Oxford Brookes UniversityOxford Brookes is a university in Oxford, England which should not be confused with the University of Oxford. It has a student body of around 19,000, and, like most of the former polytechnics, it was redesignated as a university in 1992. However it traces its roots much further back, to a 19th century art school. It is named after John Henry Brookes, its head from 1928 to 1956. Although Brookes's admissions process is significantly less demanding than that of its more famous neighbour, the university is still well-regarded, and has been one of the most successful of all the former polytechnics. It prides itself especially on the quality of its history, modern languages and economics departments. It has pioneered the use of modular degree courses, allowing exotic combinations such as "Business Statistics and Clinical Aromatherapy" or "Ecology and Telecommunications" to be studied. It has been named "Best New University" by "The Times Good University Guide" for eight years in a row. External links
