Oxford Brookes University’s vision is to shape tomorrow through the open and inclusive exchange of knowledge and ideas.
John Henry Brookes, after whom the University is named, believed that everyone should have access to education. That was at the heart of how he led Oxford Brookes’ predecessor institutions. And it’s why the University exists today.
Oxford Brookes’ approach is different. The University doesn’t just teach.
It works with learners to help them develop the skills, knowledge and personal qualities they will need to succeed. In doing so, it ensures they become:
● employable
● confident, independent and resilient
● ready for the future
● socially engaged.
The University’s location in Oxfordshire – a thriving centre of enterprise, research and innovation – means that it is plugged in to the needs of industry and society. Its research aims to deliver transformational social, cultural and economic benefits for its local and global communities
As a major employer for the region, supporting its neighbours will always be as critical to Oxford Brookes as helping to solve the challenges that the world faces. The University recognises its place within the vibrant ecosystem that is Oxford, attracting an inclusive and diverse community of students, staff and visitors.
The University encourages everyone to explore its inspirational campus sites and buildings. Oxford Brookes runs open lectures, festivals, conferences, documentary screenings and exhibitions throughout the year, many of which are free to attend. The University also welcomes members of the community who use its services such as its excellent catering outlets, libraries, accommodation sites and Brookes Sport facilities.
The University’s dedicated Oxford Brookes Venues team is on hand to offer a wide range of booking options for spaces across Oxford Brookes’ sites.
The University’s excellent location, and the opportunities it offers, underpins Oxford Brookes’ position as one of the country’s leading modern, forward-thinking and inclusive universities.
