Make a Difference

Whatever the impact you want to have on the world, BU can give you the skills to make sure it’s a significant one. From saving lives by pioneering the use of drones in search and rescue missions to producing a podcast encouraging a broader section of society to engage with news and current affairs, our graduates are making differences of their own. You can read some of their stories in this prospectus, and you’ll find plenty more inspiring stories online.

For now, however, the difference we are most interested in is the one you want to make, and the ways we can help you to make it. Your BU experience will be as unique as you are, because we place our skills and expertise at your disposal so you can use what you need to get to where you want.

Some of the things that will leave an impression on you will be big. Our strong industry links, great placement opportunities and world-leading research, for example. Some of them will be small – the stranger you meet on your first day who becomes your best friend, or the lecturer with a gift for making complex ideas seem simple (while telling really bad jokes).

So take a look through the courses we offer and the support we can give you, and see if you can find a way that together, we can make a difference.
