AUB Futures – Careers and Enterprise
Career support at AUB
Careers and Enterprise support
The future starts now — and every experience at AUB helps shape it.
That’s why we support our students to build their confidence, connections and career paths from day one.
AUB Futures is our dedicated careers and enterprise service, offering one-to-one career coaching, industry events and alumni insights. Our support is open to all students during their studies, and for three years after graduation.
A creative degree at AUB offers more than specialist skills. Through a design-thinking approach, students develop adaptable, future-facing qualities that employers value across every sector.
With 75% of employers open to graduates from any discipline, our alumni go on to thrive in roles within and beyond the creative industries.
15 months after graduating, 74% of AUB alumni said they found their work meaningful (Graduate Outcomes Survey). Many work as freelancers, founders and creatives — others succeed in fields like Law, Finance, the NHS and the Civil Service.
