BA (Hons) Tourism Management

I chose BU in the first place on the recommendation of friends who studied here before, my own research and BU’s excellent reputation. After two years of study, I am very pleased that I chose wisely.

The study experience here is very enjoyable. There are many different nationalities. The societies run by overseas students provide lots of activities, to both British and international students, which is definitely a good opportunity to explore new things and experiences. The support from academic tutors and the International Office is very helpful too.

My course is Tourism Management and working in the tourism industry for my placement is crucial. It is a fantastic opportunity to work in the real world, gaining valuable experience, which will be a great advantage for my future studies and career.

Overall, I am very glad that I can study and live here, not only because the wonderful environment of the University but also the diversity of the town. The mix of nationalities gives a real insight into different cultures and languages.

After completing my course I hope to work in the UK for one or two years to gain more work experience from the tourism industry, then take a Masters degree in Tourism.

Hui Zhong

BA (Hons) International Business Communication (Top-up)

BU is a very friendly university. It is located beside the sea and the climate is wonderful. It has a great library where I spend alot of time. The environment of the University is quite nice and life in Bournemouth is a fantastic experience.

The course which I am studying now is great as it gives me the opportunity to get a British Bachelor’s Degree in one year. The course covers language and also business subjects, such as International Marketing Management, International Human Resource Management and Corporate Financial Management etc. During this one year study, I learnt how to think in a critical way and to always ask “why” and “why not” before I accept the ideas presented to me. Furthermore, through doing all my assignments, I gained a British studying style and am more independence in my studying.

One of the benefits of studying at BU is to meet people from different countries and to understand and learn about different cultures, because the development makes us to work and communicate together. I have made a lot of friends from different countries since coming to BU.

My favourite thing about BU is the International Office who organise day trips to other cities or towns frequently. It is great for us international students to know more about the country and the British culture.
