On-campus Offer Holder Days

Location: Campus Halls

Once you've checked in, you can pop into our on-campus halls, which will be open for viewing between 10.15-10.45. Don't worry if you don't get chance to take a peek in the morning – they'll open again in the afternoon between 13.00 and 14.30.

Location: Meet outside the Library

Whether you've been to an open day and seen campus already, or perhaps this is your first visit, Campus Tours are a must! It's a good chance to get a refresher or take a first look around. Our Campus Tours, hosted by our Student Ambassadors, will commence from 10.15 and will be available throughout the day from outside the Library. Tours will depart ad hoc in small groups throughout the day and take approximately 20–30 minutes.

While you're here, don't forget to visit the team from the Student Union! Get chatting about our 30+ clubs and societies and find out how you can get involved, as well as the valuable work AUBSU does to support our student experience.

If you don't get around to them in the morning, they'll be on hand later in the day from 13.00 until 14.30.

Location: Various (dependent on course)

Between 10.45 and 11.00, offer holders will head to their allocated flag (your flag number will be on your timetable). At 11.00, a member of your course team will collect you for your workshop. This is for the offer holder only, as we'll be replicating a day in the life at university. Therefore, we request all supporters say their goodbyes at this point. We've lined up two talks for parents and supporters (see below).

Location: SH001

While offer holders are participating in their workshop, parents and supporters are invited to attend a welcome talk with a member of our Senior Leadership Team. This is a great opportunity to hear about AUB's strategic vision, the future and what makes us stand out from the crowd.

As an alternative, we have a dedicated lounge space and hot desking facilities to use at your convenience should you need to work while your offer holder is at their workshop.

Location: SH001

We invite parents and supporters to meet our Careers team for a short interactive session where we'll demystify common misconceptions around the creative industries, while exploring and showcasing all the amazing opportunities open to our students in their career pathways. Hear about how we help support them to achieve their goals and take those important first steps into industry.

Location: B001

If you have any burning questions for our Admissions, Student Services, Wellbeing and Finance teams, head over to our Information Hub, where representatives from each team will be on hand to answer any burning questions. If you're wondering what our students go on to do after Graduation, then our Alumni team will showcasing a range of case studies across our courses – see for yourself what incredible opportunities they go on to experience!

Location: Campus Halls Foyer

There's nothing like hearing from students first hand! In our student chat zone, a range of student ambassadors from different courses will be ready and waiting to talk to you about their personal experiences – from why they chose AUB, what they think about Bournemouth, what's their favourite part of the course, what they wish they'd know before the started and more! This is your chance to ask the questions that matter to you.

We encourage you to pull up a seat, get comfy and enjoy chatting. While there why not see our massage therapist for the day, Corinne, who can treat you to a free seated massage taster!

Location: The Refectory

Following the course workshop, all offer holders will be directed to the Refectory to enjoy a networking lunch and get the opportunity to meet more friends from different courses. We're giving you a £5 voucher towards your lunch spend, so don't forget to hand this over at the till! It can also be used in other catering outlets on AUB Campus if preferred.

For supporters, while offer holders are busy making new friends at their networking lunch, why not take an hour to visit one of our catering outlets and grab a bite to eat!

Location: Campus Halls

If you didn't get the chance in the morning, you can pop into our on-campus halls, which will be open for viewing again from 13.00 until 14.30.

To end your day, you can visit our off-campus halls before you head home!
