Oxford Brookes University Computer Science BSc (Hons) is a three-year, full-time, face-to-face Bachelor of Science degree at Headington Campus in Oxford for September 2027. International entry requires 112 UCAS Tariff points or A-level BBC, equivalent to 65% in Indian Standard XII. Calculated three-year tuition is £57,900 (INR 75.57 Lakhs) at the published 2027-28 annual rate.

The curriculum moves from programming, computer systems and mathematics into databases, software engineering, C and C++, security, web development and data structures. An optional 12-month supervised placement, a final computing project and modules in artificial intelligence, secure programming and cloud computing make it a practical route into software and computing roles. The best prepared applicant is comfortable with continuous assessment and a 1,200-hour annual workload, while the tradeoff is that a placement year adds time and cost.

  • British Computer Society accreditation supports the academic pathway toward Chartered IT Professional registration.
  • Headington facilities include virtual reality, digital, computing and robotics laboratories for practical work.
  • International applicants can choose direct university application or UCAS for the full-time September route.

Current Admission Status

Applications for the September 2027 intake are Not Yet Open. International student deadline: 13 January 2027 at 18:00 UK time, or 23:30 IST (Indian Standard Time).

The published date is the 2027 UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) equal-consideration deadline for most undergraduate courses. UCAS is the central application system for UK undergraduate applications, while the direct international deadline remains unpublished for this cycle.

Oxford Brookes Computer Science Fees and Living Costs 2027

The published 2027-28 international full-time tuition is £19,300 (INR 25.19 Lakhs) for one academic year.

At that rate, three years equal £57,900 (INR 75.57 Lakhs) before any later annual fee increase. An optional sandwich placement year is listed at £2,010 (INR 2.62 Lakhs).

Oxford Brookes’ current international guide states a minimum tuition deposit of £3,000 (INR 3.92 Lakhs). Some applicants are asked for a £5,000 top-up (INR 6.53 Lakhs).

Those deposit figures are current-guide policy references, are deducted from tuition and remain subject to the 2027 offer letter.

UCAS applications carry a 2027 fee of £34.50 (INR 4,503), while direct application charges were not published on the checked programme page.

Course-specific optional costs include placement travel of £30 to £700 (INR 3,916 to INR 91,364) per year. A personal computer may cost £500 to £1,200 (INR 65,260 to INR 1.57 Lakhs).

Print and binding starts from £30 (INR 3,916), while books may cost £20 to £60 (INR 2,610 to INR 7,831) each. University halls cost £139 to £248 (INR 18,142 to INR 32,369) weekly.

Target-cycle fee context: the table uses the published 2027-28 international full-time rate and the 2027 UCAS charge.

  • Budget the £57,900 (INR 75.57 Lakhs) tuition illustration as a ceiling because the university says international fees may rise in later years.
  • Keep the £2,010 (INR 2.62 Lakhs) placement fee separate because the sandwich year adds industry time and a fourth year of living costs.
  • Treat the £3,000 (INR 3.92 Lakhs) deposit as an early cash requirement, not an extra charge, because it is deducted from tuition.

Cost of Living in Oxford for Computer Science Students

Oxford Brookes’ current living-cost estimate is £1,400 to £1,855 (INR 1.83 to INR 2.42 Lakhs) per month for Oxford student living costs.

The 38-week academic-year total is £12,274 to £16,264 (INR 16.02 to INR 21.23 Lakhs). A 52-week budget is £16,796 to £22,256 (INR 21.92 to INR 29.05 Lakhs).

Accommodation within that combined estimate ranges from £585 to £1,040 (INR 76,354 to INR 1.36 Lakhs) per month.

Because the university combines several costs, do not add the rent range again to the total unless your chosen residence quote excludes the included items.

Calculated target-cycle planning range: £108,288 to £124,668 (INR 1.41 Crore to INR 1.63 Crore). It uses £57,900 (INR 75.57 Lakhs) tuition and three years of 52-week living totals, so it is a planning calculation.

The range excludes visa charges, travel, future tuition increases and placement-year costs, so use it as a target-cycle planning range rather than a university invoice.

Student perspective

Two university-level reviews mention that private accommodation can require documents, advance funds or a guarantor. Another review describes Oxford housing as difficult and recommends starting months early, so Indian applicants should begin residence research after receiving an offer; the student reviews provide only anecdotal context.

These comments are anecdotal and do not replace official Oxford Brookes University data.

Also Check: United Kingdom study costs

Key insight: The annual fee is confirmed, but Oxford living costs widen the budget to INR 1.41 Crore to INR 1.63 Crore; secure housing evidence before borrowing.

Oxford Brookes Computer Science Admission 2027

The standard offer is 112 UCAS Tariff points, A-level BBC, International Baccalaureate (IB) 27 points or BTEC DMM.

These routes describe equivalent qualifications, so Indian applicants should use the university’s India table rather than convert grades independently.

Oxford Brookes maps A-level BBC and 112 points to 65% in Standard XII for India.

The course normally requires Mathematics and English Language at GCSE grade 4/C, while previous computing experience is not required.

Use Oxford Brookes’ India equivalency table for the Standard XII mapping and qualification details.

The checked official sources do not show a current programme ranking from the major global ranking bodies, so an overall university position is not used as Computer Science evidence.

English Language Requirements for Indian Applicants

International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic requires 6.0 overall, with 6.0 in reading and writing and 5.5 in listening and speaking.

IELTS Academic is the university’s reference scale, while alternative tests follow the official comparison table.

TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language internet-based test) requires 4 overall on the 1.0 to 6.0 scale.

For tests taken on or after 21 January 2026, each TOEFL iBT component must also be 4.

Older TOEFL iBT tests use the 0 to 120 scale with 80 overall and Reading 20, Listening 21, Speaking 24 and Writing 19.

PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English Academic) requires 65 overall and 65 in each component.

Oxford Brookes’ India guidance contains board-specific English conditions, so applicants should not rely on a school-English waiver without written confirmation.

Source: Oxford Brookes University official English language requirements.

  • Book the test whose scale you can report accurately because Oxford Brookes lists separate TOEFL rules before and after 21 January 2026.
  • Keep every IELTS or PTE component at the required floor because the overall score alone does not satisfy the course.
  • Check the official English requirements before booking a less common test or qualification.
Tip for Indian students: The 65% academic equivalence and English component floors should be checked together; submit transcripts and test evidence that satisfy both routes.

Oxford Brookes Computer Science Application 2027

Full-time international applicants can apply directly to Oxford Brookes, while the full-time route is also available through UCAS with institution code OXFD O66 and course code G403.

Part-time study is a separate live mode, so the timeline below uses the full-time September entry route and does not assume that its dates govern part-time applications.

Completed 2027 UCAS applications can be submitted from 1 September 2026, which gives applicants time to assemble academic records, references and English evidence.

Equal consideration closes on 13 January 2027 at 18:00 UK time, or 23:30 IST, so Indian applicants should finish uploads before the local cutoff.

Late applications can be made until 30 June 2027 at 18:00 UK time, or 22:30 IST, although availability can differ after the equal-consideration date.

The final published cycle date is 23 September 2027 at 18:00 UK time, or 22:30 IST, while UK time controls the portal cutoff.

UCAS decisions for applications received by the equal-consideration deadline are due by 12 May 2027, with applicant replies due by 2 June 2027.

These are central UCAS dates, whereas direct applicants should follow the university’s current offer instructions and any deadline stated in the application portal.

2027 UCAS Stages and Decision Dates

The timeline below uses the published 2027 UCAS framework, with UK time retained for source accuracy and IST added for Indian submission planning.

StagePublished date and timeApplicant meaning

Final cycle date23 September 2027 at 18:00 UK / 22:30 ISTLast published date, subject to course availability.

Oxford Brookes’ current international timeline gives a 31 July 2026 submission deadline for September 2026, but no September 2027 direct deadline is published.

Treat 13 January 2027 as the safer route for equal consideration and verify the direct-route closing date inside the university portal before relying on it.

What to Submit for Computer Science

Prepare academic transcripts, predicted or final Class XII results, English evidence, a personal statement and a reference through the route you select.

For UCAS, keep the personal statement focused on programming interest, mathematical readiness and the course’s practical curriculum because those details explain your preparation for the stated modules.

Select the sandwich option only if you intend to pursue the optional placement year, because the application option should match the course route and your fourth-year funding plan.

  • Use G403 and OXFD O66 exactly so UCAS routes the application correctly.
  • Submit by 13 January 2027 for equal consideration rather than relying on the later 30 June deadline.
  • Choose the sandwich option only when your funding plan covers £2,010 (INR 2.62 Lakhs) placement tuition and a fourth year in Oxford.
  • Keep the direct application route as a separate check because its 2027 closing date is unpublished.

Application tip: Submit the UCAS application by 13 January 2027 with G403 and OXFD O66, then use the offer letter to verify the direct route and deposit.

Oxford Brookes Computer Science Scholarships 2027

No September 2027 scholarship amount or deadline is published on the checked Oxford Brookes funding pages, so the budget should begin with the full international tuition.

The live funding page lists a £2,000 (INR 2.61 Lakhs) International Student Scholarship for September 2026, which is a prior-cycle reference rather than a confirmed 2027 award.

The prior-cycle award was for new full-time international undergraduate students paying overseas fees through private funding, with a deposit linked to the offer.

Its 2026 deposit cutoffs were 13 May, 7 July and 7 August 2026, and the award could not be carried forward after deferral.

The current 20% Alumni Discount Scheme may apply to international students progressing from an Oxford Brookes foundation course or returning after study abroad.

That discount is conditional and is not a general first-entry award for a Class XII applicant, so confirm the route in the offer process before reducing the tuition budget.

Prior-cycle scholarship context: the table uses the September 2026 award because no September 2027 amount or deadline is currently published.

Source: Oxford Brookes University International Student Scholarship for September entry.

  • Budget the 2027 course at the full £19,300 (INR 25.19 Lakhs) annual fee because the £2,000 (INR 2.61 Lakhs) award is unconfirmed.
  • Check whether the 20% Alumni Discount Scheme applies only after a Brookes foundation or prior study route because it is not a general first-entry award.
  • Put any deposit deadline into the funding calendar only after the 2027 offer letter states the required amount and date.

Scholarship reality: The 2027 award is unconfirmed, so treat the £19,300 (INR 25.19 Lakhs) annual fee as payable until a target-cycle offer confirms a reduction.

Oxford Brookes Computer Science Salary 2027

Course-specific Discover Uni data reports median earnings of £28,000 (INR 36.55 Lakhs) 15 months after graduation for graduates from 2021 to 2023.

The same course data reports median earnings of £34,000 (INR 44.38 Lakhs) three years after graduation. It reports £46,000 (INR 60.04 Lakhs) five years after graduation for the 2015 to 2017 graduate group.

The 15-month figure uses 20 respondents. The three-year and five-year figures use an older graduate group, so these outcomes show evidence rather than a starting-salary promise.

The Oxford Brookes course page separately cites an average of £29,000 (INR 37.85 Lakhs) within six months using a university-cited Unistats benchmark. It does not state a cohort or range.

Source: Discover Uni Oxford Brookes Computer Science course data and the official Oxford Brookes course page.

Discover Uni also reports 85% work and/or study 15 months after graduation, based on 10 respondents from 2022 to 2023. In a larger 2021 to 2023 dataset, 75% were in highly skilled work and 65% were information technology professionals.

The course page names previous students working at Microsoft, BP, the National Health Service and the UK Atomic Energy Authority. Named employment proves presence in the outcomes evidence, not a recruitment guarantee.

Return on Investment for Indian Applicants

Return on investment (ROI) should be tested against the calculated budget of £108,288 to £124,668 (INR 1.41 Crore to INR 1.63 Crore). Do not use the salary headline alone.

The calculation combines £57,900 (INR 75.57 Lakhs) tuition with 52-week Oxford living estimates. It excludes visa charges, flights, tax, loan interest and optional equipment.

  • Course-specific median earnings are £28,000 (INR 36.55 Lakhs) after 15 months, so test repayments against gross pay and a current UK tax calculation.
  • Discover Uni reports 85% work and/or study after 15 months from 10 respondents, so preserve an India-return plan if sponsorship does not materialise.
  • Adding the sandwich year costs £2,010 (INR 2.62 Lakhs) tuition, so choose it only when placement access and a fourth-year budget justify the extra time.
  • The Graduate Route gives 18 months for applications from 1 January 2027, so use that window to target eligible sponsored roles rather than assume indefinite UK work.

Take-home pay varies with tax, pension contributions and location, so use a current UK tax calculator when testing repayments from the published gross salary.

ROI reality: Outcomes are useful but small-sample, while the budget reaches INR 1.41 Crore to INR 1.63 Crore, so define a work or return plan before funding.

United Kingdom Visa for Oxford Brookes Computer Science 2027

Indian students need a UK Student visa for this full-time, on-campus degree.

The visa fee is £558 (INR 72,830) and the Immigration Health Surcharge is £776 (INR 1.01 Lakhs); verify current charges on the official Student visa guidance.

The Graduate Route is the UK’s post-study work permission and lasts 18 months for applications made on or after 1 January 2027. Check the official Graduate visa guidance for current application rules.

Because Oxford is outside London, the government maintenance requirement is £1,171 (INR 1.53 Lakhs) per month for up to nine months. The total is £10,539 (INR 13.76 Lakhs), separate from Oxford Brookes’ living-cost estimate.

  • The 18-month Graduate Route does not require sponsorship at application, so use it to target eligible roles while checking the Skilled Worker route.
  • Skilled Worker sponsorship normally uses £41,700 (INR 54.43 Lakhs) or the occupation’s going rate, so verify the relevant code before relying on an offer.
  • Settlement generally requires five qualifying years, so the Graduate Route is a transition window rather than a permanent-status route.
  • Undergraduate dependants are generally restricted, although a government-sponsored student exception may apply and should be verified against the visa rules.

Check Out: UK Student visa requirements

Visa reality: Government maintenance evidence is separate from Oxford’s £1,400 to £1,855 (INR 1.83 to INR 2.42 Lakhs) living estimate. Prepare both budgets for the 18-month transition window.

Oxford Brookes Computer Science fits an Indian applicant seeking a practical, accredited computing degree with an optional placement route and no required prior technical qualification. The programming, mathematics and systems sequence suits students ready for continuous assessment and a substantial annual workload. The material tradeoff is the calculated budget of INR 1.41 Crore to INR 1.63 Crore, alongside a scholarship cycle not published for September 2027. Submit by 13 January 2027 for UCAS equal consideration, then verify the offer, deposit and direct-application deadline.
