2 3 Welcome from the Vice-Chancellor and the SUBU President Choosing the right university for you is a big decision. It’s important that you choose to study somewhere that offers a great course, but it’s also important to find a university that will value you and your contribution, working with you to enrich society and create new knowledge. We hope this prospectus will demonstrate that BU is a place that does exactly that. Our students are part of a lively and vibrant learning community, where there are plenty of opportunities both as part of their course and as extra-curricular activities. Whether it is undertaking research alongside academic staff, gaining professional experience as part of your course or learning from academic and professional experts in their field, you’ll contribute to society while you are at BU. By helping to make a difference in our local community and through projects around the world, you’ll find that your time at BU helps you to become a highly employable graduate who will continue to have a positive impact on society throughout your career. We place a high value on excellence, responsibility, inclusivity and creativity. We’re proud of the welcoming and supportive culture at BU, something that has never been better demonstrated than during the recent Covid-19 pandemic. The way our staff and students came together to help and support each other was real testament to the community spirit of BU. We’re here to help you succeed, and everything we do is focused on creating an environment that enables you to do just that. We bring together world- leading research, the latest thinking from the professions and brilliant education to make sure that what we do in one area informs what we do in others. It’s an approach that we call Fusion. It combines excellent education with research-led expertise and real-world application to enable you to excel. We also take our commitment to the environment seriously. As well as delivering environmental science degrees for many years, we are constantly looking at ways we can minimise our own environmental impact. We’ve won a number of environmental awards for our forward-thinking approach, and have been ranked in the top ten universities in the world for responsible consumption and production by the Times Higher Education University Impact Rankings. The university and Students’ Union at Bournemouth University (SUBU) work together to provide the best student experience possible. From a comprehensive Student Reps scheme to the 100+ clubs and societies on offer, you can be sure you will be supported and well represented at BU. Those are some of the reasons why we’re one of the world’s top 100 universities under 50 years old, according to the Times Higher Education Young University Rankings 2020. Helping you We’d love you to be a part of our vibrant learning community. Find out more by visiting us on an Open Day or, if you live outside the UK, meet us at an exhibition in your country. We hope that this prospectus shows you some of the degrees of difference that we believe make BU a truly special place. succeed Professor John Vinney, Vice-Chancellor We're here to help you succeed, Naomie Lebe, SUBU President 2020/21 and everything we do is focused on creating the perfect environment for you to do just that.
