BNU for me is not just a university, I have personally developed as a person, opened my mind and experienced so many new things. I'm glad I found a course I really love with teachers who inspire me and care about my progress. I also have the opportunity through university to find new hobbies and socialise with new people.

Our wonderful Sports Therapy students organised a fantastic massage event for students, staff, and the local community. 😍

The free massages provided valuable placement-hour opportunities, allowing them to apply their practical knowledge and gain hands-on experience.
In 8 hours, 20 students delivered 100 massages and raised £150 for charity. 🙌

It was also a great chance for members of the community to enjoy a midweek massage and take a moment to de-stress. 👀
