Oxford Brookes University is a public university situated in Oxford, England. First established as a School of Arts in 1865, the university has merged and undergone major renovations in its academic body. The institution got its university status in 1992.

Though the University is relatively new, it has achieved multiple accreditations and has gained international status by delivering top-quality academic and research studies. Oxford Brookes University, as we know it today, was named after John Henry Brookes. He made significant contributions during the development of the University at its earlier stages.

At present, the University offers foundation, undergraduate, pre-masters, postgraduate and research degrees for both domestic and international students. The university is divided across 4 campus buildings. Three of them are in and around Oxford City and one is situated in Swindon, UK.

Every year, the university accommodates over 17,000 students in their campuses and

The academic subjects are separated into four faculties: Oxford Brookes Business School, Health and Life Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Technology, Design and Environment.

The university is popular among students with a keen interest in Automotive and Motorcycle Engineering. Offering related courses such as BSc (Hons), BEng (Hons), MEng (Hons) and MSc degrees.

The university has also made partnerships with various awarding bodies, such as the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) allows ACCA students to earn a BSc (Hons). And for accommodation, there are over 10 stuydents halls providing the best and affordable student living.

Oxford Brookes University's mission is centered around shaping the future through the open and inclusive exchange of knowledge and ideas.

The university emphasises inclusivity, confidence, creativity, connectedness, and generosity of spirit as its guiding principles. It aims to provide access to education for all, conduct research addressing current and future challenges, and support local communities.

Oxford Brookes University started its academic service provider as an art-based school known as Oxford School of Art in 1865. In the late 1890s, under the administration of the Oxford City Council's Technical Instruction Committee, the school of Science Department was added, and the academic institution was renamed as Oxford City Technical School.

In 1934, the two institutions, the School of Art and the Technical School, were merged, and John Henry Brookes, who was the head of the  School of Art, became the first principal of the merged institution. The college was again renamed as the Schools of Technology, Arts and Commerce.

In later years, the college had a significant presence of students, around 4000 students, and thus a new campus was established in 1956. The institution incorporated new subjects and study areas and became Oxford Polytechnic in 1970, and in later years, the institution also incorporated the Dorset House School of Occupational Therapy, the first school of occupational therapy in the UK.

The Oxford Brookes University, as we know it today, was established in 1992, following the enactment of the Further and Higher Education Act. Since then, the university has obtained many award-winning statuses, such as Fairtrade Status in 2003 and in 2015, Oxford Brookes University celebrated its 150th anniversary.

The university has obtained multiple accreditations, ensuring that its academic guidance and services meet international standards.
