It is aimed at encouraging you to fulfil your postgraduate potential by continuing your academic career at BCU.

Our libraries provide access to around 62 million resources including books, online journals and much more. Alumni are welcome to register as library users after graduation for a fee of just £35 a year. External library membership still gives you access to the library to study where you can also borrow up to four items, free WiFi on campus and access to the BCU Open Access Repository.
