Studying in Oxford

Oxford is one of the greatest cities for students. From libraries to nightclubs and from castles to coffee shops, Oxford has everything that a student could ask for.

Located just over an hour away from London, Oxford is one of the most prosperous economic areas in the United Kingdom. It is home to a blossoming business culture with many companies from many industries successfully expanding in the area. This provides you with hundreds of opportunities right on your doorstep.

Students writing dissertations have access to world-leading resources including the Bodleian Library, the country's second largest library, and the Radcliffe Science Library. In addition to this Oxford Brookes has recently opened a brand new library on its Gipsy Lane campus, part of the new £132million John Henry Brookes Building and Abercrombie complex. The John Henry Brookes Building was the big winner at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) South awards, and is in contention for the prestigious Stirling Prize.
