Workshops and events

We offer a wide range of workshops and special events to help you reach your full potential.

Semester 2 workshops and events

All Oxford Brookes University students can benefit from the range of free workshops and special events listed below. This semester some of our workshops will take place on campus in a space that has been renamed the Think Tank. The hope is that this will become a place where students can access development opportunities from a range of different departments at Oxford Brookes. We will also continue to offer workshops via Zoom so that you can access the session from wherever you happen to be. 

Below is a timetable for what we offering in Semester 2 along with links to book your place.

In semester time, there is a weekly drop-in service where you can turn up at any time between 12.30 and 3.00pm and get expert advice on any aspect of your studies. It may be that you want to organise files on your computer more effectively or find about the technology we use at Oxford Brookes for learning, or you might want to improve your referencing, take a skills audit, or get some help with some aspect of the dissertation process. Whatever your query, Study Smart is an opportunity to get expert, friendly help without an appointment.
