Welcome

Welcome Welcome to the BU community! We’re really looking forward to the start of term and working with you to make your time here fulfilling and rewarding.

University really is one of the best times of your life, and I am sure you are looking forward to it. BU and the Students’ Union at BU (SUBU) are working hard to provide you with an enjoyable start to your BU journey.

While the start of your university experience will be different to what you may have been expecting, we are making sure that you are able to enter university life in a safe way. We have worked to make the campuses safe, and our learning approach in the first semester has been designed to meet all your learning outcomes. We are committed to your campus experience, so we will look to prioritise getting our campuses up and running in a fuller way as soon as we are able. This guide includes information about what to expect in your first week and beyond, your key contacts for advice and guidance, and practical tips about living a well-balanced student life.

Look out for our email updates preparing you for the start of term and informing you of our schedule of virtual and physical events to help you settle into university life. Whatever your interests there will be something for you to do. I hope you’re excited about joining the BU community and wish you a successful and enjoyable time here.
