Application to enrolment

These documents are the ones we must see to be able to make a quick decision on your application. Including these will ensure a faster decision and avoid missed emails!

• Personal statement (please write on the application form or upload as a document)
• School/University transcript (completed or progress so far)
• Accurate description of qualifications taken - no need to convert to a UK equivalent, please do tell us the official title and exam board of the qualification being taken

If you have these documents when you apply please include them, but if not, you can send these to us later to meet the offer conditions:

• One letter of recommendation (Undergraduate and Postgraduate)
• English language evidence - see which tests we accept. We are now offering the Kaplan KITE English Language test which is an easy-to-access, online English test that can be taken from home. Students can register online for the KITE test.
• Final certificates or confirmation of awards
• CV (if work experience is required)
• Portfolio (if required for the course)
• Passport
• Previous UK visas (if applicable)

A personal statement should outline why your student wants to study their chosen course in the UK and how it might help their future plans. It should be written in their own words. Here are some resources to help your students make an impact in their personal statement.

• Oxford Brookes Personal Statements guide
• Help with your application: Guide for international students
• UCAS Personal Statement tool

If you would like more guidance, please do ask your Global Recruitment contact for help - we are happy to run workshops for your students on how to write a personal statement.

For visa purposes, certified English translations are required for all academic documents. Please include these at the point of application.

• The Accommodation Bureau (accomm@brookes.ac.uk) will send the email in November for January starters and in late April or early May for September starters.
• Email invitations will only be sent to the address provided on the university application form, not the agent address, when the offer is accepted, regardless of whether the offer is conditional or unconditional.
• Students don’t need to wait until they have their visa or their CAS. In fact, we suggest they don’t wait, as they might miss the application deadline. They can apply as soon as they receive the invitation.

• Firstly check the Application deadline
• When creating an account on the accommodation portal, you need to enter the applicant’s personal email address and verify the account within an hour. It’s best for the applicant to do so.

Accommodation is only allocated periodically, not on a first-come, first-served basis.

Only unconditional offer holders will be allocated accommodation

You will receive an email from us when you have been allocated a room. You can accept or decline the offer on the accommodation portal.

Once you have been assigned a room in a Hall of Residence, you will be required to sign a formal contract digitally. As soon as you sign your contract, you are entering into a legally binding financial agreement, so you should be aware of these terms and agree to them before signing. Find out more about these terms.
