Oxford Brookes University

Applying to study at university can be a daunting process, particularly if you are doing it for the first time.

At Oxford Brookes we try to make the process as straightforward as we can. If you are a prospective undergraduate student you may find our 'How to apply' pages useful. They take you through the timings for applying depending on your course start date, how to apply through UCAS, entry requirements, late applications and where you can go to ask questions.

Likewise, if you are considering postgraduate study, our postgraduate 'How to apply' information pages will give you the information you need to submit your application as the process for applying is different from undergraduate.

We wish you all the best with your applications!
