‘Bournemouth is a town known for its international community where I could meet people from all over the world. Also, it has more days of sun compared to other places such as London, and I could enjoy all of them on its beautiful beach!

BU is growing in importance and is considered one of the best universities in the world. What I like most at BU is that here I believe I am not just one more student. The tutors are very close to us, they know who we are, and what we are looking for. This is the big difference. Each opinion matters and we are strongly encouraged to contribute in class, to exchange ideas and enhance our knowledge.’
