Compared to UWE? Balderdash. Brookes is a well respected University with an excellent academic record, set on the edge of a beautiful student-packed city. Don't be so ridiculous.

Hmm, quite a few others.

I never said compared to UWE. I just said Oxford Brookes is crap.
quoting the independent: "...(out of a total of /24)...20 for food science, nursing, midwifery and physiotherapy; 21 for civil engineering, education, publishing, and sociology; 22 for French, Spanish, Italian and Iberian languages, maths, politics; 23 for biological sciences, art and design, history of art, building, land and property management, psychology, theology and religious studies; 24 for economics, business and management..."

quote of ACCA: "...The quality of the education provided was "approved" and the University scored a maximum 24/24 for its provision (an outcome matched only by one other Business School in the UK)...."

It achieves all this, and there are still people who call it "crap"?

This, incidentally, furthers my point.

Look it's not even a real university, it's a polytechnic disguised as one (well done Tony, you've successfully *****ed things up once again). And since when was the Independent a valuable guide to anything? It's one of the crappest newspapers around.
Kinda realised something...theres no winning with you...and also...u seemed to have highlighted certain courses...and not mentioned the others...?!? And you can't argue with what the ACCA say....they are one of the top international accountancy bodies...!

And also, its not only the independent who mention the figures...its a survey carried out by the QAA..whom survery everyone! And they realease figures...and publishers distribute it! So nothing to do with The Independent! :cool:

Fair enough you win. Oxford Brookes is an excellent establishment.
I have not just won, and it don't affect me, Oxford Brookes wins!!

Its just a stereotypical thing that people have, just because it an ex-poly..it is not good?!?! ITS NOT TRUE!! Figures back up fact!

Game Over...Please insert coin(s) for another round (not that it is required)!

:smile:
Brookes isn't bad. Certainly one of the best of it's generation.

Er, what on earth does it have to do with Tony?

I was guessing it was during his time that Brookes became a polytechnic. I gather I was incorrect - if so, please do forgive me.
