Student Move
Student Move is our programme of social, low-cost activities designed to help Oxford Brookes students get active, try something new and meet other students.
You don't need to be experienced or particularly sporty, just come along and get involved.
Throughout Freshers' Week and the Welcome Period, Student Move sessions are FREE to try.
Follow @brookessportoxford on Instagram for the latest activities, updates and opportunities, across the whole of Brookes Sport & Active Wellnes.
What to wear: Wear comfortable clothing you can move in and appropriate footwear. For Sports Hall activities, please wear trainers with non-marking soles. For Astro activities, wear trainers or astro shoes, no studs. Climbing shoes are available to hire from reception.
