Getting started
Brightspace - your Virtual Learning Environment
Brightspace will be essential to you throughout your time as BU student with information about your course, timetable, events and activities as well as access to your BU email.
Getting around campus
Find your way around with our Talbot and Lansdowne Campus maps, as well as our getting around campus webpage which includes information about building names and room numbers.
We advise not to bring your car to university and instead to make use of the excellent cycle, bus and rail networks in the area. You can find out more about your travel options on our services on campus webpage.
Finance, fees and funding
Make sure you’ve thought about living expenses, budgeting and setting up a UK bank account if you’re arriving from overseas. There’s lots of financial support available and if you’re ever struggling, our AskBU team is here to help.
You may also want to find out more about fees and funding for arriving students in the form of student loans, bursaries, scholarships or sponsorship.
IT systems & support
BU students have access to a wide range of IT facilities, tools, services and support. This page should give you all the information you need to get started and to make the most of them.
