Clubs and Societies

AECC University College offers so much more than just study. The clubs and societies organised by the students’ union cover all kinds of interests, so postgraduate students are sure to find something to keep them busy when they’re not studying, working out or catching up with friends.

Students at AECC will have access to the on-campus gym, which co-ordinates a range of weekly classes. They will also receive a discounted rate for BH Live gyms in the local area giving students access to studios, courts as well as football and swimming facilities.

AECC University College is very big on health and wellbeing, so it's only natural that they have a number of sports teams and societies on campus. For those who are interested in something that is not currently running, students are well supported to create a new club and recruit members.

City Life

AECC University College is in the lively town of Bournemouth, on England’s southern coast. The town is home to a welcoming and diverse community and is popular with locals, students, and tourists alike due to the great combination of vibrant nightlife, bustling shopping streets and easy access to the fantastic Dorset countryside. Bournemouth is located near many beautiful beaches as well as the New Forest, making it ideal for students who are into outdoor and water-based pursuits.

The town of Bournemouth is small enough to be easily traversable by public transport, bike or on foot. For students looking to get further afield, the town is served by two major train stations that offer quick and frictionless access to major cities across Britain.

The Bournemouth International airport means students at AECC can easily access other parts of the world for academic, professional or leisure purposes. With sun, sea and sand, Bournemouth is the ideal home away from home.
