Open Day event programme

Welcome to your Oxford Brookes University Open Day

Our Headington Campus is set across 3 sites (Gipsy Lane, Headington Hill and Marston Road). Located 1 mile east of Oxford city centre, a scenic walk or short bus ride gets you to the heart of the city.

You'll find a thriving student community living and learning in a modern, uplifting environment. The student support team, based in the John Henry Brookes Building (JHB), provides a full range of support and advice services on campus.

Schedule

Subject-specific sessions and student services talks take place throughout the day. Please check timings to make sure you give yourself enough time to attend all activities that are of interest to you.

Student services talks

Our Students Services Teams are also available to chat with throughout the day at drop-in desks located in the The Forum in our John Henry Brookes building. Please ask any of our Student Ambassadors or volunteers for directions. No student services talks take place at our Marston Road site, but staff from our Admissions, Accommodation, and Finance teams are located there to answer your questions.
