I chose AUB because the Costume course is so respected in the industry, and when I attended their open day I fell in love with Bournemouth and the area. The tutors are amazing and they have so much experience you can learn from – getting to work with different departments like Acting, Dance, Make-Up and Film Production really helps you get ready for industry and build up skills for when you graduate.
