Bachelor degree at BU
Enrollment in a bachelor's program at BU is based on the results of entrance exams.
The campus of the educational institution is located in Mogadishu. 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. There is a library on the grounds of the university. There are collected scientific works of graduates and teachers of the university, as well as fiction. The exchange of intercultural experience occupies a special place in training at BU. The educational institution regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs and organizes various joint events.
