Arts University Bournemouth

AUB campus has a real buzz about it. On route to the café you’re likely to pass a film crew, a woman in Elizabethan dress and a DJ. It’s a microcosm of the creative industries. Right down to having the best tools for the job. All facilities are on a single campus, which makes it a very friendly and welcoming place. Not only is it home to the workshops, spaces and lecture halls where you’ll study, it’s where you’ll eat, drink and make friends.

There’s always something happening: an exhibition, a DJ playing outside, a live performance or a charitable fundraiser. To inspire you further AUB has got a gallery, a museum and an incredibly well-stocked library.
