Studios and resources

On BA (Hons) Creative Direction, you'll learn in flexible spaces with the very latest in technology, with equipment sourced specifically for your projects, including audio visual, the latest digital technologies, and sector leading printing facilities.

We provide all the resources that you'd expect to find in a real creative business. Our exhibition spaces include TheGallery, a major resource for contemporary art and design in the South of England with exhibitions that's received both national and international recognition. It hosts several artist talks, panel discussions and other events to support the exhibition programme and is open to the public.

As BA (Hons) Creative Direction students, you'll also have access to AUB's specialist arts library, print workshop, dedicated Mac suites and a base room.
