BU television student happy to answer any questions!

Hi Gemma, looking at adding this uni to my 5 choices but i have to ask, does the fact its in a college affect it in anyway? does it mean the facilities arent as good or does its distance from the main campus mean you're kind of out of the loop from everthing?

Hi Anna!

There our definitely universities that have just as good reputation as Bournemouth. At the most recent open day, my lecturer did a talk and said our biggest competitors were Westminster. Other good universities that I have heard of include York, Ravensbourne, Southampton Solent and I'm sure there are many others that I have missed off. My tip is when looking at courses for Television make sure it has the creative skill set tick because this means it has been approved by the industry and they agree that you are learning the most relevant and up to date information.

Although you could study at many places, Bournemouth's is usually one of the top runners. I did a placement at Sky and it was actually though some colleagues who recommended this course that I actually applied. Also we have many guest lectures that come in and praise Bournemouth.

Saying this, reputation isn't the be all and end all. There are many other things you should consider eg. do you want to live in a city, how far away from home do you want to be.. etc. Your going to be spending 3 years at one place, so make sure you really enjoy where you are going. I love being in Bournemouth and if you end up picking it, I'm sure you will have a great time! :-)

Hope this helped
