We work with trusted third-party partners (such as Whatuni and FindAMasters) to promote our courses. When we do, we ensure appropriate security measures and contractual data processing agreements are in place. It will also be made clear to you at the point of collection what information is being collected and for what purposes.

When we do, we ensure appropriate security measures and contractual data processing agreements are in place. It will also be made clear to you at the point of collection what information is being collected and for what purposes. If you are unhappy with how your personal data has been processed by a third-party affiliate of BU, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
We may also obtain information about you in other ways, for example through your attendance at external student recruitment fairs (e.g. UCAS), from any agent or representative acting on your behalf or from people you identify as referees in an application form. In the case of apprenticeships we may obtain information from your employer. Where data protection legislation applies to these third parties, they should provide separate privacy information which covers their sharing of your data with BU.
Further information relating to you is then generated through our responses to your enquiries or applications.
