Accommodation

Oxford Brookes offers a variety of hall and housing choices. Most of our halls are managed by the University. For these halls, your first payment will be your first rent charge, due in early October. However, some halls do require a deposit or rent advance as part of confirming the booking. Please visit the hall pages for more information.

Placement

• A key feature of all undergraduate courses is the opportunity to spend a year in industry through our work placement scheme. A year in industry is optional, though strongly encouraged, and takes place in the third year of a four-year course.
• The placement should be of a suitable level of responsibility to add value to a degree.
• The placement must be full time (a minimum of 37.5 hours per week) and must be for a minimum of 40 weeks.
• The salary must be commensurate with the placement role and not less than the minimum wage for the country in which the placement is taking place.
• You must get your placement approved by contacting the Work and Voluntary Experience Services (WAVES) team at waves@brookes.ac.uk before you accept an offer. This guarantees it will count towards your programme of study and ensures you are assigned a placement tutor.

We are based in Oxford, a vibrant student city that has centred around education and learning for centuries. We have four campuses/sites, each with their own unique feel and community in Oxford and an additional campus in Swindon for those studying Adult Nursing.
