Parking

Car parking is available at the rear of the building and is free to students. There are no specific student car parking spaces, but there are allocated spaces for student or staff who car share as part of our travel plan.

Secure cycle storage is available at the rear of the building and padlocks are available from the main campus reception area.

The majority of your teaching will be based in the Yeovil campus but there may be times when you will also need to attend units at the two main BU campuses in Bournemouth. When these are timetabled payment towards travel costs is provided.

As a student studying at our Yeovil campus, you will undertake your placements in the Somerset or West Dorset vicinity.

You will spend 50% of your time on the course in a practice placement setting. When on placement you will experience the full 24-hour/7-day-a-week shift pattern which may include 12-hour shift patterns in some placement areas, and include weekend working and night duty. 

Your placements will see you work in a range of placements which ensure you have a rounded experience of the patient journey and the different care settings. This means all students will experience placements in the community, in care homes, in GP practices and in the private sector, as well as within NHS hospital wards and departments. As well as giving you the required experiences it helps you to form your ideas of where you want to work following graduation.

For further information about placements, please visit the BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing course page.
