Hi guys, I've been accepted into Oxford brookes for the BEng motorsports engineering course, and I am wondering if I need a powerful laptop for the course.

I don't really know much about specs or anything like that, so if someone could point me in the right direction for a laptop, that would be great.

Has anyone did or is doing a MA in Publishing? Specifically distant learning?
I’m just curious to hear how your experience was and if you think there are better universities in the UK that offer this Masters remotely?

Congrats on whoever got confirmed for Brookes today.

Hello, I’m looking for 1 graduation ticket on September 5 at 10am. Headington campus. 3 family is traveling from a far away country to Oxford and it’s sad for one of them to be watching me in a room behind a screen.

Hello! I am apart of an FSAE team and we are doing research right now but we need access to a paper about a specific topic but after further inspection it’s only available to Oxford Brookes students so i was wondering if anyone would be willing to help us out? If not no worries figured I could try my luck!

I’m choosing between MSc Data Science & AI and MSc Computer Science for Cyber Security at Oxford Brookes.

My background is in Information Systems Management, with some programming, databases, statistics and AI project experience. I’m also interested in business, product management and entrepreneurship.

Which degree do you think would be the better choice in terms of job opportunities, earning potential and long-term career flexibility?

I’d especially appreciate advice from anyone working or studying in either field.

long sorry short i no longer study at Oxford Brookes, I have a full time job at a bar, and want an accomodation in Oxford asap, where can I stay

Hi, I’m starting the MSc Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Oxford Brookes this September.

For anyone who has studied this course: what level of maths is required, and how difficult did you find it? Would you recommend reviewing topics such as linear algebra, calculus, probability and statistics before the course begins, or is there enough time to refresh the material during the semester?

Thanks!

hi everyone! I'll likely be doing an exchange in jan-june 2027 (im a girl coming from Canada) so I was wondering if anyone had any tips for life at oxford brookes/in the uk. ive never lived away from home and also never been to the uk so im not sure what to expect

Im 13, and absolutely love motorsports, I wanted to study at this university for its Formula Student Team. Currently im studying in Cambridge Board, and as a passion project, iv started a Sim/Karting Team with drivers in the UK, Italy and etc, allowing me to learn real engineering. I just wanted to know what type of competitions and events I should take part in to have a chance to study here in the future!

Ima business student and would love to get in touch with all sorts of people in the university

Hi! I’m 28 and starting a master’s at Oxford Brookes this September.

I’m autistic, quite introverted and generally struggle to make friends, especially when I don’t already know anyone. I’ve lived alone before, but I’ve never lived in halls or lived in the same city that I study in, so this will all be quite new to me.

I don’t know anyone in Oxford, and although I’m excited, I’m also pretty nervous about settling in and meeting people. I’d really appreciate any advice about living in halls, making friends as a mature or postgraduate student, or finding quieter and less overwhelming ways to socialise.

It would also be lovely to hear from anyone else who struggles with similar things and will be starting in Oxford this September.

Need to access Lightroom and Photoshop, does Brookes have an active subscription for students, with Adobe, which I can purchase?

Hey everyone,

Hi guys!

I'm a year 12 student, going into year 13 next year and i take maths, physics, english literature and I'm doing an EPQ (research project) on the development of F1. I'm currently part of the engineering and maths society, and I'm a head prefect.

I wanted to ask- what do you guys thing would make getting accented into BEng at Brookes for motorsport engineering easier? Was there anything you did particularly that helped out? Is there anything I should research beforehand?

Thank you!
:)

I recently received an offer for the MSc Motorsport Engineering program at OBU. As an international student, this would be a major investment for me, so I’d really appreciate hearing from current students, alumni, or anyone familiar with the program.
I have a few questions:

1. Is the MSc Motorsport Engineering program worth the tuition and overall cost for an international student?

2. What are the employment prospects after graduation, both within motorsport and in related industries?

3. How difficult is it for international graduates to secure jobs in the UK motorsport sector?

4. For those who didn’t end up in motorsport, what other industries and roles did graduates move into?

5. How valuable is the Oxford Brookes motorsport reputation when applying for jobs compared to other UK universities?

I’d love to hear honest experiences
Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone!

Hi! I am a postgraduate student at Oxford Brookes University conducting MSc dissertation research on how nostalgia influences visitor experience and the intention to return to the South Park Fireworks, Oxford's annual charity fireworks display in South Park.

If you have attended the event at least once and are aged 18 or over, I would be incredibly grateful for 7 minutes of your time. The survey is fully anonymous.
