Oxford Brookes University is a modern, forward thinking place to learn. We are one of the UK’s leading modern universities, with an international reputation for teaching excellence, innovation, and strong links to business, industry and civic partners.
Our student experience is shaped by hands-on, practical learning informed by cutting edge research. Our exceptional academics deliver teaching excellence, backed by 11 National Teaching Fellowships, and the quality of our work is reflected in high student satisfaction and strong employment outcomes. We place a strong emphasis on employability: over 90 percent of full time undergraduates enter employment or further study within 15 months. At Brookes, we are rooted in Oxford yet reach globally, with over 16,000 students, roughly 2,800 staff, and more than 130,000 alumni across 189 countries, all contributing to our vibrant and inclusive community. We embrace flexibility: many courses offer part time and distance learning options to support students working alongside study. Our students tell us they value the practical focus, supportive learning environment and vibrant community. From our award winning labs to our close knit campus life, we inspire curiosity, creativity and confidence. Our global reach is strengthened by alumni, collaborators and partnerships worldwide. The Brookes experience connects people for life and equips individuals and organisations to make a real world difference.
Our research is internationally recognised, with 97 percent rated internationally recognised and 70 percent rated world leading or internationally excellent in REF 2021. It is closely connected to real world challenges. We have invested over 220 million pounds in multi award winning facilities between 2015 and 2025, including specialist labs for engineering, healthcare, robotics, digital media, law, architecture, and exercise science, many designed in partnership with industry. Our strong links to business, industry and the public sector inform our teaching, research and consultancy. We are part of University Alliance, committed to driving innovation, and offer professional accreditations, placements, mentoring and employer informed programs. As a civic institution, we are embedded in Oxfordshire and beyond, committed to inclusivity, social mobility, and sustainability. We were the first Fairtrade university, hold Athena Swan Bronze status, and our research informs policy locally and globally.
