Art's University Bournemouth

The number of opportunities and projects that we’re allowed to participate in and the choice we get given, is just fantastic. Plus, the collaboration element of AUB and getting to work on shows with actors and make-up students and grad films and film students, producing costumes. There’s so much that AUB has to offer anybody that ever wants to do anything in terms of the costume industry. It’s unrivalled, in my opinion

AUB and the Innovation Studio’s collaborative approach to work has been refreshing and educational, providing access to equipment and expertise that would otherwise be inaccessible. The Innovation team has provided much appreciated expertise and guidance on not only how to run helpful tests, but also wider insights on how research can fit into a wider product development process in the industry.

The Innovation Studio has given me a space to work on my designs where I can be inventive and creative. I have also had direct access to using machines to cut out my designs. I count myself very lucky to be around professional tutors and designers who are able to offer hands on advice and guidance as to the best methods and techniques to achieve my desired outcome.

When the Palace Court Theatre opened in 1931, it was surrounded by theatres, concert halls, cinemas, ballrooms and nightclubs. Although some of those buildings may have closed, the staff and students of Arts University Bournemouth make a significant contribution to ensure the cultural calendar of the conurbation stays vibrant.
