Creative Writing Welcome Guide
We're delighted that you've chosen to join our creative community at Arts University Bournemouth. We can't wait to see what you'll create.
Welcome to BA (Hons) Creative Writing at Arts University Bournemouth. We’re excited to get to know you as a creative and see what you’ll make with us as you develop through the course.
Online enrolment opens in Autumn 2025 for applicants who’ve met their conditions. Once open, it's important that you enrol as soon as possible so we can set up your timetable.
Once you’ve enrolled, you’ll be able to set up your student login to access your email account and more information via the myAUB portal.
Your timetable will be available to view in the calendar of your Outlook emails, shortly before your first week. Students should expect to be on campus throughout the whole of your first week. Normally, your timetable will only show course-level sessions when you first enrol. Any sessions that take place in a smaller group will be added later on as we put you into your groups on the timetable system, so please be patient if there are only a few sessions to start with!
We're looking forward to meeting you all on campus soon. We'd recommend that you make sure you're available to attend on campus or online sessions throughout the whole of your first week.
Please ensure that you have completed your Online Enrolment before your first day on campus. Check the ‘Next Step’ page for information including setting up your AUB IT login to access myAUB.
More information about what to expect on your first day will be confirmed soon.
AUB Students' Union (AUBSU) is here to support you and represent you whilst you’re studying with us. It's run by students, for students; the Executive Committee is made up of two full-time paid Sabbatical Officers and a group of part-time voluntary Executive Officers, elected by the student body in annual elections. When you enrol at AUB, you automatically become a member of AUBSU and you can vote or run in these elections.
AUBSU also runs a range of clubs, societies and networks, including the Green Society, Neurodivergent Society, LGBTQ+ network and more. Visit AUBSU's website for a full list.
Each year, AUBSU holds a series of events at the beginning of term for new (and existing) students. The wide range of events are a great chance to meet new faces, learn new things and settle into life at AUB – you might even make some lifelong friends!
AUBSU will begin announcing their line-up of Freshers' events in the summer. These will be revealed on the AUBSU website with bookings available on the AUBSU events site.
Most AUBSU events are free while some will have a small charge and are a great way to meet new people and make friends.
