Securing a place is subject to both a satisfactory DBS and an Occupational Health clearance. If neither clearance has been completed prior to enrolment or a DBS issue has been declared on application, then enrolment may not be possible.

If enrolment has been agreed, then continuation on the programme will be contingent on satisfactory clearances.

For this course, the University operates a gathered field approach to admission. This means that applications are assessed in groups, ensuring a fair and comprehensive selection process when the level of interest exceeds the number of places available.

As part of this process, following your interview, you may be placed on a waiting list until most interviews have been completed. If you are placed on the waiting list, you can expect to receive your decision before the end of March. We appreciate your patience and will keep you informed throughout the process.

Interview

Oxford Brookes University aims to provide equitable access to students with the potential to succeed. To achieve this, we make a holistic assessment, considering qualifications and experience in the context of personal and educational background. We make offers based on the evidence we can see of the skills and abilities required for success and show flexibility in our confirmation of a place, where there is evidence to show that grades may not fully represent future potential.
