Life after graduation: My internship in Malta

When my course finished last April, it was time to start a new life in Europe. It was a tough time in May, because hunting for a job as an inexperienced international student is not easy at all. I have been a student for more than ten years and barely have any work experience. I… Read more » about Life after graduation: My internship in Malta

Winning the Green Impact Award

Over my three years at Bournemouth University I have always thrown myself at every opportunity the university and SUBU in particular, has offered. From this blogging position, through to being a PAL leader as well as a SUBU Volunteer Leader. However, my true passion at BU has been the environmental opportunities it has offered. I… Read more » about Winning the Green Impact Award

I’m staying at BU for my Master’s

My life so far hasn’t been all that adventurous or dramatic. I have been in education for all 21 years of it. So to sign up again for another year must mean one of two things: either a) I have gone barmy or b) I have found something I really want to do. I am… Read more » about I’m staying at BU for my Master’s

From Bournemouth Beach to the BRITs

I graduated from BU’s Television Production course in 2014 and was lucky enough to land my first post-uni job at Sony Music Entertainment.

The daily routine of a Psychology student

Luckily for me, I rarely have 9am lectures – I guess the Psychology lecturers don’t want to start work at the crack of dawn either! 8:30  I wake up, with great difficulty, and cobble a socially acceptable outfit together. By the time I’ve finished getting ready it’s time to catch the U3 bus to Uni,… Read more » about The daily routine of a Psychology student

Have yourself a merry Bournemouth Christmas

December is finally upon us and that means only one thing… Christmas! As this time of year is definitely my favourite, one of the perks of studying here in Bournemouth is their amazing annual Christmas market.

Things you might not know about Adult Nursing

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

Law at BU: is it for me?

Being a first year, it was only a few months ago I was in the same position as I’m sure a lot of you reading this are; you have finally worked out what you’d like to do at uni, but you’re still not sure which university is right for you. This decision is difficult for… Read more » about Law at BU: is it for me?

A week in the life of a Sports Management student

From finance and development to the gym and drinking Fosters (not at the same time I might add), a week in the life of a second year Sports Management student at BU is entertaining and varied. As I’m sure you agree, Mondays are a struggle (even if mine do start at 1pm). Luckily though, mine… Read more » about A week in the life of a Sports Management student
