Campuses to be proud OF

Whether you want silent study spaces or to get together with your course mates in a technobooth to finish that tricky group project, our campuses have got you covered. You can study your way, with the facilities you need to do so – including Wi-Fi in all BU accommodation so you can work from home, and rooftop cafés where you can work with friends while catching up and enjoying some sunshine too. We believe that students are at their best when they have access to great facilities, and we’re proud of what we offer.

Many sites, one community

Our two new Gateway Buildings – one on each campus – are great examples of flexible learning spaces that let you make your own choices about how to study. They’ve been designed to support the imaginative and collaborative ways we work. They’re home to lecture theatres and seminar rooms with plenty of space, as well as the equipment needed for streaming and sharing, alongside outstanding specialist facilities.

The Poole Gateway Building on Talbot Campus is home to new TV studios, editing suites, sound stage, audio studios, PC labs, screening room, a motion capture and green screen facility, and cross-faculty collaborative learning spaces. The Bournemouth Gateway Building on our Lansdowne Campus is mainly used by students in the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences, but is open and accessible to all students and staff, as well as the local community. It is home to simulation suites including an operating theatre, hospital wards, a maternity birthing room and a residential flat for care scenarios – as well as an MRI scanner.

Facilities that prepare you for success c

When you start your career, you’ll need to know how to use the same industry-specific equipment that you’ll encounter in your job. That’s why we go to great lengths to ensure you have access to facilities, hardware and software that are at least the same standard you will find in your industry.

Library and learning resources

Our libraries on both campuses give you access to electronic, print and multimedia resources with staff on hand for support. We have hundreds of open access computers available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as well as an extensive Wi-Fi network. If you'd rather, you can hire a laptop from our loan service. If a beach-hut-themed technobooth is just the thing you need to make group work easier, we've got those too!

Our large collections of e-books and e-journals together with printed collections mean that you have extensive access to the resources that you need. You can access thousands of resources online (including more than a quarter of a million e-books) wherever you are through our virtual learning environment and mobile app.

An eco-campus

Our buildings aren’t just brilliant – they’re sustainable too. We’re proud to hold an EcoCampus

Platinum award, recognition of our commitment to minimising our environmental impact. We give you the opportunity to make sustainable choices wherever we can, from our locally sourced selection of foods to reusable cups and recycling facilities.

We've also fitted our new buildings with solar panels to generate some of the electricity we use, as well as a biomass boiler that fuels Poole House. You'll even find three beehives on the roof of our

Fusion Building – helping local biodiversity while also producing delicious Fusion honey!
