MA Marketing Communications
I love how the university gives us lots of opportunities to give out to use while we are studying. To gain confidence and skills before heading out of the world of full time work. The facilities at Bournemouth University are very good. And easy access. For those who struggle with work, for example myself, the DSA team are a great team of people to help students with their work and to lead them in the right direction. I also love the student life and getting involved as much as I can before graduation next year. I want a purpose when I come to uni. Not just go studying but I want to gain more friends/ experience/ as well as finding the opportunities to find myself as an individual

The university has a really welcoming atmosphere, largely thanks to the lecturers, especially within the marketing department. They are approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping students understand and apply what they’re learning. The campus itself is well structured, easy to navigate, and visually pleasant, which makes spending long days there feel comfortable rather than draining. There are also plenty of cozy, quiet spots around campus that are ideal for studying, reading, or working independently. One area that could be improved is the food offering, particularly at Fusion. While it’s convenient, the quality and variety could be better, especially for students who spend long hours on campus and rely on it regularly. Improving the food options would greatly enhance the overall student experience.

There’s a lot of spaces to sit and study. There is also a lot of cafes where you can easily buy something to eat. Everything is good as it is

Bournemouth is such a wonderful place to live and study. Being near the beach, but within reach of London is so cool. I did my BA and Masters at BU, and have now returned for my PhD because I love the learning environment here - really interdisciplinary, I'm an anthropologist with a masters in international law and moving between faculties and disciplines to enrich and broaden my research is easy and exciting. I really love my colleagues here. Definitely 5 stars!

Best aspects - scenic location, library, Café aroma, curricular projects, opportunity to opt for placement year. Worst aspects - many accessible restrooms have room for improvement, the back to back timetabling of classes, the expensive prices of food.

The worst for me is feeling like I'm on my own when doing assignments. Things are getting harder and I don't know where to go when I need help or just to relax. However, everything else is amazing. I love being at uni and I love the experiences
