Sexual consent education course

Sexual consent education

Student support and wellbeing

At Oxford Brookes University, we are committed to building an inclusive, safe and respectful culture both on and off campus, and we expect everyone in our community to play their part.

Consent matters.

Consent is a topic that affects everyone. It's important to understand consent and feel confident applying it, so we can keep ourselves and other people safe.

That’s why, as a student at Oxford Brookes, you’ll need to complete the sexual consent education course at the beginning of each academic year. 

Sexual consent education course

This course supports you to:

  • talk about consent with partners
  • understand the gender norms, stereotypes and cultural factors which may affect someone's ability to consent, as well as what the law says
  • know what to do if you or a friend experiences harassment or violence.
