- Connect with students who’ll be living in halls or commuting to uni
- Chat about your interests, hobbies, and what you’re most excited about
- Share tips on preparing for uni and settling in
- Learn more about Bournemouth and student life at BU
- Ask questions and ease any pre-university nerves
- Feel part of the BU community from day one
How to join?
Offer holders will receive an email invitation. Click Join now in the email (or use the link below) to open the app store (TAP Future Students) and create your account using the same email address the invitation was sent to.
Please access the community on a mobile device only. You must join via the invitation link, downloading the app alone will not grant access, as the BU Online Community uses a unique access link.
Before you get started, take a moment to read the pinned rules in each group. Remember to only click links shared by BU Student Ambassadors or Admin, as these are the official ones. Be cautious when clicking links to websites that are not official BU pages.
