MSc Psychology

University rating (5)

The best part about Uni is its accepting nature - it warmly welcomes all students regardless of their color, orientation, impairments, etc. The opportunities provided by SUBU are enormous and lead the way for many great experiences throughout student life. I have been at BU for two months, and I'm finding quite a lot of things fascinating. A factor to be improved is how SportsBU can be more welcoming to people of color. The majority of students engaged in sports are of a certain race and it often feels as if people of color - especially international students - do not fit in.

Adult Nursing (with Foundation Year) BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

I have really enjoyed my experience so far at Bournemouth University. Considering this is my first university as an adult, I couldn’t be more satisfied and relieved to be at university that has opportunities for each of their students, as well as various resources that aid students to adjust in their courses, uni life and accommodation. I’ve come across very some helpful staff who all seem to be proud of the university which makes me proud to be at BU. My only issue is in regards to accommodation, apparently the university changed its rule that second year students cannot rent in halls anymore, however, this change was not communicated to many students. my classmates and I were the ones to chase this up to get clarification. As much as I love the SUBU building, it would be nice if big indoor events were done somewhere else within the university with plenty of space. Also food being served at these events should be served from steel pans with a lid, it was nice tasting food, but it’s not nice thinking about the amount of people who talked over the food. A better interactive map that can be viewed easily from the BU website, as a new student, I’m still finding it difficult finding buildings within campus as the map is not easily accessible from the website. P.S. it helps that there’s a beach nearby to enjoy when uni life gets stressful or you want to just relax and enjoy the beauty of Bournemouth.

MA Creative Writing and Publishing

University rating (4)

Professors are very friendly, and they try to help you in every aspect. They can improve on making it more friendly for international students, by giving a full tour on where we can find which help, how to access the library, or any service as I feel that me being international student even after 6 months, I am noy=t aware of certain services as others.

Biological Sciences BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

The facilities for my field are quite good and are maintained by really helpful technicians and staff. However the Uni is quite in the middle of nowhere meaning you have to buy food on campus or bring some in as their food is quite expensive.

Great location and lots of push for inclusion and student involvement. Timetable is often spread out inconveniently though which makes balancing uni and jobs more difficult.

Forensic Investigation BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

It’s a great place to study as there is a lot of resources given to ensure you are on top of your studies. As well as this the app pulse allows lecturers to effectively communicate with us students. Because of this communication we won’t miss out on key areas of the course. However, some seminars are typically quiet and unhelpful. I’d rather it be set up so students can let teachers know areas of concern and that can be addressed then.

MSc Organisational Project Management

University rating (4)

Nearly everything is so great. The facilities are for everyone and the security is upgraded every time. Supporting students on time and always replying to the requirements so fast (in 3 working days). The locations of the two campuses are near the town centre and public transportation. Love it and enjoy the time here.
