Our Portfolio Days equip students with valuable information and advice on portfolio preparation and applying to Arts University Bournemouth.
Please note: We're still planning our 2026 Portfolio Days – timings and booking forms will be announced soon.
The Portfolio Days are ideal for students seeking support in developing their portfolios for Undergraduate or Foundation level applications. All attendees should be planning to apply to university within the next two years – this typically includes students in Year 12, Year 13 in sixth form, and all levels at college in the UK.
Please note, these events are aimed at students applying to courses that require a portfolio as part of the application process. Therefore, it isn't suitable for our performance-based courses. For more information on our courses and portfolio requirements, head to our Portfolio Guidelines page.
Unfortunately, these events aren't open for group bookings and each registration is for individual students only.
If you're a teacher wishing to bring students, they'll need to sign up individually. However, you're welcome to accompany them during their visit.
Due to the popularity of this event, we're unable to accommodate large school groups, as we want to ensure all students have a fair chance to attend. If you're considering bringing a group and would like to speak to a member of our team, please contact us at schools@aub.ac.uk.
If you have any questions about these events and haven’t found your answer here, please contact our Schools Outreach Team and we will be happy to help you.
