BU: Learning with a difference

We don’t think that cutting-edge education, world-leading research and partnering with global industry giants are enough – instead, we make sure each activity informs the other. The insight and expertise we gain in one area doesn’t just strengthen that area – it strengthens everything. We call it Fusion.

It means that you’ll benefit from everything we learn through our research and engaging with your industry, as well as the expertise of the academics who will deliver your course. We work without barriers, collaborating and sharing with each other to deliver world-leading, life-changing research that we are passionate about. Indeed, many of our projects involve academics from different faculties working together, and we place a lot of emphasis on developing processes, structures and learning spaces that make it easier to work together.

As a result, the education you receive at BU is influenced and informed by everything else that we do. We know that while some of the answers are in textbooks, many more can be found through experience, through original research, and through working together with our students to co-create new knowledge

We believe that these different elements combine to enable BU to offer something truly remarkable to the world. It helps us to think differently, so that not only are the solutions we provide unique, but the questions we ask are too.
