If you decide to apply for a full time course at Oxford Brookes, having taken part in the Brookes Engage programme also grants you access to a contextual offer and Scholarship.
A contextual offer means we’ll offer you a place on reduced tariff points (usually around 2 grades lower, but this can vary per course), as long as any other conditions of the offer are met.
Attend 2 Masterclasses
The sustained access scholarship is a £1000 scholarship awarded to you in your first year of study at Oxford Brookes.

In instances where students consider that their personal circumstances have not permitted them to meet this minimum attendance, the opportunity for them to query their eligibility will be possible, and the contact details to do this will be provided.

Personal Statements can be tricky! A good place to start is our on demand personal statement webinar that we'll send to you in August. Once you have developed a draft, the Brookes Engage team can take a look and provide you with written feedback to help you get that final version just right! If you prefer in person support, you can sign up to attend a personal statement appointment if you wish.
