Description

Oxford Brookes University offers ASA students an ideal environment for their study abroad experience. Currently, Oxford Brookes is home to 19,000 students, 73% of whom are at the undergraduate level, and offers undergraduate classes (called "modules") in over 145 subject areas. Not only does Oxford Brookes have the top-notch academics, facilities, and opportunities that one would expect from any large U.S. university, but it is also located in one of the most historically and intellectually rich cities in the world.

For the last five years, Brookes has been named "Best New University" by the Sunday Times University Guide, and in 2006 it was named "Leading Modern University." Best of all, in a recent survey, 96% of Brookes' international students would recommend Oxford Brookes University to prospective students - and who better to advocate Oxford Brookes than students who have already studied abroad there.
