All you need to know about Bournemouth University
It may be called Bournemouth University, but this venerable institution's main campus is actually situated in Nearby Poole. Known as the Talbot Campus, it's where the students' union and main library are located. A secondary campus, Lansdowne, is just outside Bournemouth town centre.
