About Oxford Brookes University

With an international reputation for innovation, high quality education and research, and global relationships Oxford Brookes University‟s commitment to excellent teaching and providing a great student experience has been recognised by The Times as part the Good University Guide 2012. The Times states that Oxford Brookes is “firmly established as England‟s leading post-1992 University” and rose three places to reach 48th in a table of UK Higher Education Institutions. This has afforded Oxford Brookes “a level of competition not unlike that at some Russell Group universities”. The Faculty also hosts one of the UK's 24 Higher Education Academy Subject Centres, set up to share good practice in teaching.

Oxford Brookes University – like other UK universities – has degree awarding power, granted by Royal Charter. But what does this mean? Well, these powers are granted on the basis of Oxford Brookes University having appropriate procedures for assuring the quality and standards of its awards in both design and operation, and being subject to the scrutiny of the QAA, the body responsible to the UK Government's Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills for assuring the quality of UK Higher Education in the public interest. So although you don‟t physically attend Oxford Brookes University to gain the BSc (Hons) degree in Applied Accounting, the degree programme is of the same rigorous standard as other degrees offered by Oxford Brookes University and meets standards set by QAA.

In an independent assessment of teaching quality, the Business Faculty was one of only two in the country to achieve the maximum score (24/24) across more than one subject area. The School's reputation has also been recognised through the award of a national, multi-million-pound Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Learning, which has developed a new learning centre on campus with the latest technology to support learning in a café-style environment.
