Read Bournemouth University (BU) Reviews
A lot of people rolled their eyes and told me I'd be better off elsewhere than going to Bournemouth, but I'm very glad I stuck with my decision. For my journalism course, the facilities are exceptional, always being updated and definitely some of the best to offer. Obviously I can't speak on other courses, but it is exceptipnal for journalism and media students.
gym is absolutely horrendous and even more criminal to have to pay for it, minimal societies
bournemouth university is a great uni with amazing staff who support students in many aspects. the social life is great on and off campus and support with assignments and mental health is phenomenal
Good, clean, helpful staff around
The university is overall a good place to study, learn and to attend social gatherings.
Good university, happy that i chose this one
There are lots of societies to join and the staff at the university are very helpful and respond quickly to any issues.
Bournemouth University has provided an exceptional academic and personal journey. The quality of teaching is outstanding, with lecturers who bring real-world industry knowledge to the classroom. The focus on employability through placements and practical experience has equipped me with valuable skills for my future career. The campus offers modern facilities, and the stunning location by the beach adds to the overall experience. With strong student support and a vibrant community, Bournemouth University is the ideal place to thrive academically and personally.
I think Bournemouth University is a great uni with a really friendly environment. Thanks to the small-sized campus, it feels like a close-knit community where everyone knows each other. One of the things I love most is the close relationships you can build with the lecturers. It reminds me of being back at school, where the support feels personal, and you’re not just another number. The clubs and societies here are amazing, and I’m proud to be part of the biggest one— the Surf Club. Joining it has genuinely changed me as a person. It’s not just about surfing; it’s about the friendships, the sense of belonging, and the opportunities to try something new. Between the campus vibe and the experiences I’ve had here, Bournemouth has been an incredible place to study and grow.
The university provides many clubs and societies ranging from sports and course specific societies to gaming societies. Course specific societies are very useful for communicating with others who have similar interests. I am part of the Sociology society which encompasses all of the social sciences students and have enjoyed going to the ABBA night at the student union club the Old Fire Station and going to bars as well as attending their study sessions. The student union advocate for student voice by recruiting voluntary student representatives from each course. I am a student representative for Sociology and Criminology and my role is to gather the feedback from my peers on my course and report this to the university in order to make positive change. The university value the opinions of students because they have first hand experience of the university. I think the university are successful in promoting student voice.
