About Oxford Brookes University
Oxford Brookes University has degree awarding power, granted by Royal Charter, as with every other UK university. These powers are granted on the basis of Oxford Brookes University having appropriate procedures for assuring the quality and standards of its awards in both design and operation, and being subject to the scrutiny of the QAA, the body responsible to the UK Government's Department for Education and Skills for assuring the quality of UK Higher Education in the public interest.
In November 2000, QAA conducted a subject review of the quality of education in business and management provided by Oxford Brookes University. The quality of the education provided was "approved" and the University scored a maximum 24/24 for its provision (an outcome matched only by one other Business School in the UK). QAA conducted an audit of Oxford Brookes University as recently as April 2005, and concluded that it has 'broad confidence' (the highest category available) in the quality and standards of its awards.
The Business School is probably the leading school for teaching and learning in the UK. The School was recently given a number of awards by the UK Funding Council to develop projects in teaching and learning together with a sum of ¡ê4.5 million to set up a Centre of Excellence. In 2005 the School won a bid to host the Subject Centre for all UK Higher Education Institutions for Business, Management Accounting and Finance. It already hosts the Subject Centre for Hospitality and Tourism Management.
