Bournemouth is a humble town with great flashes of colour and inspiration. It is the perfect place to study for those who desire more of a tranquil environment to focus on their studies conversely to ‘big city’ life. Being from a warm place myself, seeing the beach and feeling warm weather throughout some of the academic year brings flashes of nostalgia. Bournemouth uni lecturers are all accomplished individuals and from my experience, seem like they care about teaching and their interests. I have been challenged on several occasions at BU to think further as a student and a human. BU Campus is quite a small one with room for improvement, I say this as many other campuses in the UK seem quite more advanced than Bournemouth’s talbot campus at the moment. Nevertheless, this being said, BU is quite a new university and it is at quite a good level regarding that fact. Student support for employability is fantastic, however at times i feel there is not enough clarity or communication for the course/assessments between the university and the students, leaving some students lost.

All in class learning allows for intimate environments in which students can question lecturers and educate themselves in a simple manner. Contact with lecturers could be better as at times emails are unanswered and the window for meetings is rather small. The course allows for great opportunities in the music industry and properly equips you for it, the content as well is challenging but simultaneously interesting.

perfect location for students, nearby shops and nightlife, bus connections to university very easy, extremely safe as on lansdowne campus (student area.) Only problem is costly aspect.

Best - For music and sound production the facilities and content are incredible. The facilities are all new and the student union always have an event on a campus somewhere! Best - There are great work opportunities thanks to the student union and the business of Bournemouth. Worst - Unfortunately, the two campus' are quite far apart which means you have to get the bus to go between, meaning you have to pay. There is no free transport and it's usually a 15 min bus journey. One campus is around the town centre, but the other is a bit further out and that is where 80% of student life takes place

Best - the facilities are awesome and are all new Worst - unfortunately with only 8 studios, around assignment season as the entire course is doing their assignments it can be hard to book and find studio time Best - ex industry professionals bring real-world knowledge to the course Worst - for such a creative course it can sometimes be frustrating how much lecture time and report writing is involved Best & worst - all in person, 50% of the time hands on Best & worst - a lot of the work is down to you finding time and booking studios

It was definitely affordable - but this almost gave it a bad rep for being the cheapest and oldest building. Wifi was excellent and it's always nice having bills included so heating was no problem En-suite's, even in the value rooms Reception is open 24/7 so issues were dealt with in a timely manner Very easy to meet new people in communal spaces. Being near town centre, it made having a social life very accessible
