My university experience so far has been amazing, going to a new country with a new language doing the course I want and learning about other cultures is just amazing and exciting!

The facilities are amazing, every lab and seminar room are all in very good condition

The support offered by the uni is excellent, every teacher keeps reminding us that we can talk with them about anything that has been bothering us and might affect our school performance

Our Students' Union has a really big involvement within the uni, from the students fair, to the freshers week, everyone likes what they do.

The city is beautiful and young, you see teens everywhere hanging out and having fun

The Cyber security society

The university itself is very well equipped for my course's needs, the lectures are well organised and non-English speakers can easily understand the subjects

Most courses at Bournemouth University do have a placement after the 2nd year, we also have a careers centre and part-time fairs.

I started the course during lockdown, and finishing the course with classes being conducted face-to-face. This course has been great for me. I had a good experience with lecturers (who are always willing to help), lecture theatres, labs (both online and offline). Coming from a law background, I think that MSc Cyber security and human factors was very insightful. I learnt a lot in terms of the content of the area, technical skills and writing skills. And academically, I have done well. I was looking for a challenge and the course meets my expectation. Bournemouth is a nice place, to which Bournemouth University (BU) is an asset. The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful seaside and wonderful scenery, all inspire you to do your best, whether it is academically or personally. I feel honoured to have been at BU. The friends made on the course was made online (through their Facebook page and others at the start of the course through emails and group discussion). As we moved to face-to-face, I was happy to meet some of my friends while I am yet to meet others. As I am currently doing my project, I have not met all my friends, although we are in touch. I am hopeful to meet all my friends and lecturers by graduation. All in all, I have had a very good experience studying at BU. Only one critique I have is that for Term 2, when BU went face-to-face teaching and BU abruptly asking all student to come (from wherever they were) to attend physical classes. I think the transition could have been more smoothly by incorporating online and face-to-face learning. That said, I was grateful that lectures were recorded and made available online. However, labs were not online at all. I understand that labs cannot be recorded, but BU could have made labs available through a live link for students willing (but unable to attend) to join the class and enhance their learning. This should have been done at a management level. Now that everything is back to normal, this is no longer an issue. But I would like the University to consider this point for the benefit of its students for the future. Maybe even helping distance learning students on the course. What an asset will that be!

Online teaching was great. I loved the experience. Lecturers were accessible, and could be contacted easily. They were pro-active, and answered fast.
