Enter a university abroad
Bachelor degree at BU
You cannot enter university in United Kingdom after the 11th grade, as school education here lasts longer. Applicants need to eliminate the academic difference. There are two ways to do this: either study for a year at a university in your home country, or complete one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, IB, Foundation, etc.). Before submitting documents to the university, applicants take an English language exam. The university accepts the results of IELTS, PTE or TOEFL. A subject exam is required. The university relies on the A-Level results. The IB diploma is accepted upon admission. At BU,you can also get a bachelor's degree remotely.
Master's degree at BU
When considering candidates for master's programs, the admission committee of the university pays attention to the student's academic performance during the undergraduate program. To confirm your level of English, you must pass IELTS, PTE or TOEFL. There is an opportunity to study at BU via online master's programs.
BU campus
The campus of the educational institution is located in Poole. This opens up all the delights of life in a big city for students: a rich infrastructure, a large selection of entertainment, convenient transport, as well as more opportunities for internships or part-time jobs. However, for some students, such an abundance of opportunities can be distracting. University students have access to the library. It contains a collection of scientific papers, textbooks and fiction. Not only locals study at BU, but also students from other countries. The variety of cultures represented broadens the horizons of students and fills student life with all sorts of activities, the purpose of which is cultural exchange.
