Location

The university lies at the heart of Europe's largest non-industrial conurbation – between the New Forest and Jurassic Coast. The two campuses, in Poole and Bournemouth, are served by excellent dedicated bus services. London is two hours by rail and excellent road links lead to destinations in the South and West.
