With the Oxford University acceptance rate of 17%, the university is extremely selective to get into. Also, the Oxford Brookes University acceptance rate stands at 31%, which indicates that the university selects only 31/100 applicants on average.

  • Meet the minimum entry qualifications;
  • Submit proof of English language proficiency;
  • Maintain excellent academic records;
  • Participate in activities outside class;
  • Possess good character; and more.
