British School of Marketing International

Our college has 5 classrooms. We have a maximum of 16 students per class. We also have a computer room for students to study quietly. In the computer room, students can work on assignments, complete homework, and improve their knowledge and skills to support their independent learning. At BSMI we encourage students to become active independent learners by setting learners’ objectives during their studies.

BSMI is in the center of Bournemouth. It is close to a blue flag beach and famous gardens. The shops are also 5 minutes’ walk from the school. There are many things to do both in the day and in the evening for all ages.

Bournemouth is a peaceful but vibrant town and welcomes many people from many countries who come from all over the world. BSMI chose Bournemouth as a home to many international students for this reason. We now look forward to welcoming students to continue their journey to success with BSMI.
