I couldn’t have chosen a better university. The university is excellent. Lecturers are enthusiastic, stimulating and engaging. I think it’s important to note that none of the staff are striking, which really highlights how much they care about our learning. Only negative side to studying at Bournemouth is that the accommodations are more expensive than other universities (£6000+ cheapest).

The university was boring, basic and a waste of money. This is more specified to my course which I understand but there were too many students on the course which they clearly didn’t know how to control. The lessons were spread out in uneven ways and felt like a waste of time when attending anyway. Some tutors were good but others were terrible and clearly lack any creativity themselves. Overall the experience was disappointing and ultimately a waste of time and money.

It's a good uni, does the job but nothing special. My course is absolutely fabulous (multimedia journalism) and TV production is good but I would not recommend coming here for any other course. I would highly recommend the journalism course if you want to be ready for industry. I've enjoyed my time at BU, the beach is great despite being packed in the summer, my course has been fabulous and I even got to go on study exchange. BU make placement compulsory, you are expected to sort this out yourself which can be challenging. There's always space in the library, there's an (expensive) pub on campus and it's nice to be by the beach. There's no fancy end of year ball/black tie dinner but a day festival ran by the SU in summer which is fun. Bournemouth is a town, which for me got boring pretty fast. The shops are so bad and there's barely any independent cafes. The uni is full of people from surrey, barely any diversity, the nightlife is pretty dull apart from the odd event.

Generally the uni is a very open, welcoming place. Plenty of clubs and societies to choose from, despite the fact I joined and didn’t attend any meetings lol! Lecturers are all helpful and willing to assist on coursework. We had ice breaker activities to make friends which was really helpful, especially in my course which is film- where you need to make “allies”. Lots of places to study on campus too.

Bournemouth University is a brilliant university to study and develop. The Dorset area is rich with amazing sights, and things to do for any student. The Talbot campus is wonderful, with a massive variety of courses, facilities, clubs to be apart of. 9/10

BU gives more importance to students and their well-being. Clubs and Societies are really active in the university.

This uni is awful. Do not pick here I wish I never did. Cannot stand it no student support at all. No uniform for placement absolute joke.

I like the american campus feel, its great in the summer! The new buildings have been an awesome addition. The student union is good, night club is the best thing about it. Dylan's (Student Bar) serves a purpose, but ive been to better student union bars.

Yeah decent. Everything there is really expensive, but they aren't ever going to change that as all universities are about profit over education.

Haven’t been on campus in about a year I feel like I’ve had no support and just been shouted at for not having my camera on in zoom. I feel like I’m paying £9250 to be abused by lecturers. However first year was good while on campus.

The campus is great and has many facilities. Some lecturers and staff are good but some are apathetic and did not aid me when I requested help. Condesendending the word of choice here. No matter if a student is a few weeks behind because of personal health reasons, help should be given. A plethora of clubs and societies here to join, great selection. Student Union are great as well as the careers people. Internet works as intended but nothing great

Studied game design. State of the art facilities were built for games and animation, just before we were all barred from uni due to the lock down. Hope you like curved monitors. Staff are extremely friendly.
