I'd never made a costume before in my life until I went to AUB. I developed massively over the three years, especially considering I was in lockdown for a year-and-a-half. The lecturers were so incredible – they helped with everything they possibly could. Two on my course that really stood out and who I’ll remember forever were Wayne Martin and Sarah Magill.

Being a resident business at the Innovation Studio has allowed us to work closely with the technicians and utilise their knowledge of lower volume and prototyping methods. The vast amount of software, equipment, and resources that the AUB has is really impressive… There’s no doubt that this has all contributed to our growth over the last year.

The creative community that AUB provides is an invaluable resource that will not only support our practice but also enhance it.

When the Palace Court Theatre opened in 1931, it was surrounded by theatres, concert halls, cinemas, ballrooms and nightclubs. Although some of those buildings may have closed, the staff and students of Arts University Bournemouth make a significant contribution to ensure the cultural calendar of the conurbation stays vibrant.
