The location and the staff are very knowledgeable and the science facilities are great

The course is good. Some long days and a one year masters is a bit stressful on top of course assessments. They course staff are great and work with you as much as possible

No

For what Bournemouth lacks in name it makes up for it with the great student support and environment of the university. Every staff member and facilities are easy to access or talk to. The career hub is super useful and honestly a massive positive, not to mention the very efficient medical center and student union finance support team for students. The bursaries are generous in my opinion and I honestly could not have made it otherwise. The pastoral care is unmatched in my opinion. Safety on campus is great. the student union always has stuff going on, ALWAYS, like a bread and bakery stall on some mornings, lots of international events too, being from France it made me feel quite at home at time. The teaching isn't awful, not the best either, maybe it's my course, but the option and units are interesting. The university reputation is average at best, but like I said they make up for it in other ways. The area is nice, it's a student town, with the beach, I personally like it, and the transport system is very very reliable and efficient.

My personal tutor was unreachable. I know it wasn't the case for everyone though. The units are interesting, the options varied, the first year archaeological dig they made us do was a great thing to get acquainted with the discipline which I thought is something that really makes the university have an edge in the subject. But the way it was managed was a mess. Courses are mostly in person, rarely cancelled, lecturers are super nice and helpful and most of all passionate and engaged!

The location was super convenient, bus stop nearby. The room itself was small, the common areas a little shabby, and it cost, in my opinion, too much for what it was. But the staff was always quick to help and lovely. There was no safety issue, apart from rowdy students coming back from nights out.
