PhD - Faculty of Media, Science and Technology

Bournemouth University

I had really great support from staff from my day one, which was a week later than the normal start due to unexpected delays. Got settled in right away and had access to available teams (in person and online) who helped a lot with everything. To be honest the university campus is bit out of the way and students with families have little support in relation to booking university accommodation facilities, however, the university bus routes are great and for accommodation student just need a little bit more planning to make everything smoother.

Perfect location and staff! Supportive environment. Special events for international students might improve experience at Uni!

The university does really seem to care for it's students, but is let down slightly by some of the courses and staff. It seems to focus primarily on the student experience rather than the academic enrichment, so it's personal preference as to which you prefer.
