Varsity sport offers
athletes the opportunity
to excel and grow within
our comprehensive
sports programme.
BU is currently ranked 28th
in the British
Universities and Colleges Sports (BUCS) league
thanks to the successes of our varsity teams and
individual athletes competing in a wide range of
sports.
Our teams are supported by professional, semi-
professional clubs and a dedicated team of
coaches and BU staff, as well as a strength
conditioning programme. This enables our athletes
to compete at high quality facilities as well as
provide opportunities for local and national league
competitions.
Varsity matches take place on Wednesday
afternoons with individual sports running at
various times throughout the year. Selection to the
teams is based on a performance trial. Trials run
from the end of September to mid-October. See
pages 30-31 in this guide for details.

Global BUddies is a project which
matches new students in small
groups with a Global BUddy of a
different nationality. We welcome
applications from everyone – the
more nationalities the better (that
includes British students too!).
Global BUddies will help you to build a network of
new friends from all over the world and develop
important skills that your future employers will
really value. Your Global BUddy will be a current
student who will contact you by email before you
arrive, help you settle in to life at BU and organise
small social events, meetings and activities to help
you get to know people when you get here.
Places are limited, so apply as early as possible if you would like to be involved.
To find out more and to register, go to our website:
www.bournemouth.ac.uk/global-buddies

Global BUddy
My best global experience was when I came to
university this past September and saw so many
people from all corners of the globe. All studying,
working, playing together as if they always did
belong in the same group.
As a Global BUddy, I’m really looking forward to
meeting new people from diverse cultures and
learning about them, while also showing them
my culture.
