Oxford Brookes University began life as the Oxford School of Art in 1865, and then expanded to become a technical college. When it moved to Headington, it became a polytechnic and finally in 1992 it became the university that we have today.
Oxford Brookes is based on three campuses (Headington, Wheatley and Harcout Hill) in and around Oxford which ca all be reached by public transportation. A direct inter-site bus service also operates all year round. Each of the three campuses has residential accommodation, playing, fields, a library, computer rooms, and Students’ Union shops.
