hashtag#UNFAIR TREATMENT BY Bournemouth University ADMISSIONS DEPARTMENT

Iam writing this post to bring attention to an unfortunate situation I am facing with Bournemouth University. After being offered hashtag#ConditionalOffer (condition-IELTS [Academic] with 6.0. For which i submitted my IELTS marks sheet in which I secured 7.0) for Msc Digital Health. I was told to pay 3000GBP as deposit, and I paid 3000 GBP of deposit fees in good faith. However, following this , the admission department has now raised concerns about the legitimacy of my documents, despite having previously accepted them and extended an offer.

Despite my attempts to resolve the issue and provide clarification, the university has refused to refund my deposit of hashtag#3000GBP. This situation is extremely frustrating and unfair, as I acted on their and trusted their admission process . It's disheartening that they are now questioning the very documents they originally deemed acceptable and are holding onto my deposit.

I believe its important for universities to handle these situations with transparency and fairness. I hope that Bournemouth University will reconsider its decision and engage in a more open dialogue to resolve this matter

After receving the offer from Bournemouth University, I was excited to take the next big step towards my dream of furthering my education. I paid the deposit fees, trusting that everything was in order. However, shortly afterward, the university claimed that my documents were not legitimate, even though they had accepted them previously.

Despite my best effort to resolve the issue and offer additional verification, the Bournemouth University refused to refund my deposit. this unexpected financial loss left me in a difficult position, as I had budgeted my resources carefully for my studies. With no refund and my plans to study abroad now uncertain, I had no choice but to find a job in India to recover from the financial hit.

This experience has been both financially and emotionally challenging The refusal to refund my deposit has not only delayed my academic journey but has also placed a significant burden on me. I am certainly working in India to recover financially and my plans to study abroad are now uncertain

I respectfully request that the university reconsider their decision and provide a refund of my deposit, as I acted in good faith based on their offer. This refund would help me get back on track. I hope Bournemouth University can take a fair and transparent approach on resolving this matter.

I went to this university for a Master program in Events Management and I absolutely loved all the time spent there. Good lecturers, loving facilities, resources etc. The campuses are huge, modern buldings and facilities. I didnt live in one of their campuses but from what I saw from visiting my colleagues, the accomodation they offer is lovely. Of course is not cheap, but all is worth it for the experience.
The university also has restaurants, cafes etc with affordable prices. A gym as well for those who are interested. What I loved the most from this experience was the library they have and all the resources they offer to their students to make their life easier. Second thing I liked the most was the teamwork which they emphasize, practical activities, the group projects they give you just to help you understand the theoretical ideas you learn and how to apply them in real life. They also have lots of programs and volunteering you can apply for. During my studies there I had the chance to be accepted for an International Student Ambassador job. You can imagine how happy I was having a job and working for the university , enjoying what I do and also be paid for doing it. As part of the job, I was writing blogs, taking photos for their social media channels, participating in photoshoots for their social media pages, brochures and websites, holding campus tours for their Open Days at the uni etc. It was an amazing experience which helped me grow and definitely I would repet it if I would have the chance again.

Pros: ranked on 29th worldwide out of 1591 univerisities measured.
Cons: not affordable for everybody, high taxes for their programms but you can always apply for a Student Finance from the Gouvernment.

In August, 2019, my wife and I accompanied our younger daughter to check in the University. She returned to Hong Kong in March 2020 only to return in Sept 2021 and graduated in June 2022. We came back for a photo session on Nov 7, 2022. I believe she didn’t make the most of the facilities here.

"Its easy as a walk in the park" ! not walk on the beach. Your Add is repetitive and annoying....

There are a few reasons why "a walk in the park" is more prevalent:

-Cultural Perception: Parks are more universally accessible and common in various cultures and regions, making the expression more relatable to a wider audience.
-Historical Usage: "A walk in the park" has been used longer and more frequently in literature, media, and everyday conversation, solidifying its place as the go-to idiom for describing ease.
-Broader Application: Parks are associated with simplicity and leisure in a broader sense, while beaches, though also associated with relaxation, can sometimes be linked to specific geographic locations or conditions (e.g., sandy, rocky, crowded, or windy).

I only go to take part in research. Attractive building, reasonably signposted. Frequent bus service from various parts of Bournemouth. A reasonable car drive. Poole House cafe is pleasant and quite cheap.

Lecturers spend more time striking than teaching, and they have made it so students can’t claim any compensation for lost days because “that way it makes more of an impact”, what a selfish way to go about things…. ruining students education that they are paying for. The uni obviously doesn't care about the service they are supposed to be providing.

If you have autism, ADHD, anxiety or any other neurodivergent issues please do not come here. They will take your money and put you into a lot of anxiety and bother. Universities like this like to take advantage of vulnerable people and families.
