About Bournemouth University

Naturally grounded.  Instinctively ambitious.

Bournemouth University (BU) is a university shaped by our place. Naturally open, coastal, and creative, we’re part of a community that’s always looking forward. A vibrant yet laid-back community of surf sessions, outdoor adventures, cafés, culture, and people who’ll keep you grounded while the horizon keeps you curious.

Feeling like yourself is part of succeeding at BU. Before you even arrive, you’ll have access to information about clubs, societies, sport and events, helping you find your people early and settle in faster. Support at BU is easy to find and designed to fit around real life. From wellbeing and medical services to faith, childcare and AskBU support, help is always close by – with arts, music, sport and culture giving you space to feel good and get more out of your time here.

A campus equipped for success

BU’s campuses are built to support how you actually study. From quiet zones to collaborative tech-enabled spaces, you’ve got the freedom to work solo, team up, or switch it up depending on what you need that day. Whether you’re based in the town-centre Lansdowne Campus or the green, self-contained Talbot Campus, everything’s designed to help you learn your way

National impact 

From media to healthcare, business to tech and environment to ethics we help power the people who keep the country moving.
