Off campus induction events

Some subjects have organised induction events that will take place off campus. Details about these events can be found below.

Law Oxford Crime Walk

For LLB Law Students only. Places are extremely limited and students will need to register in advance.

Wednesday 18th September, 2 - 4 pm

Law is all around us. It sticks to places and spaces. Because it is so pervasive, we often don’t notice it. Join Professor Peter Edge for a walking tour of Oxford, revealing the hidden criminal legal history of Oxford, and tying it into subjects you will be exploring in your programme. The tour begins at Headington Hill Hall, and ends in the Market Square in the middle of Oxford.

The walk is approximately 2.5 miles. There will be some kerbs and variation in ground level to navigate, including the walk down Headington Hill. Students will be asked to notify us of any accessibility requirements in the booking form and Student Ambassadors will be on hand to offer support to students who require it.

If you are interested in joining us, please complete this google form by 12 noon on Tuesday 17th September.

History walk and scavenger hunt

For Single and Joint hons History students only.

Thursday 19th September, 3 pm, meeting in Gibbs G538 (weather permitting).

History academics and members of the Oxford Brookes History Society will take new students on a tour and scavenger hunt of Oxford City Centre.

The walk down to Oxford City centre is approximately 1.5 miles, but students can opt to take the Brookes Bus instead. Once in town, students will be taken on a tour of some of the most famous historic sites of Oxford and asked to find and identify items of particular interest.

English Literature academics will take new students on a literary tour of Headington, the area local to Oxford Brookes. In addition to learning more about famous local writers, the walk will also include puzzles to solve - and prizes!

The walk to Headington and back to campus is approximately 3 miles. On the route, students will be taken on a tour to see the residences of some of Headington's literary writers, poets, novelists and thinkers, including Zimbabwean novelist Dambudzo Marechera, fantasy novelist and scholar J. R. R. Tolkien, and Irish-British novelist Elizabeth Bowen.. There is an incline towards Headington; we will walk on pavements and paths, some of which are narrow.
