Here’s a round-up of what you’ve been asking our AskBU team this week…<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve not been able to attend any of your Open Days this year and would really like to visit, what should I do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s great to hear of your interest in BU!\u00a0 Please don\u2019t worry, although the Open Days have now finished until next summer, you\u2019re very welcome to join us for a Campus Visit <\/strong>on 9 December <\/strong>or 6 January<\/strong>.\u00a0 These events are designed to give you a general overview of life at BU, but we\u2019re unable to arrange for you to see an Academic from your course.\u00a0 You will however be able to find out more about being a student at BU by attending a presentation on fees and funding, accommodation and student life and put your questions to our experienced team. To register please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can come along at your leisure for a self-guided tour<\/strong>, to explore our first class facilities without having to pre-book or register online.\u00a0 We have an open campus policy any time between 9-5 Monday to Friday.<\/p>\n

We have 2 campuses. Talbot Campus<\/a>\u00a0 is where the majority of our courses are taught, and Lansdowne Campus<\/a> is for our Health & Social Care courses.\u00a0 We look forward to meeting you!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can I have an update on my application?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We appreciate that this is an anxious time, but it does take 6 \u2013 8 weeks for an application to be processed. As soon as our admissions team has reached a decision, this will be updated via UCAS track and MyHub. If you are a Hotmail user, you may wish to check your spam or junk box for emails.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been invited along for an interview, but can\u2019t make the date, what should I do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Firstly, congratulations on being shortlisted to attend an interview, that\u2019s great news!\u00a0 Please don\u2019t worry, just respond via the message through MyHub. If you\u2019re experiencing difficulties with making contact, please email us here at askBUenquiries@bournemouth.ac.uk<\/a> confirming your full name, UCAS ID number and course title.\u00a0 Good luck!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do I need to bring with me for my interview and how should I prepare?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please ensure that you have replied to any outstanding requests from Admissions prior to attending your interview.\u00a0 For further details about the day, you may find this link<\/a> helpful.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My friend and I both have an offer to study at BU and we would like to live together during our studies, how do we go about this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is the possibility that you and your friend can live in the same flat. When you sign into the online accommodation system (you\u2019ll be emailed when it is open), you and your friend will need to try to find a flat or house that has two available rooms and book them at roughly the same time.\u00a0 For more information about the process of booking accommodation, please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are there any opportunities to become a volunteer at BU during my studies?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, there are lots of ways you can get involved as a volunteer<\/a>. \u00a0There are even events taking place overseas, please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you’ve got any more questions, please leave a comment below or email askbuenquiries@bournemouth.ac.uk<\/p>\n
