Research is at the heart of what we do at Bournemouth University and we support our students to get involved as much as possible. Research influences our teaching and professional practice, which enriches our student’s learning experiences and means they get to learn about new research as it emerges. We provide lots of opportunities for students to learn about and get involved in research as we believe it enhances their experience of university, helps shape career choices and gives people a chance to develop valuable skills.
We provide lots of other opportunities for students to learn and get involved in research as we believe it enhances their experience of university, helps shape career choices and gives people a chance to develop valuable skills. From taking part in research to showcasing their own research to learning about BU’s exciting work, we want our students to have every opportunity to get involved.
