This university is really awful. The student union harasses you, where they come into your face to tell you information even though you are clearly trying to just get by without being 'bothered'. This university is not for an A, B or C student - it will offer you no progress. It accepts students that have received DDD at A Level, meaning that the community really does not want to learn. This acceptance scheme or process is unfair for the students that did not achieve the required entry for BU, because it is evident they will not succeed at university level if they could not handle the A level workload. There is no community feel within the departments and teachers teach you where you can reap the effects of the 'contract' you go into with a university- I.O.W the teachers treat the teaching as a delivery of information rather than explanations and .. welll ... teaching. My exams, we were given a textbook and told four of the topics of our examination-I felt no challenge.
Teaching is rubbish and marking very strict. I did my Undergraduate degree at Southampton and it was a much better university with better predictability and the lecturers knew more
Some clubs and societies are really expensive but the students spaces are really good, food is so yummy and not over priced, loads of places to get drinks and bar on site is always handy
Lots of fit girls. Would recommend.
If you are on the Lansdowne Campus you've been robbed and told lies at open day.. I was taken to Talbot Campus thinking I would be there and I sadly aren't.. It's a old rubbish building that's been there for 50+ years.
everything here is so good, there are so many people to help with everything and it’s easy to work out where everything is
Bournemouth University, categorised into two main campuses - Talbot Campus and Lansdowne Campus, located on the southern coast of England, is one of the renowned reputed institutions for the quality of education and opportunities. BU is the first university in the UK to receive a commended status awarded by the Quality Assurance Agency ( QAA) and also bagged the Eco Campus Platinum Award. They have number of clubs,societies,services and events for us to engage throughout the study. The eminent faculties, facilities and aesthetics and the beautiful location - all make it ideal for me and helps me bring out the best in me. Cheers!
enjoyed the lectures and seminars however he finance team and support around the course was poor , fell in to difficulties online resources were cut which caused stress and affected my course, when I went to see my student union rep was told if your from abroad you get much longer grace period with fees which is not right. Secondly the Uni changed VLE half way through the year and online resources were always late , the tutors was always difficult to get hold of and feedback on our work was always late and sometimes never received. Overall I do not think the course was good value for money , I did a MSC Sport management
go somewhere else, what they are selling is not what they are giving, criminology course is stolen from anthropology.
So many places to get good food and coffee anywhere on Talbot Campus. There’s a pub, Dylan’s Bar with all day food and occasional quiz nights. There’s the atrium Starbucks in Poole Building, one in the very comfortable SUBU building, there’s a juice bar, a cafeteria with great food selection, a Starbucks and a costa cafe in fusion building, and another coffee shop in the Media Building. The library can get crammed at peak times, but has everything you need and a bridge link to SUBU building. Some more outdoor seating would be nice maybe, but it’s getting better and the lecture theatres, seminar rooms and other facilities are pretty neat. I like the atmosphere too, it’s friendly and feels more like a bunch of friends on a chilled out summer festival and because all buildings are arranged around sort of a courtyard it is very easy to meet people you know.
