Bournemouth University's roots lie in a municipal college founded in the town during the early twentieth century. That college was later renamed the Dorset Institute of Higher Education, took polytechnic status in 1990 and was granted the title of university in 1992. Today the institution enrols around 17,000 students, of whom more than 3,000 come from beyond the UK, and it divides its academic activity between four faculties, namely the Business School, Health and Social Sciences, Media and Communication, and Science and Technology. Both campuses are located along the Dorset coast. In Poole, Talbot Campus lies roughly two miles inland from the centre of Bournemouth and houses the students' union and the main library, whereas Lansdowne Campus is within easy reach of the town centre and the seafront.
Media and the creative industries are the areas for which Bournemouth is best known. In 2011 its National Centre for Computer Animation received a Queen's Anniversary Prize, and former students have worked on films that went on to win Oscars. Further specialist centres concentrate on media practice and on the policy and management of intellectual property.
Information for International Students
For overseas students who require academic or language preparation before a degree, Bournemouth University International College offers a route in. Operated with Kaplan International Colleges from a purpose-built centre on Lansdowne Campus, it teaches a Pre-Master's Programme, the International Year One Diploma in Business and the International Foundation Certificate, together with pre-sessional English aimed at university study. Its students have access to the main university's facilities and may become associate members of the students' union. The standard English requirement for most bachelor's and taught master's programmes is IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, with no component below 5.5; research degrees call for 6.5, and certain courses ask for more.
Newcomers starting in September or January are offered orientation sessions covering the practicalities of settling in the UK and giving them the chance to get to know one another. Trained immigration advisers provide free advice on visa and immigration questions. A room in university accommodation is guaranteed to first-year undergraduates who satisfy the published booking conditions. Scholarships recognise strong academic achievement among undergraduates and postgraduates alike, and the careers service assists international graduates, among them those weighing up the Graduate Route.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with Bournemouth University is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for Bournemouth University start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. Bournemouth University may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
