On-campus activities
Our campus is a hive of artistic activity and a microcosm of the creative industries all in one place.
We run a range of on-campus activities throughout the year so that your students can experience life at an arts university first-hand.
A visit to our lively campus will be one to remember! Your students can enjoy a guided tour of our cutting-edge facilities, discovering our unique creative spaces such as our stunning, purpose-built Drawing Studio. A Campus Tour gives students a valuable first-hand insight into life on a university campus and the chance to learn more about studying creative arts subjects in Higher Education.
TheGallery is our on-site gallery – a major resource for contemporary art and design in the South of England with exhibitions that have received both national and international recognition. We’re proud to offer a diverse program of free activities for schools and colleges that offer young people the unique opportunity to engage with original artworks.
Your visit can include an exclusive tour of the gallery and a talk from our Curators or Designers on the current exhibition’s artwork or the making and curating of the shows. We also offer workshop opportunities with an exclusionary art practice specifically designed to match a current show and the artist’s technique.
TheGallery space is always available as a study platform, where students can come by and independently engage with the exhibition, choose their favourite artefact, and maybe even try to draw it themselves!
MoDiP is the only accredited museum in the UK with a focus on plastics and it’s housed right here at AUB. It is the UK's leading resource for the study and interpretation of design in plastics and a specialist research resource at AUB.
