Oxford Brookes is situated 60 miles from London in the beautiful city of Oxford. As one of the world’s great student cities, Oxford is a great place to live and study as it is big enough to offer something for people of all interests, yet small enough to feel welcoming and accessible.
Oxford is famous for its architecture, rowing, punting and scenic riverside walks. With its world renowned cultural heritage, Oxford is filled with theatres, live music venues, museums and art galleries. The city is also bursting with restaurants, cafés, bars, cinemas and shops.
And if you want to visit London it’s only one hour away by train and there are also cheap, frequent buses to and from the capital, and Heathrow and Gatwick airports, which run 24 hours a day.
At Brookes we do everything we can to help you settle in to life in the UK. If you need to improve your English and academic skills we have plenty of courses to help with you you prepare for university study.

During your degree course there is free English language support available, and our Upgrade team will provide free advice on study skills such as planning and writing essays, assignments and dissertations, research, or preparing for an exam.
Our International Student’s Advisory Service (ISAS) can help with a range of issues including visas, employment and other financial matters. The team also organises an extensive welcome programme as well as numerous social events to help you adjust to living in the UK.
International students are also given priority in one of our seven halls of residence for their first year. Living in halls is a great way of meeting other students and making new friends, as you will find yourself alongside people from all over the world. Each hall is different but all bedrooms have internet access and all halls have wardens and security guards to ensure you are safe both night and day.
To help our international students with the cost of studying abroad, Oxford Brookes offers a range of scholarships for foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic excellence and are paid towards the cost of your tuition fees.
