My experience in the last two years has been far from the generic student experience however, I couldn’t picture myself in any other town or at any other university. My course has a small tight knit cohort, the course leader is supportive and shares encouragement in abundance. Our optional units are engaging, we have a lot of field work opportunities which have recently started up again as they were halted throughout the pandemic. They have tried their best throughout teaching online, not everything has gone to plan but it is trial and error and they put in place a no detriment policy as well as granting extensions for those in need. The placement fund helps make a year in industry more accessible, my placement officer is a true gem! She’s so helpful! Completing a placement is great before graduating as it helps get you ahead and make contacts. BU is very geared up for making you employable and have opportunities to study abroad and apply for scholarships, I’ve been lucky enough to have two. The overall area is great, lots to do, a nice coastal town with a student vibe. Overall so far so good!

Talbot Campus is really nice, two new modern buildings and SUBU building is nice.

Think more could have been done throughout the pandemic to support us.

The course leader is absolutely brilliant despite the covid 19 circumstances he has been really helpful. He is our number one support and makes sure to check in with us regularly.

Access to internships, placement years, scholarships, training, webinars etc
