Read honest reviews from real students at this uni


By studying at Arts University Bournemouth (AUB), you'll join one of the UK's leading specialist universities in art, design, media and performance. We're a diverse, collaborative community, equipping our students to succeed in the creative industries.
Our campus is a vibrant, creative academic environment – a place where you'll make amazing things happen. Against a backdrop of striking architecture, you'll be part of a community of like-minded makers and thinkers.
Bournemouth and Poole offer plenty to do, from nightlife and sport to countryside and beaches.
Sometimes things don't go to plan, and that's okay. This could be an exciting chance to explore other opportunities and options.
Get in touch. Call our Admissions and Clearing team if you’ve got any questions about applying to AUB. You can call or fill in a form to request a call-back.
Before you call us, you’ll need your UCAS ID, your grades and something to write things down with.
Results Day can feel overwhelming, so we recommend familiarising yourself with Clearing in advance. Researching the process, knowing what you'll need, and understanding the next steps can help you feel calmer and more in control.
Clearing shouldn't feel like a second chance or a backup route. It should feel like moving closer to opportunity.
At AUB, our ‘Front Row' offer is the next step in this process. Front Row means getting closer – to your future course, to expert advice, to creative spaces, to a decision, to your next chapter.
You're not watching from the sidelines. You're stepping forward. Get on the Front Row for Clearing at AUB.
Our Clearing hotline opens at 8am on 13 August 2026. In the meantime, you can contact our Admissions team on 0333 733 1667 or email us.
After accepting your Clearing offer at AUB, you'll need to add your choice on UCAS Hub.
Our UCAS code is A66, you'll also need the course code, which you can find on our course pages on either UCAS or visit our website.
Once we've received your application from UCAS, we'll be in touch with next steps via email and with your formal offer for the course.
