Jon Snow Chancellor Oxford Brookes University can trace its roots back to 1865 with the foundation of the Oxford School of Art. In 1928 the visionary John Brookes was appointed as Vice-Principal. The institution developed to offer new areas of study such as architecture, sciences and catering; establishing itself as Oxford's only polytechnic. In 1992, under government legislation, the polytechnic became Oxford Brookes University. Since this date we have continued to enjoy outstanding success.
