Direct Application Opportunities for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Study
Oxford Brookes University
Oxford, United Kingdom
Oxford Brookes University is inviting applications from prospective undergraduate, postgraduate, international, and research students through its direct online application system. The university offers a range of study options for students applying outside the standard UCAS route, including postgraduate taught programmes, international foundation courses, pathways programmes, part-time study, associate study, and selected undergraduate programmes.
International students may apply directly for both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. For September intake undergraduate entry, applications may be submitted either directly to the university or through UCAS. January intake applications for international students must be submitted directly to the university. Most postgraduate taught courses also require direct applications through the university’s online portal.
Applicants are advised to submit their applications as early as possible, as some courses recruit year-round while others have fixed deadlines or may close early due to high demand. The university also provides guidance and support throughout the admissions process, including assistance with CAS issuance, visa preparation, accommodation, scholarships, and induction activities.
Applicants may be required to submit official academic transcripts, certificates, proof of English language proficiency, a personal statement of approximately 500 words, and an academic or professional reference letter. Some programmes may also have specific application procedures, including interviews, portfolio submissions, or external application systems.
For international students applying for the September 2026 intake, applications should ideally be completed by 31 July 2026 to allow sufficient time for visa processing and CAS issuance. Induction activities begin on 14 September 2026, with teaching commencing on 21 September 2026.
Certain programmes such as the Graduate Diploma in Law, PGCE Teacher Training courses, and some specialised degrees have separate application procedures and applicants are advised to review individual course pages carefully before applying.
