Bournemouth University (BU) is a public university in Bournemouth. The main campus is located in Poole. BU was established in 1992. Ever since its foundation, Bournemouth University has been an excellent institution of higher education. Speaking of- the university was a finalist for two prizes in British higher education (“University of the Year” and “Research Project of the Year”). The school was known for its professional courses, but since 2000, the focus has been research. Today, 16 000 students are enrolled in programmes at Bournemouth University, among those are 1 500 international students, making the campus a multicultural learning environment. The university has highly qualified teachers. Students receive an outstanding education and are able to gain insider knowledge through internships and study abroad (at one of the many of Bournemouth University’s many academic partners) throughout their studies. The university gained fame and recognizance because of its work in the media industries. Its Centre for Excellence in Media Practice (CEMP) is renowned. Graduates have worked on numerous Hollywood films. BU offers undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing professional development courses, as well as foundation degrees and top-up degrees. Many BU Alumni are living abroad and found work quickly after graduating as they were well-equipped for high-level employment
I enjoyed studying at BU. Facilities were good. My course (Masters) was a bit mixed: some of it was excellent, some of it seemed like filler. The staff were mostly good. Great campus and overall I can recommend.
View moreThe university was always improving and building new facilities. The lectures were fairly engaging but lab work felt like an afterthought and the usefulness of it was not always articulated well. But overall it was an enjoyable university, plenty going on with social clubs ect.
View moreThe 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.
View moreI 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

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
