Established in 1885 as a specialist institution, Arts University Bournemouth is a leading University offering high quality specialist education in art, design, media and performance across the creative industries.

The University is situated two miles from the centre of Bournemouth, on the border between Bournemouth and Poole. Here are details on how to get in touch and how find us.

At AUB, our flourishing research and scholarship culture celebrates and enables original investigation; extending knowledge fields and developing new understanding within the arts.

By promoting the pursuit of innovation and creativity, we encourage opportunities for establishing and sharing best practice in research and foster the development of critical perspectives that have traditionally lain outside discrete disciplines. We encourage the use of reflective teaching and learning practices as part of an interactive relationship with research.

Staff research is supported from within AUB by grants for particular projects and by a Research Fellowship programme offering generous remission from teaching and administration. Researchers are also encouraged to apply for external funding for the full range of research from practice through history and theory.

Recent grants received include those from:

A proactive Research Forum enables staff to present work in progress and to hear and participate in discussions of research by distinguished visitors. Training and advice is available to those intending to apply for external funding.

The University occupies a significant position in the cultural nexus of the south west. The University’s own Gallery is an important showcase for creative work and there are established links with other arts institutions in the area.

Published 23rd April 2018

Professor Paul Wenham-Clarke, MA Commercial Photography Course Leader, has been featured in The Association of Photographers 50^th Anniversary (AOP50) exhibition.

The AOP50 exhibition opened its doors on the 16^th April and celebrates work from a selection of the world’s most respected photographers. The display comprises images in the form of portraiture, advertising campaigns, documentary photography and more.

The exhibition and Paul’s submission were also highlighted in an article from the BBC News website this month, under the publication’s ‘In Pictures’ category.

‘OUR HUMAN CONDITION’

One of 50 thought-provoking images, Paul’s image depicts sisters Hattie and Charlotte in 2017, from his ‘Our Human Condition’ project. This on-going series documents the positive and negative sides of being human, whilst also studying the relationship between siblings with genetic conditions.

Alongside his position at AUB, Paul is a professional photographer in his own right and previously exhibited at TheGallery, in addition to spots at the Victoria & Albert Museum and National Portrait Gallery. His growing roster of accolades includes Gold Award Winner at The Association of Photographers Awards (2010), and Taylor-Wessing Award from the National Portrait Gallery (2013).

THE ASSOCIATION OF PHOTOGRAPHERS

The Association of Photographers was formed in 1968 as the Association of Fashion and Advertising Photographers. The association’s message is – ‘to promote and protect the worth and standing of its members, to vigorously defend, educate and lobby for the interests and rights of all photographers, especially in the commercial photographic industry.’
