Our dedicated student services team will do everything possible to ensure you have a rich and rewarding experience at Bournemouth University International College, and successfully progress to university.
I like living in the UK very much. I feel so much more independent and responsible for myself. If I have any problems, the support staff are always really helpful, and give me useful advice.
The staff and tutors have supported me throughout my course and answered all of my questions. They were always there to help and encourage me – I felt as though they were my family.
My team and I assist students throughout their journey, from the moment they decide to study in Bournemouth, until well after they successfully complete their studies. We’ll guide and support you and your family, and we are proud to be a part of this important stage in your life.
You’ll be supported every step of the way when you enrol at Bournemouth University International College – starting before you even set foot in the UK. You’ll receive a pre-arrival guide, and help with the visa process. The student services team will be ready to answer any questions you might have, no matter how big or small.
When you land at the airport in the UK, the College’s student services team can arrange to pick you up and take you to your accommodation. They will make sure you are given a warm welcome to your new home.
Once you have accepted your offer to study with us, you can book your airport transfers by filling in the form in the pre-arrival area.
In your first week, before your classes start, the staff will help you settle in and do everything possible to make you feel comfortable. You’ll meet your teachers, find out more about your course, and tour the University facilities that you can use. You will also receive help with things such as setting up a bank account and registering with a doctor. Pre-Sessional English students will receive a 1-day induction to cover the same important information.
During your time at the College, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to make new friends, and there will be numerous social activities to help you get to know your fellow students. Activities might include a sunset party cruise, a weekend in London, a games night, salsa classes or a visit to Stonehenge.
The College features outstanding student accommodation, attached to the College building at the heart of the University’s Lansdowne campus. Contemporary and stylish, the flats and studios are equipped with modern conveniences. The in-house Compass restaurant serves international cuisine and caters to many different dietary needs. We also offer catered options. Find out more about our excellent residences on the accommodation page.
