SUBU’s January Update – they’ve been busy!

subu-logo-2015SUBU have secured a new feature in the Bournemouth Echo online, where they’ll be sharing the great work of BU students in the local community on a weekly basis. It’s anticipated this will also become a regular feature in the Daily Echo in the near future too. A fantastic achievement for SUBU, BU and our students – needless to say that makes us feel very #BUProud!

  • Improving timetabling to help students take part in clubs & societies – 10 of which have just been graded with 5 stars
  • Planning Student Rep events and a second Speak Week in March
