“I am writing from Oxford Brookes University to invite you to bring your Year 12 students to our Experience Brookes event on Thursday 14 January 2016. This will take place on our Headington Campus and will run from approximately 9:00am-3:30pm
This event was formerly known as our HE Conference and is an open day style event for students interested in progressing onto higher education. It aims to provide attending students with a real ‘day in the life’ experience of studying at Oxford Brookes University and will feature a wide range of interactive subject taster sessions delivered by Oxford Brookes academics, as well as some more general activities such as campus tours and presentations on UCAS and student finance. Attending students will be able to book onto sessions and activities in advance so that they only attend what is of interest to them.
This year’s event saw us welcome over 800 students to the campus and their feedback was really positive, as to both their enjoyment of the day and its role in increasing the likelihood of them applying to university. This coming January we are aiming to have even more subjects involved and to welcome over 1,000 students for the first time.
We are inviting a large number of schools and colleges, particularly those like Little Heath School with a strong tradition of sending students to Oxford Brookes, so for now I am able to offer you spaces for 50 students. The event will be quite Brookes specific. For the time being I would encourage you to prioritise students with a real interest in applying to Oxford Brookes (we offer the course they are interested in, they are likely to achieve the required grades, etc).”
