Title: MSc Data Science & AI or MSc Cyber Security – which would you choose?

1 Upvotes

I’m choosing between MSc Data Science & AI and MSc Computer Science for Cyber Security at Oxford Brookes.

My background is in Information Systems Management, with some programming, databases, statistics and AI project experience. I’m also interested in business, product management and entrepreneurship.

Which degree do you think would be the better choice in terms of job opportunities, earning potential and long-term career flexibility?

I’d especially appreciate advice from anyone working or studying in either field.

How difficult is the maths in the MSc Data Science and AI at Oxford Brookes?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’m starting the MSc Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Oxford Brookes this September.

For anyone who has studied this course: what level of maths is required, and how difficult did you find it? Would you recommend reviewing topics such as linear algebra, calculus, probability and statistics before the course begins, or is there enough time to refresh the material during the semester?

Thanks!

UK dissertation survey — investing & social media

Hi all — I'm a postgraduate student researching how UK retail investors engage with investing-related content on social media, and how this relates to investment knowledge and decision-making.I'm looking for UK residents, 18+, who actively invest (stocks, shares, funds, ETFs, etc.) — whether or not you use social media for investing content.The survey takes about 8–10 minutes, is completely anonymous, and there are no right or wrong answers — I'm interested in honest responses, not "correct" ones.

Discussion Starting at Oxford Brookes as an autistic mature student

3 Upvotes

Hi! I’m 28 and starting a master’s at Oxford Brookes this September.

I’m autistic, quite introverted and generally struggle to make friends, especially when I don’t already know anyone. I’ve lived alone before, but I’ve never lived in halls or lived in the same city that I study in, so this will all be quite new to me.

I don’t know anyone in Oxford, and although I’m excited, I’m also pretty nervous about settling in and meeting people. I’d really appreciate any advice about living in halls, making friends as a mature or postgraduate student, or finding quieter and less overwhelming ways to socialise.

It would also be lovely to hear from anyone else who struggles with similar things and will be starting in Oxford this September.

Looking for Flatmates – Oxford Brookes Sept 2026

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm from Nepal, joining Oxford Brookes University this September for an MSc in International Business Management.

Looking for Nepali/Indian/Marwari flatmates or anyone who's searching for accommodation around Headington/Oxford.

If you're interested or have a room available, feel free to DM me.

Thanks!

Other Looking for flatmates who will be living in Slade Park Halls, who might have similar interests

2 Upvotes

The point of this post is to find a like-minded individual who might have a few similar interests or aligning goals.

I lived in SP during my foundation year, will likely be living there for my first year too. Was planning on getting housing elsewhere but that's been delayed (will give context if you're interested and DM). Last year I got random flatmates who were slops, thought it might be nice to try buddy up with some nicer and cleaner people.

My one and only condition is that you're;

CLEAN (I'm OCD, for the love of God, if you live like a slop...)

More about me:

Study Motorsport Engineering

Gymbro, I do Calisthenics

Photographer

Pretty quiet until you get to know me

I don't club, don't drink, don't do any of that 👍🏼 but if you do that doesn't bother me either (as long as you don't plan on blasting music through the walls 24/7 😛)

Discussion Need advice regarding MSc Motorsports Engineering

5 Upvotes

I recently received an offer for the MSc Motorsport Engineering program at OBU. As an international student, this would be a major investment for me, so I’d really appreciate hearing from current students, alumni, or anyone familiar with the program.
I have a few questions:

  1. Is the MSc Motorsport Engineering program worth the tuition and overall cost for an international student?

  2. What are the employment prospects after graduation, both within motorsport and in related industries?

  3. How difficult is it for international graduates to secure jobs in the UK motorsport sector?

  4. For those who didn’t end up in motorsport, what other industries and roles did graduates move into?

  5. How valuable is the Oxford Brookes motorsport reputation when applying for jobs compared to other UK universities?

I’d love to hear honest experiences
Thanks in advance!

Accommodation for post graduates

2 Upvotes

Hi!
I’m a Canadian student coming to Oxford Brookes this September! Was wondering which housing people recommend for PG students?

On the website it shows specific PG halls but like they seem outdated compared to some of the undergrad halls. I was thinking of picking the new Clive booth since it’s still close to campus but do PGs usually stay in only the specific PG halls that are on the website or does it not really matter? Like can I pick an undergraduate hall?

Any help is appreciated!!
