“I think the best thing about exchanges is that you can meet new people, make new friends, and experience a different way of studying.”

Maria Prusicki, exchange student from Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy

“My exchange was a really nice experience. I wish I could have stayed longer but it’s only a year. It’s a really good university and it’s beautiful.”

Cyrielle Chokron, exchange student from Université de Provence, France

“You can access a very well equipped online journal collection at Oxford Brookes University. I also got the chance to use the Bodleian Library. It is nice to work there, because it is a historical building.”

Simon Schmitz, exchange student from Universität Trier, Germany

The city centre

Oxford’s beautiful High Street, and surrounding area, is graced with majestic, historic buildings. These include internationally renowned museums and art galleries, such as the Ashmolean, and theatres such as the Oxford Playhouse, offering a rich cultural experience. There is also Modern Art Oxford, a fantastic place to see contemporary art, including exhibitions of Brookes students’ work. A day out in Oxford can offer a great shopping experience with a mix of the usual chain stores and quirky independent shops, many of which are in the much-loved Covered Market which dates back to 1774.

At night the centre becomes alive with traditional English pubs, elegant bars and lively nightclubs buzzing with life. One of the most famous pubs is The Eagle and Child where JRR Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit met with fellow writers to share ideas.

The Cowley Road

The multicultural Cowley Road is busy, colourful and lined with cafés, restaurants and shops selling food from around the world. The independent Ultimate Picture Palace cinema and popular music venue, the O2 Academy, as well as pubs with music gigs, offer plenty of evening entertainment. Just a short walk from the city centre over Magdalen Bridge, and also close to the University’s Headington Campus, many Brookes students choose to live in this lively area.

Oxford Brookes students can benefit from access to the great academic traditions and resources in Oxford, including the world famous Bodleian Library.

Oxford: a great place to be a student With 40,000 students from all over the world living in Oxford, you are guaranteed vibrant social and educational experiences.

A breath of fresh air

Oxford is a city of parks, rivers and canals, offering a tranquil retreat from the crowds and space to think and relax in peace. South Park, next to the Headington Campus is a spacious, grassy park on a hillside, with ancient oak trees and great views of Oxford’s cityscape and the surrounding countryside. Other more formal parks include the Botanical Gardens and Florence Park. The river can be enjoyed either by walking along the banks, or by a riding in a punt, one of the traditional local boats. There are also beautiful historic buildings just outside the city, including the world-famous Blenheim Palace.

Alternatively you can enjoy the surrounding Cotswolds’ countryside. This is a beautiful area of small towns and villages, thought to be ‘typically English.’

Getting around the UK

Our own Brookes Bus network links our campuses, halls of residence, and the city centre, the Cowley Road and the railway station. All exchange and study abroad students living in halls of residence receive a free bus pass. We also have a safety bus for returning home late at night, which runs to all halls of residence and anywhere within central Oxford.

Direct coach services run between Oxford and London every 10-15 minutes in the daytime and every hour during the night. The journey takes 70-100 minutes depending on traffic. These services drop you outside our Headington Campus as well as in Oxford city centre.

An airline coach service runs between Oxford and London Heathrow every 30 minutes. The journey takes 90 minutes.

There is also a direct bus service to Gatwick and Stansted airports.

Oxford has good rail links to a number of major destinations including Birmingham and Bristol.

Travel to Europe

The Eurostar train travels through the Channel Tunnel to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam. There are flights from Birmingham and London airports to cities all over Europe.

“I love being in Oxford and hanging around all the parks and going to the Botanical Gardens.”

Amélie Ville, exchange student from Université de Grenoble, France

If you want distinctive high-quality teaching, and an excellent educational experience, you will find it at Brookes.

Study Abroad and Exchange at Oxford Brookes: learning and teaching for the 21st century

Building for the future

The University is dedicated to ensuring our teaching is at the leading edge. This is reflected in our investment in a new teaching and learning space, the John Henry Brookes Building – part of our on-going redevelopment plan which will benefit all of our campuses.

The new John Henry Brookes Building includes library, teaching, support and social spaces, and opens on our Headington Campus in late 2013.

Designed for you

Our new study spaces have been designed for flexibility and choice to suit the way you work best – whether through lectures, discussions, quiet study or heated debate. Students have been involved in developing the new buildings through various focus groups including the Student Redevelopment Group.

The way we teach

Teaching is offered through a wide range of methods combining the best of both traditional and progressive styles:

Lectures are for large groups of students, often in formal lecture theatres, where you will receive a presentation on a specific subject.

Seminars are in smaller groups and allow greater interaction between teachers and fellow students.

Tutorials are informal sessions, often one-to-one, in a tutor’s office.

Practicals apply to science, technological and vocational subjects.

Brookes virtual is our online learning environment with the latest teaching technologies such as wikis, discussion boards, blogs and podcasts to complement your seminars and lectures.

382 students at Oxford Brookes on study abroad and exchange programmes in 2012/13.

Academic workload

Oxford Brookes’ courses are broken down into equal-sized units of study called modules. Each module consists of 150 hours of teaching support, private study and assessment. Formal teaching is usually between three hours per week in subjects such as humanities and social sciences, and six hours per week in science and technology and some vocational subjects. Formal teaching is undertaken over the first 12 weeks of each semester. The remainder of the semester will allow you to complete all the relevant assessments which include coursework, examinations, or a combination of the two.

Choosing modules for your course

Whilst you are studying at Oxford Brookes you will normally select four single modules per semester or equivalent. Double modules can also be taken. Double modules might last a full academic year, and in that case are not available to students studying at Brookes for only one semester.

For more information, refer to the insert at the back of this prospectus or view our Undergraduate Modular Handbook online www.brookes.ac.uk/eg14/academic-study
