The origins of Arts University Bournemouth, a specialist institution for the creative arts, lie in the Bournemouth Government School of Art, which opened in 1880. Several mergers and renamings followed, and the college was known at various points as the Arts University College at Bournemouth and the Arts Institute at Bournemouth before full university title was conferred in 2012. AUB is part of GuildHE and holds full membership of CILECT, the global association of film and television schools.
Its principal campus is at Wallisdown in Poole, on the fringe of Bournemouth, and in Bournemouth town centre it also runs film studios and the Palace Court Theatre. Of roughly 3,700 enrolled students, the vast majority are undergraduates. Teaching is split across three schools: Bournemouth Film School; Art, Design and Architecture; and Fashion and Creative Industries Management. Subjects include photography, animation, film production, acting, fine art, illustration, graphic design, architecture, fashion and modelmaking, with studio practice carrying considerable weight. Alumni include the director Edgar Wright, the photographer Wolfgang Tillmans and the screenwriter Simon Beaufoy. Beaches, forests and the Jurassic Coast are close to the campus.
Information for International Students
A dedicated International Team supports international students at AUB from the point of application until they complete their course. Bachelor's degrees call for an overall IELTS score of 6.0, with no component below 5.5, although a lower score is accepted for the Foundation Diploma in Art and Design. Applicants who fall short may take one of AUB's in-house pre-sessional English courses, which run for six to sixteen weeks according to the entry score, and English for Academic Purposes classes and tutorials continue for the whole degree. Across a broad range of BA and BSc courses, an Integrated Foundation Year (Year 0) offers an introductory route.
Most candidates send their portfolio digitally as a single online link, whereas acting applicants audition instead. AUB holds a Student sponsor licence, issues the CAS and publishes step-by-step visa guidance. Students may book a room in halls after firmly accepting an offer, and international students can attend in-person orientation sessions as the academic year begins. International scholarships apply to campus-based courses, and the Graduate Route is open to eligible graduates.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with Arts University Bournemouth is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for Arts University Bournemouth start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. Arts University Bournemouth may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
