One of the reasons I chose AUB is because I wanted to study a design course without losing the experience of campus lifestyle – I love the engagement between tutors and students. The history and culture in the UK really allows me to explore a lot of new aspects of art and design. Also, I have the chance to travel across European countries while studying in the UK, which is definitely a bonus!

We encourage application from students with a broad range of qualifications and we welcome students from all educational backgrounds.
