Bournemouth University - BU (reviews)

The location is superb, with great modern IT equipment and in depth courses covering the IT engineering. The support for students is what really stood out for me and they make you feel like you had the support needed when you need it.

I enjoyed the university, it had decent lecturers the campus was nice, they built a new student building and it was ready for my final year. It was a nice building, it had multiple transport options to get to and from uni. They had cheap breakfast. The halls of residence was decent. My only complaint is that one of them was a whole town away in Poole and unfortunately that’s where i ended up in my first year. It meant we had to travel quite far to get to and from uni as well as to get to any of the nightclubs in Bournemouth city center. After a night out we would have to share a taxi with literally anyone else going back to that halls of residence even if we’d never spoken a single word to them. The nightlife was pretty good too

Positive – very helpful with assignments and looking for internships/placements
Very helpful with setting up talks regarding life after university and job roles. I am interested in roles in Media and the university have been very helpful in assisting me in looking for internships for the summer

Doing a production course, such as media, TV, or movie production, gives you access to the university’s expansive equipment catalog. We are not only trained but encouraged to use industry-standard equipment, which is lent to us in confidence. We are treated like adults with the equipment and equipment spans so far from just, types of cameras, we are able to use equipment from all areas of production
