Alumni
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&.
