What students say

BSc (Hons) Psychology with Placement

The facilities are very convenient and above all the staff faculty is friendly, helpful and understanding. They care deeply for their students and are informative on any cause. One area that I would appreciate improvement n are the accessibility services of the student supermarkets and food courts. If they could include the use of cash for purchase that would be highly appreciated. Furthermore, the clubs and societies should allow free membership rather than a paid membership.

BSc (Hons) Psychology with Placement

The university have been incredibly supportive of me as a mature student returning to education after over a decade away from academia. I haven't got much experience of student life as a postgraduate yet, but I wish we could get more support financially, such as a government maintenance loan to support our studies.

The university itself feels very homey and what makes it feel this way is the decor and even the kitchen in subu and the houses to sit and study in in subu.

BSc (Hons) Psychology with Placement

The best part of my uni experience has been the sense of community and the opportunities to explore new ideas—professors are approachable, clubs are welcoming, and there’s always something happening that sparks curiosity. On the flip side, navigating bureaucracy can be frustrating at times, and some facilities could use a bit of an upgrade. Overall, it’s a place where learning goes beyond the classroom, and small improvements could make it even better.

Best aspects: The university offers a supportive learning environment with approachable, knowledgeable lecturers and engaging course content that links theory to real-world practice. There is a strong sense of community among students, and access to learning resources is very good. Areas for improvement: Communication around deadlines, placements, and administrative processes could be clearer and more consistent. Earlier information and more streamlined systems would help reduce stress and improve the overall student experience.

The best thing about this university is the city. The city is pretty and beautiful. However, the university campus is boring.

BSc (Hons) Psychology with Placement

Bournemouth University has a very friendly, upbeat and positive attitude towards student studies. There is a very real sense of community with a wide range of clubs and societies as well as ample opportunities for students to connect and make friends. The only way in which the masters course could be improved is the spacing out of teaching of more complex models within the year timeframe instead of the condensing of particularly complex materials over 2 months of the year.
