Student life

Get involved, take part, join in!

Life at Bournemouth & Poole College is about so much more than studying.

We have a thriving College community that gives you the opportunity to get involved! As well as joining our Students' Union and enjoying the many benefits it offers, you can also get involved in the running of events and activities!

Ultimately, we’re here for our students, which is why we’re constantly investing in new facilities across our College sites. There’s plenty of opportunity to get some ‘me’ time with a meal at an award-winning restaurant, a haircut or beauty treatment, or a quick coffee. If sport's your thing, we offer some amazing equipment in our fitness centres – The FIT Rooms and Arbitrium CrossFit at our Lansdowne site.

If you think life at the College might be for you, we have regularly scheduled open events to give you the opportunity to explore our facilities, speak to the experienced tutors and look at your options for the future.

What's it like to live in South West?
Check out our region guide

The South West of England is made up of seven counties, with rural areas surrounding key student cities – from Plymouth and Bournemouth up to Bath, Bristol and Cheltenham & Gloucester.

You'll find many a festival – including the world-famous Glastonbury. And if you're a cider or cheese buff, you'll have plenty to try in the South West. You can always walk it off in Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks, or beautiful countryside from the Cotswolds to Land's End.

Cornwall, Dorset, and Devon are big coastal favourites, with idyllic beaches and waves to test the bravest surfers.
