Visual Communication Welcome Guide

Arrival and your first week

We're delighted to have you join us at Arts University Bournemouth, and hope that your time here will be rewarding, challenging, creative and enjoyable.

Arrival and your first week

Welcome to BA (Hons) Visual Communication at Arts University Bournemouth where we look forward to spending time working with and supporting you as you make great leaps forward in your learning and understanding of the creative sphere!

Arrival

Online enrolment opens in Autumn 2025 for applicants who’ve met their conditions. Once open, it's important that you enrol as soon as possible so we can set up your timetable.

Once you’ve enrolled, you’ll be able to set up your student login to access your email account and more information via the myAUB portal.

Your timetable will be available to view in the calendar of your Outlook emails, shortly before your first week. Students should expect to be on campus throughout the whole of your first week. Normally, your timetable will only show course-level sessions when you first enrol. Any sessions that take place in a smaller group will be added later on as we put you into your groups on the timetable system, so please be patient if there are only a few sessions to start with!

Your first day on campus

We're looking forward to meeting you all on campus soon. We'd recommend that you make sure you're available to attend on campus or online sessions throughout the whole of your first week.

Please ensure that you have completed your Online Enrolment before your first day on campus. Check the ‘Next Step’ page for information including setting up your AUB IT login to access myAUB.

More information about what to expect on your first day will be confirmed soon.
