Whether you graduated last year or decades ago, we're here to help you stay connected!

Stay connected

We're proud of our alumni and rightfully so. Many of you have gone on to do incredible things.

Our alumni community is a continuation of our campus — a home and a network for all of our wonderful graduates. It’s a place to find out what everyone’s been up to and generally stay a part of our creative community – with some exclusive benefits to be had, too.

Our alumni community is open to students who graduated from any of our previous titles (The Arts University College at Bournemouth, The Arts Institute at Bournemouth, and Bournemouth & Poole College of Art & Design) and, of course, our current one.

To guarantee you don’t miss out on the Alumni benefits and communications sign up to AUB&.

Illustrated quote: One door closes another door open, don't be afraid of what's to come. The world is full of wonders, surprises and possibilities. You've got this.

Illustrated quote: Don't say "why" say "why not", don't be afraid to create a world around yourself rather than inherit someone else's.

Illustrated card: Keep in touch with old friends from AUB, expand your professional creative network. Search for employment or perhaps look for a mentor.

Illustrated card: Where there's an opportunity always step forward when you spot an opening. Take the initiative and aim to make a positive difference.
