Bournemouth University is a public university in Bournemouth and Poole, Dorset, on England's south coast, tracing its roots to Bournemouth Municipal College and gaining full university status in 1992. It teaches around 16,400 students and is best known for its National Centre for Computer Animation (Oscar- and BAFTA-linked alumni), AACSB-accredited Business School, top-ranked Tourism, Events and Hospitality provision, and NMC-approved Nursing.
Two campuses about a mile apart, linked by a free student Unibus: Talbot Campus (computing, engineering, media, the NCCA's animation and games studios) and Lansdowne Campus (Business School, Law, Nursing skills wards, Sociology and Criminology). Talbot Campus traces to 1976 buildings on former Talbot Village farmland; the institution became Bournemouth University in 1992. Around 16,400 students and 1,500+ staff study and work across both sites, a short walk or bus ride from Bournemouth's seven miles of beach.
