Bournemouth University Applicants 2015

I got an unconditional offer this morning for Business Studies, starting in September 2015. I'm very excited! I am shocked at how quick that was, I only got my application in to them last Friday.

Hi there, i am applying to bournemouth univerity to study business inforation technology.
I am cuently studying business, IT and ceatve media.
I am actually eally looking forward to going but i have a few questions (as im sure we all do)
-How do we apply for accomodation
-When are we told that we have got in or havent got in

And for current student

-What it is it like to live in bournemouth

Hey

So I have applied for 4 courses at Bournemouth :P Marketing, Marketing Communications, Business Studies and Advertising. So far I have an unconditional offer for Marketing Communications

I am currently studying business studies with marketing at college.

My decision isn't Bournemouth over another uni, it is uni or no uni, am I still undecided whether uni is for me or not :/

I haven't been to an open day but my brother was there for a year two years ago at Dorchester and I visited him a few times

Any opinions/reviews on these courses/the uni as a whole would be amazing haha please help me with my decision :P

I am planning to study computing at Bournemouth university?What are the campus like?and the night life?Where do you go in your free time?

Hello, I recieved an unconditional place to study law here starting september 2015.
Its either here or Southampton University, and I have my heart set on Bournemouth as a town/uni/ place to live and the general course with placement year... However, southampton is a russell group and people are still telling me to consider it? Any thoughts that i should have in mind, should i base my university on the russell group status!? i just dont know...

Hey. I also received an unconditional offer to study Law here too. Bournemouth is a gorgeous town and one I can definitely envision myself studying.

I have an offer at Liverpool and an interview at York, both of which are Russell Group Uni's. If I get into York, I will use Bournemouth as an insurance, and if not, I may actually just firm it as I'm not too sure on Liverpool personally.

At the end of the day, it's what suits you I guess. There is stigma towards the whole "Russell Group is best". Sure, it is, but it's also down to the individual's experience and wants, and if you like Bournemouth (I really, really do!), then it's worth considering.

For now personally, I'm going to wait until my York interview in two weeks to decide what my plan of action will be, but Bournemouth is extremely tempting.

Hello
I know what you mean about Bournemouth being tempting because that's where I see me living, working, studying and so on. I don't know if the Russell group status is good for law, I literally know nothing about it and I can't help but feel it's just a socially constructed thing but all my teachers are telling me that Southampton is best and to realise the gravitas of a Russell group. Someone also told me that if you put an unconditional as insurance it no longer is unconditional ? I'm not sure how true that is unfortunately
The placement year is also soooo tempting.
I've signed up for a law school applicant day in Southampton on 10th of January and I feel after that I will know more and be able to make more of an informed decision. Thank you for your information! It has let me know that I am not alone

Only some Uni's remove unconditional status if you make it insurance. My Bournemouth offer does not say that if I make it insurance, they remove it as unconditional, it will remain unconditional, so there are no worries about that.

Just to be sure, check your Bournemouth offer, if it mentions it will be removed as an unconditional then you know, but mine doesn't say that.

In terms of Law, yes, a Russell Group is better unfortunately. I really like the look of Bournemouth and its placement. A placement will rocket you ahead in terms of employment, so you actually never know!

In cases like this, consider the advantages and disadvantages. It's better to excel somewhere you're comfortable, not where you're uncomfortable!

Mine doesn't say about it being removed if it's put as insurance, which is good I guess.
Yeah I think I need to draw up a pros and cons chart of each haha.

This whole placement year vs Russell group is what I find most confusing about it all. Russell groups are good for job prospects I presume, yet placement year gives , I think there's a term for it, like commercial something? Which is apparently sought for by employers. I think the word I'm looking for means employability skills/life skills -- not just being book smart if you get me?
Good luck on your interview
