Our campuses

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

Getting around

Our Lansdowne and Talbot campuses are within cycling distance of each other, and most of our accommodation – but there’s also a bus connecting the two. Our Chapel Gate Campus, where a lot of our sporting opportunities take place, is served by a bus too, so you’ll never struggle to get around.

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, a sound stage, audio studios, PC labs, a 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. 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

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. You'll be able to access many of our facilities and learning resources in the evenings and at weekends too, so you can learn at a time that suits you.

Safe campuses

Our campuses are safe spaces, with our own security team working closely with Dorset Police to make sure that you and your possessions are looked after at all times. We work in liaison with a dedicated police officer on campus security matters, and have extensive CCTV and other security measures – so much so that we have achieved the nationally recognised ‘Secured Environments’ status.
