We all know that change is hard. For the last two years I had been trying to decide whether or not to move to Bournemouth for my Master\u2019s programme. Now I\u2019m studying the MSc Events Management programme at Bournemouth University. I would like to share with you my thoughts of why I chose Bournemouth and BU.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friends, Bournemouth and language<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The main reason why I chose to study in Bournemouth is because many of my friends are here. Moreover, the summer of 2016 gave me the opportunity to visit this city and to have a job here. I loved the area and I promised myself that I would be back soon. This is the main reason why I chose to study abroad. To emphasise, I chose England because I also want to improve my English language skills. I believe that my level of English is good, but there is always room for improvement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facilities, services, and academic support<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another reason I chose BU for my Master\u2019s degree is because applying to this university was easy and the facilities are incredible. I discovered that BU gives students access to many services like medical support, gym facilities, sports, study skills support, placements&#8230;and the list goes on.\u00a0 Also, I read that Bournemouth University is considered one of the most international universities in the world. These attributes convinced me even more that Bournemouth is the perfect place for my interests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BU is the best fit for me<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I decided that I wanted to do a Master\u2019s in Events ever since I was a little girl. I like to organise things, attend events, and I strongly believe that attention to detail is very important. That is why I thought that the Msc Events Management program at BU was the best way to get where I want in my professional career. I chose to apply at BU after exploring the modules they offer in detail. I was pleased to see that they satisfied my interests and provided opportunities which other universities courses did not offer. Moreover, I considered how their teaching methods best suited my educational needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More opportunities than just academics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My experience with BU has been amazing so far and now I know that coming here for my Master\u2019s programme was certainly the right decison for me. In addition, I got a job as an International Student Ambassador and I\u2019m excited by how many opportuinities you have as a student at BU.<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely love my BU experience and I would recommend for any student to apply for BU. You won\u2019t regret making a small change in your world. Whatever your decision is, I can assure you that life abroad and at BU, is truly worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p><em>Written by Sandra Achim (Romania), MSc Events Management<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am Sandra Achim from Romania studying a Master\u2019s in Events Management here are BU since September 2017.
