Why study at a partner college?

There are many reasons why you may choose to study an Oxford Brookes qualification closer to home

1. Learning on your doorstep

Staying at home and studying can often be cheaper as well as more convenient, particularly if you plan to study alongside a career, or in between family commitments.

2. Variety and flexibility

Fitting studying in around work and other commitments can be challenging, so our courses have been specifically shaped to help you manage your workload, allowing you to earn while you learn if you wish.

Timetables for classes are generally scheduled to fit around typical work commitments - often taking place one day a week or in the evening.

Work-based learning placements are an essential element in a foundation degree, giving you ‘on-the-job’ real-life experience.

3. Lower tuition fees

It can be cheaper to study at a partner college.

4. Reach your full potential

We want you to get the most out of your time as a student. There is always help at hand if you need a bit of expert guidance - whether from your tutors, fellow students or from college services. As an automatic member of the Oxford Brookes student union, you are also entitled to use its independent advice service too.

5. Great support

You’ll receive as much or as little help as you would like to guide you through your learning. You enjoy the benefits and support services of being a student of the partner college as well as many of those at Oxford Brookes.
