Located on the south coast of England, Bournemouth University is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty less than two hours from central London by train. We are a green, safe and friendly town welcoming students from many countries.
Famous for its seven-mile stretch of award-winning sandy beaches, the town is also a thriving hub for a number of industries including the creative, financial and tourism sectors. The New Forest National Park is on our doorstep and the Jurassic Coast (which is a World Heritage site) is just a short drive away.
All our undergraduate degrees and many postgraduate degrees offer the opportunity to undertake a 30-week work placement to enhance your employability skills, gain industry experience and build a network that will be invaluable once you have graduated. Many of our postgraduate courses also offer both September or January offering you more flexibility.
Our Business School is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), an accreditation attained by fewer than 5% of business schools worldwide, placing Bournemouth University firmly amongst the top institutions globally for business degrees.
BU’s Archaeology and Anthropology courses are among the first degree programmes in the UK to receive accreditation from the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA) and University Archaeology UK. The accreditation scheme is a joint initiative to recognise undergraduate and Master’s degrees providing skills relevant to a career in the historic environment.
At Bournemouth University we are also very proud to have the world’s only National Centre for Computer Animation (NCCA), Queen’s Anniversary winners and produce graduates who go on to fulfil their ambition of working within the games and animation industry.
