What makes us different

Location

Bournemouth town is right on the seafront – the beach is a five-minute walk from the centre. You’ll find it has a good mix of department stores and independent boutique shops, along with food from around the world that will be tempting you into bars, restaurants, cafes and coffee shops.

Sand between your toes, time spent with friends, trying new sports and hobbies, making great memories – it’s all here waiting for you.

Job prospects

We work closely with employers, practitioners and professional organisations. With placement options available on every undergraduate course, we pride ourselves on supporting our students to gain real experience and develop the skills employers seek.

Accommodation

There are lots of great accommodation options available. You'll be connected with a supportive community through ResLifeBU - a unique programme within BU accommodation to help welcome you and support your transition into uni life and start making amazing memories.

University isn't just about getting a degree or living the high life of a student, it's also about growing into the person you're supposed to be. I am glad I went to BU and learnt how to live on my own and discover who I really am.
