International Exchange/Overseas Program

At Oxford Brookes University 4I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to study here for a month.

First of all, regarding student life, I think it is a wonderful environment with students from various countries and diverse cultures. I lived in the same apartment as my British, Italian and Chinese friends, which was really great because I could interact with them outside of school and talk about new things and learn more from such conversations. There are student benefits at all facilities such as convenience stores, supermarkets and public transportation, which are convenient and a priority for students. Oxford is also one of the cities famous for its good security, and the scenery is very beautiful, so there are many outdoor activities.

Classes are different from those in Japan, with each class lasting three hours but divided into different periods.

The first class was a seminar class, and everyone gathered in each class.100More than 100 students listen to a lecture on new knowledge. 2 In the 1st lesson, all students10About10We are divided into small classes of 10 and our teacher will explain the concepts and knowledge we have heard more thoroughly. I am very impressed with this learning method, and after each lesson we have the opportunity to dig deeper and understand each piece of knowledge more thoroughly.

I took four classes.

In Creating and Delivering Retail Brand, individuals are assessed based on assigned tasks, which include physically visiting selected stores and writing reports.Business Strategy for Competitive AdvantageThere is a major report and a short quiz, and the content of the quiz is very difficult.Digital and Social Media Marketing StrategyWhen,Global Business CommunicationsAchievement will be assessed through group work tasks.

The teacher's teaching is very easy to understand and is fully posted on the student website. All lessons are recorded and posted on the website, so participation in classes is entirely on a voluntary basis. The assessment of actual ability is done through practical assignments, not midterm or final exams. The learning and interaction environment here is also very dynamic, and in most of the class time we work in groups and express our opinions.
