Our origins can be traced to the early 20th century, with the foundation of Bournemouth Municipal College. Our modern history began in the early 1970s with the creation of the Bournemouth College of Technology, and the construction of new buildings on the largest farm in Talbot Village.
By the time the new buildings were completed, in 1976, the Dorset Education Committee had reviewed the way it was. The result was that our name changed again, this time to the Dorset Institute of Higher Education.
In 1990, we successfully met the requirements of the Polytechnics and Colleges Funding Council and became Bournemouth Polytechnic, but that only the last two years. Under the Higher & Further Education Act of 1992, we finally became Bournemouth University, with an inauguration ceremony on 27 November that year.
We have a range of social facilities on both our campuses to help you relax and unwind after studying.
We have excellent sports facilities at sportBU, our gym and fitness center on Talbot Campus and a very active Students' Union - SUBU - who run a wide range of clubs and societies. Joining one, or even several, of these is a great way to make new friends and settle into university life.
There are various coffee shops and lodgings, where you can chill out between lectures and catch up with friends. If you're a creative type, you'll enjoy the Atrium Art Gallery on Talbot Campus, and we have a number of music rooms.
SUBU are also responsible for running Dylan's Kitchen & Bar on Talbot Campus providing the Old Fire Station nightclub on Lansdowne Campus. Regular events are scheduled for all of the SUBU's venues, with the Old Fire Station previously welcoming the likes of Ed Sheeran and Pendulum through the door and the venue will soon be seeing it the likes of singer songwriter Lucy Rose and the internationally renowned Lower than Atlantis take to the stage.
