Honestly surprising how budget friendly this accommodation is, that it still exceeded my expectations. The rooms are comfortable and spacious enough, the staff is always available and super friendly! It offers you everything you need for an affordable price, honestly wouldnt trade this place for another! Location to the campuses and beach and other venturing sites are super convenient which makes socialising so much easier with all these fun places to go to. read more

talbot campus is okay with lots of study spaces, however the gateway building is not a great place to study in, there's very few spaces to sit and complete work without hiring a whole room. staff are nice enough. there's not a huge amount of societies and the ones that are there are relatively similar. have to pay to join a sports society and have to be competitive level which is annoying if you just want to have some fun and stay fit. read more

A lot of people rolled their eyes and told me I'd be better off elsewhere than going to Bournemouth, but I'm very glad I stuck with my decision. For my journalism course, the facilities are exceptional, always being updated and definitely some of the best to offer. Obviously I can't speak on other courses, but it is exceptipnal for journalism and media students. read more

I think Bournemouth University is a great uni with a really friendly environment. Thanks to the small-sized campus, it feels like a close-knit community where everyone knows each other. One of the things I love most is the close relationships you can build with the lecturers. It reminds me of being back at school, where the support feels personal, and you’re not just another number. The clubs and societies here are amazing, and I’m proud to be part of the biggest one— the Surf Club. Joining it has genuinely changed me as a person. It’s not just about surfing; it’s about the friendships, the sense of belonging, and the opportunities to try something new. Between the campus vibe and the experiences I’ve had here, Bournemouth has been an incredible place to study and grow. read more

The university provides many clubs and societies ranging from sports and course specific societies to gaming societies. Course specific societies are very useful for communicating with others who have similar interests. I am part of the Sociology society which encompasses all of the social sciences students and have enjoyed going to the ABBA night at the student union club the Old Fire Station and going to bars as well as attending their study sessions. The student union advocate for student voice by recruiting voluntary student representatives from each course. I am a student representative for Sociology and Criminology and my role is to gather the feedback from my peers on my course and report this to the university in order to make positive change. The university value the opinions of students because they have first hand experience of the university. I think the university are successful in promoting student voice. read more

Trouble is reviews about Bournemouth Uni are based largely on what a great time ppl had at the beach . Scriptwriting MA. Don't waste your money. You have to attend lectures which will be on no use to you whatsoever. Semester 2 was a complete waste of time- Approaches to Industry is a unit that should be delivered in the library for those who feel they might benefit. It should not be on the curriculum but instead they waste your time showing you how to use Linked In when that time should be spent on your chosen area of study. Tip. Just go to the library and ask them to help with your CV instead of sitting in a 3 hour lecture every week. The lectures the whole cohort attend together are of no benefit to writers.and are directed at the other disciplines. The course was badly structured, a third of the class did not speak English and lectures were badly delivered.. Teach yourself..I'ts what you will do anyway. Save yourself the stress and disappointment. Just buy a copy of Syd Field, read more

MOSTLY SELF LEARNING, LECTURERS DO NOT TEACH. MA Scriptwriting is badly structured that you barely learn from your lecturers, instead your teacher can be a google. You can be a part of somebody's Phd research without your consent. They may use you as a guinea pig. While talking to Dee( lecturer) about collaborative shooting short film problems, I got the response "Shut Up."It is necessary to question how correct an approach in the academic field is a language that cannot control one's temper and exceeds the limits of respect When I told Phil(lecturer) that I was still learning and that I was not a screenwriter, he said, "There's the Door." He implied that you can go out. Lecturers need to control their nerves when talking to students. A style that reaches the level of "Shut Up" is never suitable for the academic field. read more
