How about (History) Courses at Brookes?

Hello. I am considering the University Oxford Brookes as one of my choices and wanted to know how (history&philosophy&culture) students feel about the courses and professors there. I would appreciate any sincere experience (disappointing or amazing) concerning academic performances, colleagues, professors' abilities etc. I am not asking it for encouragement, but for understanding the atmosphere there; I value true opinions above all...

Besides, is the diploma recognized as a good diploma (or a mediocre one)? Are there high expectations when it comes to English? Are there any chances for Oxford Brookes graduates to enter prestigious universities after?

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for considering Brookes as one of your choices for university!

I'm a current Philosophy student at Brookes and honestly I really love my course. I find that all of my lecturers are extremely supportive and will meet up with you whenever you need any extra help or advice as well as going through work with you.
I find the atmosphere of the course and classes great, we always have great discussions and our lecturers really engage us.

I personally believe that a good classification degree with plenty of work experience and showing passion for your career or subject is more important than a degree from any university in particular. To help students who may want to work abroad after university we not only use traditional degree classifications (1st, 2:1, 2:2 etc.) but we also use GPA which is internationally recognised. Here's some more information: https://www.brookes.ac.uk/students/your-studies/grade-point-average/
