The cost of studying at Oxford Brookes University varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen. 

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay £9,900 annually, to study in Oxford Brookes University.

Our graduates have been successful in gaining employment as furniture makers, furniture designers and furniture CAD technicians with local, national and international companies. Others have set up their own design studios and some well-known alumni have gone on to make essential contributions to the industry.
