Oxford Brookes University (OBU; formerly known as Oxford Polytechnic)[6] is a public university in Oxford, England. It is a new university, having received university status through the Further and Higher Education Act 1992. The university was named after its first principal, John Henry Brookes, who played a major role in the development of the institution.

Key Information

Oxford Brookes University is predominantly based at a campus in Headington, Oxford. A second campus is located in Swindon. Two campuses located on the outskirts of Oxford, the Wheatley campus (originally Lady Spencer-Churchill College) and the Harcourt Hill campus, closed in 2024 and 2025 respectively, with all activities moving to Headington.[7][8]

As of November 2021 the Brookes web site said that the institution had 16,900 students, 2,800 staff and over 190,000 alumni in over 177 countries.[9] The university is divided into two faculties: the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Health, Sciences and Technology. Oxford Brookes University's partnership with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) allows ACCA students to earn a BSc (Hons) in applied accounting with the submission of a research and analysis project work while taking their ACCA examinations. The university also has schools of architecture and law. Brookes is a member of the University Alliance mission.

History

[edit]

Oxford Brookes University started in 1865 as the Oxford School of Art, located in a single room on the ground floor of the Taylor Institution at St Giles', Oxford.[10] In 1870 the School of Science was added and in 1891, under the administration of the City Council's Technical Instruction Committee, it was renamed the Oxford City Technical School, incorporating the School of Art, which remained distinct. Plans were made to relocate to the former Blue Coat School for Boys on St. Ebbes.

In 1934 the School of Art and the Technical School were merged and John Henry Brookes, head of the School of Art and vice-principal of the Technical School, was appointed the first principal of the merged institution, called the Schools of Technology, Art and Commerce.[11] By 1950 the college had 4,000 students. A new campus was built on a site offered by the local Morrell brewing family. Renamed "Oxford College of Technology", it opened on the new site in 1956.[11] Its first residence hall was established in 1960 and the college relocated to Headington in 1963.

In 1970, it became Oxford Polytechnic. In 1976, it took over the former Lady Spencer-Churchill College, which had been founded in Wheatley in August 1965. In 1992 it incorporated the Dorset House School of Occupational Therapy, the first school of occupational therapy in the UK.[12] Later in 1992, following enactment of the Further and Higher Education Act, it became Oxford Brookes University, the only one of the new universities to be named after its founder.[citation needed] In 2000, it took over the site of Westminster College, Oxford, basing its education and theological activities on the site, although theology was withdrawn in 2015.

In October 2003, Oxford Brookes University became the first university in the world to be awarded Fairtrade status.[13]

Baroness Kennedy served as the university's chancellor from 1994 to 2001.[14] In 2007, Graham Upton retired as vice-chancellor and his successor, Janet Beer, was inaugurated in September.[15] In July 2008, Shami Chakrabarti, director of Liberty, replaced Jon Snow as chancellor.[16]

In March 2015, Alistair Fitt was inaugurated as vice-chancellor, replacing Janet Beer.[17] In May 2022, Brookes Union released a letter stating the student body had filed a no confidence motion against Fitt.[18] Dame Katherine Grainger, a former British Olympic rower, replaced Shami Chakrabarti as chancellor.[19] Grainger was Britain's most decorated female Olympic athlete and the first British woman to win medals at five successive games[20] (Rio 2016, London 2012, Beijing in 2008, Athens in 2004 and Sydney in 2000). She was made a dame for her services to rowing and charity in the 2017 New Years Honours. In June 2020 Katherine Grainger stood down as chancellor,[21] with Paterson Joseph appointed in October 2022.[22]

In 2015, Oxford Brookes University celebrated its 150th anniversary. A range of events and activities took place, including celebrations recognising John Henry Brookes, the university's modern founder. The first founder's day was held in May 2016.[23]

Campuses

[edit]

Oxford Brookes University’s activities are primarily located at the Headington Campus across three sites at Gypsy Lane, Headington Hill and Marston Road. The university operate a second campus in Swindon.

The front of the new John Henry Brookes building

Headington campus

The Headington campus is located in a residential area of Oxford. The main site on Gipsy Lane is home to a number of departments from across the university's academic faculties as well as the university library, main lecture theatre, the student union as well as primary administrative services. The site has undergone significant redevelopment, with the £132m John Henry Brookes Building opening in 2014.

Headington Hill Hall, the home of the School of Law

Across the road is the Headington Hill Hall site, home to the School of Arts and School of Law, as well as brand new facilities in the New Headington Hill Building (NHHB), accommodating Engineering and Motorsports activities formerly based at the Wheatley Campus.

Marston Road site, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences

A short walk from main site is the Marston Road site providing a dedicated space for subjects including nursing, midwifery and occupational therapy.

Located on the campus are the main halls of residence, including Crescent Hall, Cheney Student Village, Clive Booth Hall, Clive Booth non-en suite (formerly Morrell Hall), Warneford Hall and New Clive Booth Student Village.

Swindon campus

Oxford Brookes University opened its Swindon campus in August 2016.[24] The university moved from the former Ferndale campus in Swindon to a new and larger campus situated to the west of the town centre at the Delta Business Park. The building is named the Joel Joffe Building after Lord Joel Joffe, long-time Swindon resident and former human-rights lawyer. Adult nursing, operating department practice (ODP) and a range of continuing professional development (CPD) courses are taught there. The campus features a 185-seat lecture theatre, library and social learning spaces, teaching rooms and three clinical skills suites.

Oxford Brookes University partners with Swindon College as part of its Associate College Partnership to deliver foundation and degree courses, provides widening participation activity with local schools.

Former campuses

[edit]

Wheatley campus

The Wheatley campus was near Wheatley in the Oxfordshire countryside, seven miles south-east of the city centre. It is where information technology, mathematics and engineering are taught. The tall tower block can be seen from the A40 dual carriageway. The top four floors of the tower were initially closed in the early 2000s following the suicide of a student from the top. Five years later the rest of the tower was shut after asbestos was found and the building was deemed unsafe to house students. Since the end of October 2024, this campus has closed and the university has relocated all activity to newly-built facilities at the Headington Hill site.[25]

Harcourt Hill campus

The Harcourt Hill campus is situated on Harcourt Hill on Oxford's western perimeter, two and a half miles from the city centre. Education, philosophy, religion, theology, media and communication, and other subjects were taught here. It has two halls of residence: Harcourt Hill Hall and Westminster Hall. A regular devoted bus service links the campus to other campuses at Headington and Wheatley. It is also home to the university's leisure centre.

The campus was formerly the site of Westminster College, Oxford, an independent Methodist higher education institution which specialised in teacher training and theology. The campus was leased to Brookes by the Methodist Church, and Westminster College became the Westminster Institute of Education of Oxford Brookes University, located at the Harcourt Hill campus.

The university plans to move all teaching and library services away from Harcourt Hill to the Headington Campus for the start of the 2025/26 academic year.[8]

Redevelopment

[edit]

In recent years the university has seen major redevelopments including the opening of the £132 million John Henry Brookes Building, named after the university's spiritual leader,[26] which opened on the Headington campus in 2014. It brings together the library and teaching spaces with student support services and the Students' Union (Brookes Union), who were formerly housed in the Helena Kennedy Centre on the Headington Hill site. The building has won multiple awards including a Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) National Award; three RIBA regional awards; Oxford Preservation Trust Award and the Student Experience category of the 2014 Education Estates Awards.[27]

The university's original redevelopment proposals were vigorously opposed by local residents in 2009 when presented to the local planning committee, with many undesirable aspects of the large student population in Oxford being discussed. However, the plans for the new building were eventually approved and building work began in 2010.

The former main reception in 2013

In 2013 the redeveloped Abercrombie Building opened on the Headington campus, offering facilities for architecture students with design studios and collaborative learning spaces. In October 2014 it won the Architects' Journal Retrofit Award.[28]

In January 2015 Oxford Brookes University announced a major estates investment for the next 10 years, with £13 million per year to be spent on redevelopment across all its campuses.[29] This is to include additional building on the Headington and Harcourt campuses as well as a new campus in Swindon. Part of this investment will see all activity moved from the Wheatley campus by 2021/22. The Oxford Brookes Business School moved from the Wheatley campus to refurbished buildings at Headington campus in 2017 with plans for other departments to move to new buildings on the Headington Hill site in the future, many of which were postponed due to COVID-19 and issues with budgets.

Wheatley campus ceased operation in 2024 and the New Headington Hill Building (NHHB) opened in January 2025 to accommodate those subjects.[30] Harcourt Hill campus is planned to transfer to Headington Campus for the start of the 2025/26 academic year.[31]

Transport

[edit]
Oxford Bus Company flywheel energy storage bus on a BrookesBus service

BrookesBus was a public bus service operated under contract by the Oxford Bus Company which operated between all Brookes campuses and student halls in Oxford.[70][71] University students and staff were able to obtain a BrookesKey, which offered discounted travel on Oxford Bus Company local services. This also included an Inclusive Travel Pass for full-time students, offering free travel on BrookesBus operated services.

In 2025, it was announced that the university had decided not to renew its BrookesBus contract with the Oxford Bus Company, with no new BrookesKey or Inclusive Travel Passes issued beginning the 2025/26 academic year. Instead, a subsidised annual CityZone bus pass is now available to students and staff of the university, with passes subsided further for students living more than 2 miles from Headington Campus. Bursary holders are also eligible for further subsidies.[72][73]

This announcement was met with controversy from students and staff, with a petition calling for the reversal of this decision gaining over 1,000 signatures. Concerns were raised that students, already financially stretched by the cost of living crisis, would find it impossible to fund a £220 bus pass, with further concerns for the safety of those travelling back late from society events deciding to walk back to their accommodation rather than catch the bus.[74]

History

Founding and early development

Oxford Brookes University traces its origins to 1865, when the Oxford School of Art was established in a single room at the Taylor Institution in central Oxford. The school was founded to provide practical arts education tailored to local artisans and craftsmen, emphasizing skills in drawing, design, and to support the region's industrial and manufacturing needs. In 1870, the institution expanded through the incorporation of the School of Science, forming the Oxford School of Art and Science and broadening its curriculum to include scientific principles alongside artistic training. This merger reflected growing demand for integrated technical education in Victorian Britain. By 1891, under the oversight of Oxford City Council's Technical Instruction Committee, the school was restructured and renamed the Oxford City Technical School, introducing engineering programs that marked a shift toward more comprehensive technical instruction, including mechanical and civil engineering disciplines. The saw further reorganization, with John Henry Brookes appointed as Vice-Principal of the City Technical School and Head of the School of Art in 1928. Brookes, an educator with a background in crafts and technical training, played a pivotal role in consolidating the institution's focus on practical, vocationally oriented . In 1934, the School of Art merged with the technical school to create the Schools of Technology, Art, and Commerce, with Brookes elected as the first Principal; this entity expanded offerings in and commercial studies while operating across 19 sites in due to rapid growth. By 1955, amid postwar expansion and a move to a new site—where Lord Nuffield laid the foundation stone—the institution was renamed the Oxford College of Technology, signaling its evolution into a major center for higher technical education. Student enrollment surpassed 2,000 by the early 1960s, underscoring its increasing prominence. This development culminated in 1970 with its redesignation as Oxford Polytechnic.

Polytechnic era and path to university status

In 1970, the Oxford College of Technology was redesignated as Oxford Polytechnic under the UK's of higher education, which established polytechnics to provide applied, vocational, and practice-oriented teaching distinct from the more theoretical focus of universities. The Polytechnic underwent substantial expansion during the 1970s and 1980s, incorporating new academic programs in areas such as business studies, health sciences—including the integration of the Oxford School of Nursing in 1988—and the , alongside the acquisition of the Wheatley in 1976 through amalgamation with a teacher training . This period saw the student body grow significantly, reaching approximately 10,000 by 1990, reflecting broader national efforts to increase access to higher education. Key legislative changes facilitated the institution's evolution: the transformed polytechnics into independent statutory corporations, freeing them from local authority control, while the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 abolished the binary divide, granting polytechnics university status and the authority to award their own degrees. In 1992, Oxford Polytechnic was renamed Oxford Brookes University to honor John Henry Brookes, its principal from 1934 to 1956, whose visionary leadership had laid the groundwork for its development into a major educational institution. However, the early transition brought challenges, including reduced public funding per student amid national higher education budget constraints and intensified competition for resources and prestige with the nearby .

Campuses and facilities

Current campuses

Oxford Brookes University operates its primary academic and administrative functions from the Campus, following the closure of the Wheatley Campus at the end of the 2023/24 academic year and the relocation of teaching activities from Harcourt Hill ahead of the 2025/26 academic year. A dedicated site in supports specialized programs. Collectively, the active campuses cover approximately 60 hectares, with an emphasis on integrating green spaces for environmental and ensuring accessibility through links and on-site amenities. The Headington Campus, situated one mile east of across three interconnected sites—Gipsy Lane, Hill, and Marston Road—serves as the central hub for most undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, research, and student services. It hosts schools in health and life sciences, humanities and social sciences, and , , and mathematics, along with the central administration and main . The John Henry Brookes Building, completed in 2014, anchors the campus as a multifunctional space housing the , , and student support offices; its , incorporating natural ventilation and low-carbon materials, earned the Royal Institute of British Architects () South Building of the Year award in 2015. Adjacent to it, the Abercrombie Building, opened in 2013, provides dedicated facilities for the , including lecture theatres, collaborative workspaces, and research labs focused on and . The campus also features a sports centre with a , outlets, and medical services to support the daily needs of over 15,000 students. The Harcourt Hill Campus, located three miles west of city centre on a hillside site accessible via the A34 and local buses, now functions primarily as a residential and recreational area. With all teaching and library services transferred to for the 2025/26 academic year, it accommodates over 1,000 students in modern halls of residence and hosts sports facilities, including outdoor pitches for football, rugby, and athletics, alongside green open spaces that promote and events. In West Swindon, the Swindon Campus at Delta Business Park specializes in adult education and simulation-based training, benefiting from proximity to the Great Western Hospital and other clinical partners. Opened in 2017 within the Joel Joffe Building, it includes clinical skills laboratories, high-fidelity simulation suites, a subject-specific , and collaborative study areas to prepare students for healthcare practice. In April 2025, the Swindon Campus celebrated 25 years of healthcare education.

Developments and former sites

Oxford Brookes University has undergone significant changes to its physical footprint, including the closure of several sites and major redevelopment efforts to consolidate operations and enhance facilities. The Wheatley Campus, operational since the , was fully vacated by the end of the 2023/24 academic year, with all teaching, research, and support activities relocated to other campuses. Originally spanning 25 acres and hosting programs in , , and , the site is now slated for residential redevelopment, including up to 500 homes, following planning approvals initiated in 2018. Earlier historical sites have also been repurposed over time. The university's roots trace back to central Oxford locations, but by the mid-20th century, expansion led to the use of sites like the former Cowley Barracks area in east , where student accommodation was developed on the military grounds decommissioned in ; this site remains in use for housing but reflects the institution's of legacy properties. No direct integration with headquarters occurred, though the university has maintained ongoing partnerships with the force for community safety initiatives since the , including joint training and violence prevention programs. Key redevelopment projects have focused on modernizing core campuses. In 2019, the university awarded an £18 million contract for upgrades at the Headington Hill site, including the conversion of former student accommodation spaces into academic facilities; this was part of a broader £220 million, 10-year estate investment plan. By June 2022, was granted for two new sustainable buildings—a teaching block and a workshop facility—totaling over 2,200 square meters, which now house relocated and programs from Wheatley. These structures, completed in 2025, feature flexible labs and industry-standard equipment to support STEM education. Sustainability has driven recent initiatives amid these changes. committed to net-zero carbon operations by 2040, aligning with government targets through an interim strategy aiming for a 68% emissions reduction by 2030 from buildings, infrastructure, and purchased . In 2025, the university installed 1,400 square meters of solar panels across three buildings on the Campus, including two student residences and the Clerici Building, generating up to 260,000 kWh annually and covering 18% of the campus's needs. These efforts build on prior installations, bringing the total solar capacity to 760 kWp across 10 buildings. The 2020s presented financial challenges that influenced site decisions and maintenance priorities. Post-pandemic enrollment shortfalls, including a shortfall of £8.8 million below target from intake in 2021–22, prompted staff reductions and program closures, followed by an operating deficit of £4.7 million in 2023/24, exacerbating constraints and leading to deferred maintenance on aging across campuses. This rationalization supported the shift away from underutilized sites like Wheatley, allowing reinvestment in high-impact developments while addressing a precarious .

Organisation and governance

Faculties and schools

Oxford Brookes University underwent a strategic transformation in 2024, resulting in a restructured academic organization as of 2025 consisting of two faculties: the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) and the Faculty of Health, Science and Technology (HST). This change consolidated the previous four faculties—Business, Health and Life Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Technology, Design and Environment—into these two broader units to enhance interdisciplinary collaboration and operational efficiency. The faculties house 11 schools that deliver teaching, research, and knowledge exchange activities across diverse disciplines. The Faculty of , and Social Sciences encompasses schools focused on creative, , educational, and legal fields, including the School of , Oxford Brookes School, School of Education, and Languages, and School of Law and Social Sciences.
