My first semester at BU

28 December 2015

Wow! How that first term has flown by! It’s so hard to think that only a couple of months ago I was a nervous wreck, stressing over getting to all of my lectures on time and constantly getting lost – even walking into the wrong lecture a few times. Ok… the getting lost still happens… Read more » about My first semester at BU

What extra help is available at BU?

23 December 2015

My name is Amy Potts and I am a dyslexic. Dyslexia is, unfortunately, different for a lot of people. There are so many variations, to the point where it can be really hard to spot.

Things you might not know about Adult Nursing

15 December 2015

I arrived at Bournemouth University in September 2014 bright eyed and bushy tailed, but with no real idea of what I was really letting myself in for! I knew I wanted to be a nurse, but it wasn’t until I got to university that I realised I didn’t really know what the next three years… Read more » about Things you might not know about Adult Nursing

This decision is difficult for… Read more » about Law at BU: is it for me?
