International travel can be a life changing experience, and we are so lucky that our team get to support so many students from BU to have those experiences.

We are always impressed (and a bit jealous) of all of the amazing overseas activities and travel our BU students take part in, and we want to celebrate it and the impact it has.

You are invited to submit a photo from one of your overseas experiences for our International Experiences Photo Contest.
We encourage you to choose your favourite photo from any of your overseas adventures and to tell us more about the experience, what the photo represents, and what it means to you.

Photos will go before a judging panel and winning photos used on our team banners, displayed on our events tables, and used in our promotional materials. This will include your name and BU programme on all instances where your photo is used.

The submission deadline is 15 February 2026.
