Celebrating your achievements
Our graduation ceremonies are held at Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre which is in the town centre. Venue details are as follows:
Bournemouth Pavilion
Westover Road
Bournemouth
Dorset
BH1 2BA
The Pavilion is a Grade II-listed venue and was built in the 1920s with classic art deco design. Adding to the thriving cultural quarter in the town, the Pavilion is also home to Pavilion Dance, Bournemouth’s national dance house operated by Dance South West and AUB’s BA (Hons) Dance course.
We understand you may have several family members and friends who may wish to celebrate and take part in your graduation day, and that selecting just two guests to attend with you in person is challenging.
Therefore, we make sure each graduation ceremony is professionally filmed and live-streamed over the web. Anyone with an internet connection can watch the live video stream from the AUB website and from anywhere around the world. There's no cost to watch the live stream.
To watch the stream on the day, go to aub.ac.uk/graduation/graduation-live-stream.
The video will automatically start once the ceremony begins. If the start of the ceremony is delayed, the feed will also be delayed. Please be aware that it may not begin exactly at the advertised time. The feed will fade to black for a couple of minutes before each ceremony begins.
Please bear with us if there are any technical difficulties with the stream. Professionals are on hand to troubleshoot any technical problems.
Video replays of each ceremony will be posted to the same webpage 2-3 weeks following graduation.
