Daniela Ferrante

"About half way through the course at Oxford Brookes I got a part-time internship at Fairlight Books, an independent publishing house in Oxford and shortly after was offered a full-time position as Editorial and Marketing Assistant"

Aiysha Whitfield

"Even though a foundation is an extra year of study, British degrees last just three years anyway so my total studying time was the same as it would have been in the U.S."

Cornelia Ebbesen

"The course has provided me with an excellent understanding of the three themes of communication, media and culture, and how they relate to each other. It’s given me the opportunity to explore a range of theories and ideas from the three themes, while at the same time I’ve been able to specialise in the field which best suits my interests and career ambitions"

Lucy Chileshe Filamba

"Our tutors have been really helpful and friendly; they are all easily approachable and no matter the request they offer a response fairly quickly."

Natalia Miteva

"Since starting on my placement I have been involved in many different projects and events and the increase in my responsibilities over time has proven very rewarding"

Harry Palmer

"Communication, Media and Culture really interested me as I could learn about areas like public relations and the media"

Annika Toma

"The course is so interesting – you get to question society, communications and how the media has influenced them over time"

Simon Harris

"The Brookes course offers the chance to study both medical and regular history modules. As part of my course, I choose to take a self-directed Independent Study Module – an exciting opportunity to craft my own module and specialise in something I was particularly interested in"

Poppy Houston

"Oxford Brookes is a wonderfully supportive university. It encourages you to thrive despite difficult circumstances that may arise, something I experienced myself during my postgraduate study"

Jane Thick

"Coming back to further study meant that I got the chance to study areas of History that were not part of the university curriculum at that time."

London Donson

"The ISAT team were really helpful, especially before I got here with figuring out what I couldn’t do because of my visa. Or if I had any questions about how to log into the accommodation portal or anything like that. Everyone has just been super helpful"

Kira Harkonen

"Going on exchange in a country you’ve never been to with people you’ve never met is absolutely terrifying. But I have learned more about myself this past year than I ever thought possible, and I think, as a result, I have become more like the person I want to be. I’m not there yet, but this whole experience has been amazing and has helped me grow in so many ways, and to achieve the things I wanted to achieve for myself"
