As at April 2016 the entire campus is undergoing a massive building programme. Loads of new state of the art facilities in new buildings and a lot of the 70s and 80s buildings are being extensively refurbished. On the up. If you are coming here to study you will know all about your course, and hopefully what the town and the area have to offer. Rest assured the facilities are top notch too.

Absolutely terrible University, learnt more in College. the set up is terrible, some of the lecturers in the science department are beyond awful, and the amount of exams they've messed up for students is beyond a joke. The racism in that university is beyond disgusting, and if you ask for help no one will help you. Accommodation is a rip off to the students as I was one of them. My keys was stolen and I got gang on by some thugs I requested for help and still no help from CLV or Bournemouth University. Shame really

Was at an open day at the University. While parked in the Uni car park a member of staff opened their door into ours, denting and removing paint from the door.
Upon phoning the university to request a form of contact for the person in question to sort the incident happily, they refused and were about as unhelpful as possible. They said that although they had the registration logged and the details of the member of staff on the computer, and also CCTV of them actually doing it, they weren't going to co-operate unless it was the police contacting them.
Shame really, they'd rather it went through insurance resulting in the owner getting a claim made against them instead of sorting it peacefully.
Not a great impression to make to a prospective students and their family.
I suggest the uni employs some friendly members of staff that actually care about they customers/students, not ones just waiting for their next paycheque.

I can not say anything good or bad about the classes but the international office is a nightmare. They do not understand the complications of the application process and visa arrangements. They can tell you we are looking at your application but in reality, they have not been looking at it for months. And now 3 days before the term starts they gave me my unconditional offer (of course after lots of email correspondence) and still I have lots of things to do and the classes are started, also I have 5 days to finish my all enroll process. They just play with your career. Since July I tried to make my way to this school and still trying. I do not want to make every UK school bad but most of them act lazy and do not care. If you are an international student and have other options, try other options, please, if not apply like 6 months prior or more.

Visited with partner who is a student at the University. Its a nice University, brand new building recently went up which added a large amount of space. Very good facilities, lecturers push students to do their best.

Summer Show this year was very good - art was displayed effectively and spaced out well.

Sad to say time here has been just awful....from being unable to get anything in the underfunded overcharged student halls, to being given just 5 lessons a week spread over 4 days....to the grim old buildings that still make up much of the uni and Bournemouth as a whole....to the course full of unfriendly antisocial people....to the university not caring about their students in the least unless they're 'LGBTQ' or whatever other ridiculous PC label.....stay well away would be my suggestion

Not what you expect from it when you first arrive at this university but it starts to grow on you.
Don't expect to be spoon fed information as you will need to find out for yourself. My final year only included 2x's 1hr lectures on a Monday then no other classes to attend.
Friendly atmosphere and enjoyable campus with more than what you need around.
Surrounding areas are awesome - town is close by and the beach.
Only downside is the careers advisors are very limited to field knowledge and can only act as people to speak to about your future rather than those giving you some credible information.
Awesome 4yrs spent there with some of the most memorable moments of my life.
Cheers BU

I studied here from 1983-86 and had a very happy and pleasant time. The campus has grown hugely since then and it's still a great place to study both in the Arts and Media industry. It's nice to see my family come here and study in my footsteps too and of course for me to return to an old haunting ground.

I am about to graduated from this University and it has been a wonderful experience. The only reason I put 4 starts is because I believe there is always space for improvements in education. The campus is amazing and always growing with a focus in making student life better. The lectures are well prepare in academic and also professional areas. They will always challenge you and push you to give more. I am really happy with my experience here, I always got the support I need and I will recommend anyway to join the BU community !! :)

If you don't know what you want to do in life, and see education as a chore; then this is the university for you. You'll be with like-minded individuals that picked a course at random, and got given an unconditional offer. You'll experience the wonders of the near-empty lecture theaters, the local youth selling spice outside the accommodations and the legend of the phantom assignments~! If however, you wish to pursue a career where the quality of your degree will be investigated; then I urge you to seek an education pathway far away from here. You're researching universities, you're already more capable than most of the students here.

Really lovely university with quite many opportunities offered to the student. Its facilities are top-notch. My only issue would be with communications - sometimes emails might arrive late or not at all, prompting you to remind the university staff about yourself if there is an issue to resolve.
