Choosing the right university
Finding the perfect course
With over 100 courses to choose from across 17 subject areas, we’ll have a wide variety of exciting degrees open for Clearing. But while we’d love for you to join us this September, we recommend you shop around and make a shortlist of options across other unis too so you can make the best decision for you. To help you decide, register for our Priority Clearing service to plan ahead and receive support from our advisers.
Location, location, location
From cosy corners in cafes to the wide-open spaces of the Jurassic Coast, Bournemouth and the surrounding area has something for everyone, including a vibrant nightlife and a great variety of big-name and independent restaurants and bars. Our famous beach is just a short walk from our Lansdowne Campus too, where you’ll find the majority of our halls of residence – with an accommodation guarantee for Clearing applicants*.
World-class facilities
We’ve invested in our buildings and facilities to make sure you can have access to modern, industry-standard equipment and learning environments. That ranges from multi-camera TV studios, to crime scene, forensic, and sport performance labs, to hospital simulation suites. These are all part of campuses that have sustainability at their heart – we’ve been EcoCampus Platinum award holders since 2016.
The BU experience
We have a motto at BU, ‘To learn is to change’. That’s because we believe education can change the world – in big ways that change it for everyone, and smaller ways that change it for you. However big the difference you want to make, we can help you make it, with opportunities alongside your studies across placements, research, career development, and other extracurricular initiatives.
