Home Study The University College Student Life Local Area Guides

Local Area Guides

Sun, sea, sand and study - what more could you ask for? Throw in a rich mix of green spaces to explore, retail therapy, activity and leisure pursuits, as well as plenty of entertainment and you have something to inspire you around every corner.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth has a long history as a coastal resort, but there's also a much more vibrant side to this seaside town. A hot-bed for wellbeing and wellness, digital and technology, and outdoor and leisure interests means this is the perfect place to live while you study.

Pokesdown and Boscombe

Great neighbourhoods full of character and charm. Bag a bargain at one of the vintage and antique shops, peruse the vibrant food markets, or attend live music, gigs and theatre at some of the best kept secret venues.

Southbourne

Southbourne is a thriving, cool neighbourhood, where you can experience independent shops and eateries, sip on the famous local beer, or wander to the clifftops and take in the idyllic vistas.

Christchurch

Christchurch is a beautiful town boasting a harbour, scenic riverside walks, and lots of history and heritage. There's nothing quite like a cosy, roaring fire in a traditional pub after a long walk.

Lovely. We can't wait to showcase it at our next Open Day on October the 5th. @EnglandRugby are playing Argentina that day. May have to think about opening up early for the visitors. https://t.co/2iACbNnx1j https://t.co/2g2yTCDgAR

The theme @artsbythesea Sept 2019 is 'Mind Matter' and this 'Mind Matter Hub' sounds fantastic promoting #PositiveMentalHealth by introducing the Five steps to wellbeing and mental health.
