When you study to become a healthcare professional, you commit to making a lasting difference to people’s lives – and we’re committed to offering the best environment for you to flourish in your studies.
That’s why we invest in state-of-the-art facilities that mirror professional settings to provide hands-on learning that’ll prepare you for your new career – from practice wards to our maternity suite, ambulance and nutrition lab.
To complement these settings, we’ve also forged strong links with local and national healthcare providers, as well as community organisations and private practices. This means our students benefit from placements that set them up for career success, with high employment rates across all our courses in this area.
With a brand-new £42 million building set to open in 2020, now is a great time to join BU and start your journey towards a career in healthcare.

“We interact a lot with our local trust... At BU, it’s a bit like a three-year job interview and by the time you finish, a trust has a very good idea of what you are like as a person and your level of performance.”
