The university has signed an agreement with Bournemouth and Poole College (BPC) that will allow students from BPC’s Level 3 Psychology, Criminology, and Law programmes to enter related degree courses at the university with reduced entry requirements. This agreement is part of a broader Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed in February 2026 by Bournemouth University’s Further Education (FE) Partner Alliance Working Group and BPC. The working group comprises representatives from all university faculties, marketing and communications, admissions, academic quality, partnerships, legal services, and external engagement. Its aim is to create a network of FE partners to boost the number of undergraduate students studying for university degrees at partner colleges, as well as increase the number of undergraduate applications and students at the university. Currently, 210 BPC students are studying Psychology, Criminology, and Law over two years.
