A UCAS exhibition is a great opportunity to research your post-18 options and discover a range of education and employment opportunities under one roof. We attend a number of Higher Education and UCAS exhibitions around the UK, providing you with plenty of opportunities to meet us, pick up a prospectus and have a chat about your course and life at BU.

You can view the UCAS exhibition dates on the UCAS website.

We’ll also be hosting the Dorset UCAS Exhibition on Thursday 27 April 2017 where you’ll get the opportunity to visit numerous university stands, attend seminars and go on a tour of our campus and facilities.

We realise the information can be overwhelming so we’ve put together some advice about making the most of your visit to the Dorset UCAS Exhibition (most you can adopt for other exhibitions too!).
