We are always happy to welcome students from Turkey onto our undergraduate, postgraduate, research and top-up courses. 

We are partnered with the Turkish Ministry of National Education to financially support BU master's and postgraduate research students. BU contributes 20% of your tuition fees if you are in receipt of a government scholarship from the Turkish Embassy Education Counsellor's Office

We’re home to a large community of international students – currently 1,600 students from around 135 different countries. If you decide to join us, you’ll benefit from a career-focused course, a diverse and inclusive community and a fantastic location on the south coast of England – all of which contributes to an enriching student experience.

Study in a stunning coastal location

Bournemouth’s seaside location means that you’re never far away from the peace and quiet of a seaside walk without having to compromise on living in a vibrant and fun town.

With a population of around 200,000, the town is big enough so that there’s always something interesting happening, but small enough that you can feel at home here.

During the summer, Bournemouth enjoys almost eight hours of sunshine a day on average – amongst the highest in the UK. It’s one of the many reasons why Bournemouth is one of the UK’s most popular holiday destinations; every summer around 3.5 million people choose to visit us.

What’s more, Bournemouth is home to a number of dynamic businesses in the creative, financial and tourism sectors, offering great employment opportunities for students and graduates.
