Student life

ASU – AECC University College’s Students’ Union, prides itself on integration, unity, positivity and representing students. They organise campaigns and events all year round to help students feel at home and to promote a healthy physical and mental lifestyle at university. Some of the most popular ones are Freshers’ Week, The Annual Charity Ball, Wellness Week, Acoustic Nights and more.

The members of ASU have also established a number of sports clubs and societies for every student’s interest, ranging across a wide range of hobbies, physical activities, and cultural and religious groups.

In addition, the ASU take part in many national campaigns and events to raise awareness and promote healthy living amongst the wider society. For those who are interested, students can run for any positions within the ASU.

At AECC University College, students will enjoy a year-round calendar that is packed with exciting social, cultural and entertainment events. In addition to this, students can get involved in their student community by joining one of the many clubs and societies on offer that is run by students, for students. These groups are a great way to make lifelong friends or meet colleagues and peers.

Renowned for its seaside atmosphere, there’s a lot to explore in this beautiful coastal town. From award-winning beaches (just 10 minutes’ walk away from the campus), nightlife and sports, to festivals and places of natural and historical interest, there’s plenty to do.

Students can go downtown to Bournemouth square and indulge in a shopping spree, watch a movie at the IMAX Odeon Cinema, or take a relaxing stroll in Bournemouth Gardens. Or they can stay nearer to campus and visit one of Boscombe’s many cozy cafes and restaurants, take a jog in Boscombe Gardens, do some yoga down at the beach or enjoy a sunset while dining in one of the beachfront restaurants.
