Located on the south coast of England, Bournemouth University is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty less than two hours from central London by train. We are a green, safe and friendly town welcoming students from many countries.

Famous for its seven-mile stretch of award-winning sandy beaches, the town is also a thriving hub for a number of industries including the creative, financial and tourism sectors. The New Forest National Park is on our doorstep and the Jurassic Coast (which is a World Heritage site) is just a short drive away.

What our students and alumni say

Studying at Bournemouth University is one of the best decisions I made. I had the chance to learn first-hand from the notable lecturers in their fields and build professional skills from enormous resources and support from the university.

This course has allowed me to extend my knowledge regarding practical conditions for each of the modules. The nature of diversity is also very strong in BU particularly in my class.

Studying at BU has been the best experience in my life as it allows me to explore new knowledge and new opportunities, culture, and environment. I had the chance to expand my skills through a wide range of support and resources from the university.

CareersBU has provided me with a lot of support during my time as a student, and currently as a graduate. They have regular workshops and seminars based on career development, job opportunities, and current news about working in the UK.
