Just wondering what the course is like, as well as the quality of teaching and job prospects

Heyy so I’m in a flat at Clive and I’m the only girl there ahaha and haven’t made too many girly friends soo pls hmu!!

I’m very open. Have lived around the world in Canada, Barbados, Brazil and Belgium so no stranger to people from varying backgrounds. Enjoy movies, documentaries, spending time in nature and more. Open to meet in Oxford and have a wander around!

So I'm a 16 year old who's planning to do ACCA while in his Alevels. Firstly, I wanted to ask if that would be feasible or it would just increase my workload to an extent I would not be able to cope with. Secondly, OBU offers an honorary degree if your completed certain papers of ACCA. On their site, they said it would be until 2026. I wanted to ask whether this is the last date for it to be possible or will they extend/renew it.

Thanks for reading this!

My friend got conditionally accepted but it says he needs a 4 in AP Physics, is this talking about the grade or the AP test score? We’re American so we don’t know how different things are over there

Hi guys does anyone know any good free parking spots around the uni? I am new so i don’t really know the city that well.

Price is not an issue (preferable under 300)

I'm an architecture major, but I leave most of my equipment in the studio so I don't realy bring them with me.

My concern is storage and ease of use, while I think escooter is a lot easier yo ride here, I don't really trust that i can keep it from being stolen.

Any suggestions?

I am applying for student visa from TLS in spaip.
But they have this on there main website page "⚠ Please be kindly informed that Barcelona is a Premium location and all applicants are charged a Premium Location fee of EUR 300.00. You may find more information about NEW 'PREMIUM' SERVICES FOR VISA APPLICANTS IN SPAIN at the following link."

So does this mean that even if i don't want the Premium services i will be forced to have it and pay 300 euro?
because they said ALL APLICANTS ARE CHARGED..

Specially as an international student, need advice thanks.

What should i expect in the CAS shield link? what questions do they ark and why am i limited to 10 minutes?

I’d love to connect and get to know more about the course - or if you’re starting in Jan 2025, let’s chat!

Any Msc. In Motorsports Engineering/ Automotive Engineering students or alumni here? Need some guidance before I make a final decision to study here.🤞🏽

Hi all, I just got hear through clearing literally yesterday so I missed induction and introductions and all that. So I have no idea how to use moodle or where my schedule is or what tasks I have to do/catch up on (studying psychology btw). Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask are there any freshers who aren’t in a group already and are looking to make friends?

Hi all asking year 2 and 3 students of oxford brookes. How strict is the uni regarding their attendance policy and what are the consequences for a student ti be absent for 1 2 classes in a week?

I am looking for Lebanese students starting there degree in January 2025 entry. What is your plan in such situations? Things are escalating and im afraid that things will shut down soon. The CAS is taking there time. I tried asking them to send me the CAS as soon as possible but i don't think they are understanding our situation in Lebanon.

First year students are guaranteed to stay if they apply, but what are the odds for 2nd and 3rd years?

Join us to try playing Quadball this Saturday at our taster session in South Parks - we are a friendly and supportive team who play Quadball (formerly Quidditch) which is a super fun, new, gender-inclusive sport. 

One of the great things about Quadball is that it caters to different levels of commitment and competitiveness! Just looking to stay active or try something new? No worries! Our training sessions and university-level tournaments provide a fun environment where you can enjoy the sport without stressing about results. Are you competitive and aiming for the top level? We have a highly experienced community league, European tournaments, and National Team tournaments, including a World Cup!

Quadball is the ideal sport to start at uni - it’s unique, exciting and no one has tried anything like it before! It’s a mixed gender, full contact sport that incorporates elements of handball, dodgeball and rugby. We are inclusive of whatever your abilities and would definitely love to have you on our team.

We train twice a week and have super fun, weekly socials where we do team bonding activities such as laser tag, Mario kart tournaments and scavenger hunts. We also compete in regional and national tournaments each term where we compete against other university teams across the country. This year OUQC came 5th nationally! 

We hope to meet some of you at the Freshers Fair tomorrow or at one of our taster sessions in South Parks!

Hello,
I am from the January entry students. I have received my unconditional offer. Can i now apply for my student visa in the mean time? but what is the CAS and can i do the student visa before receiving the CAS ?

Hi everyone! It’s my first year and I’m an international student but I’m nervous about making friends. Is anyone down to have a chat and be friends?

Did anyone else struggle with making friends their first year and was everyone friendly? The college I went to back home everyone kept to themselves and never hungout outside of class so it was hard to make friends that really stuck.

I will start a postgraduate course next week and I wanted to buy some supplies from IKEA since they have what I need and are more affordable than other options. However, I’m not sure if the accommodation team will be able to accept the parcel, as I'll be at university during the delivery time. Thank you :D

Hi anyone from Singapore staying at parade green?🥹

Hi, anyone can share your learning experience of automotive engineering? How is the teaching of this course? Do they give suitable amount of assignment and feedback in time? Many Thanks!

Hi everyone, someone tells me whether Oxford Brookes offers a distance learning program for international students or not.

I’m not sure how comfortable the mattresses are in CBSV. Does anyone know a good place to buy a mattress topper after moving in? Ideally cheap-ish since I’m not taking it home after moving out. Another blanket could also work, so if you know a good place to buy a blanket/duvet it would be helpful. Thanks!

I'm joining Bach architecture Sep 2024, and staying in parade green.

Is there any group chats I can join for these groups?

Or just any gaming groups in obu.
