, think quantity over quality. Shove as many students in as possible and charge as much as possible. The only cheap option (Harcourt hill) isn't fit to live in, students are constantly breaking rules with no consequences during the pandemic. Ran out of chars.

Go elsewhere if you can. There are some real issues with Brookes that aren't being addressed at all. Students bullied for complaining about abusive staff members, staff mis advising students, confrontational aggressive facilities staff in halls etc..

Disorganised shambles. Students are totally ignoring coronavirus rules. I have a weakened immune system so am being put at risk. Why were at risk people not identified and put separately to everyone else? Brookes seems to have a completely unrealistic idea of the degree to which they can control everyone's behaviour. Rather than accept that they can't stop students meeting off campus, and housing vulnerable students in isolation, they prefer to throw tantrums and make threats, which are being ignored en masse. When I complain and ask to be moved I'm told that my flat mates are breaking the rules and that i should report them. Great, then I can be both at risk and hated by everyone in the flat.

The new building at the Headington campus is nice. Lots of computers and a good library. However the other two campuses are awful. One is just grey concrete and the other used to be a religious teaching school is like a maze dotted with religious statues. It doesn't feel like a university. There are no corridors and classrooms are accessed directly from outside. So in spite of the one nice building overall the facilities are very poor. The teaching quality is very mixed. Some courses have great reputations and the students seem happy. Students on others all seem to be very unhappy about blatantly unfair treatment and bad attitudes from staff, amongst other things. It's probably better to avoid Oxford Brookes unless you're very sure that the course is good. Oh and don't judge things by the National Student Survey. Brookes have set their Email system to treat nominations from the NSS as spam, so students never see them. The tutors then selectivity ask students to fill it in.

A lot of the comments here are unfair. There are a lot of good staff at Oxford Brookes. People here are focusing on the negatives. It's widely known that certain staff members and constantly the subject of complaints. It takes a LOT before problem staff members are dealt with. This needs addressing because it is damaging both to students and to the university as a whole. It is unfair for the reputations of a few well known bad apples to taint the reputations of the many great staff at Oxford Brookes.

I am a postgraduate student at Brookes - Headington Campus and comparing my experience there with my experience as an undergraduate at a different university, my views are following: Amazing, friendly and helpful staff, very hands-on learning, beautiful & spacious campus with plenty of amenities (cafes, bars, Brookes-made takeaways and sandwiches, sport facilities, great library, IT support, IT equipment, etc.). Very helpful Careers Centre and Student Central. Wast range of clubs and societies. Student Union is okay, however in comparison to other services and options Brookes offers, sometimes takes rather long to respond or does not get quite to the bottom of the problem. Generally, my experience at Brookes has been great so far and coming to study there has been one of the best decisions of my life!

I was enrolled at MSc Quantity surveying online degree. I started my program 2 weeks late as they had some IT issues, couldn't catch up with my studies. I had questions posted on the student forum, the professor replied after 4 weeks after I complained to my student advisor. They just take your money and offer 0 support. I had to quit after 4 months. I strongly recommend avoiding Oxford Brookes.

Brooke's was okay. I enjoyed my course, facilities are good apart from limited space. Food is overpriced on campus, but what can we expect. Union doesn't really do much, societies are not good. Eduroam is actually slow, you would be lucky to have a good connection. BME students make up a small percentage of the university so if you are like I was, just be prepared for it.

The wifi is pretty useless, always cutting out. Societies are more concerned in popularity and horrible initiations than anything else. The campus facilities are pretty great but the campus is over crowded and there is very little space to study when you have deadlines. Not a lot of people know the student union exist, they should hold more events that engage students. Careers are good but a waves team would be so much better received by first and second year students to be more informed about placements.

The student union is close to non existent with food and drinks costing the same as a non student bars/restaurants. That being said there is a great variety of food on campus albeit at an unreasonable price. Fantastic careers service and a good nightlife but be prepared to pay no less than £5 for student entry. Internet and wifi in the library cannot cope with the huge number of students at peak times.

Really enjoying my first year, Brookes only gets the slack it does because it’s overshadowed by the uni of... in any other city it would be seen as a class uni

Incredible teaching and staff. University is lacking somewhat in quality sports facilities. Big downside is the move of exams to the King’s Centre which is at the other end of the city.

I love the business school, in which I am a student. The projects we take part in and lectures are extremely helpful in expanding my leaning experience and skills. The lecturers are also extremely knowledgeable and happy to help. So many opportunities available!

If you’re studying on the Headington Campus (the brand new main one) you’re in for the best 3 years. It’s got everything you could possibly need from a uni plus it’s super fun. And if you’re doing anything to do with a built environment degree (eg architecture, real estate) then its a pretty great place to be taught.

Most of the buildings are new and very pleasant to work in. There needs to be more areas to work in as during semester it can be hard to find anywhere to work as it's full.

I really good modern university with caring, helpful staff. On the whole teaching is robust with regular feedback given to students. However, the student union could be a lot better, and more assistant in a variety of ways could be provided for students regarding finance, as Oxford is a very expensive city to live in, and as well, the facilities provided by the university are very expensive.

All the university cares about is money. Student wellbeing is poorly looked after. Student suicides covered up. Wardens on campus should not be students. Communication is lacking throughout both academically and through campus life.

Unite students are not good at all. They act illegally and are extremely rude. I understand that Brookes works in partnership with Unite Students. I urge the university to end this partnership.
