Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) is opening its doors this autumn to welcome prospective students for a series of Open Days designed to showcase life at one of the UK’s leading creative universities.

Running from 09:00 to 15:00, each Open Day offers visitors the chance to experience first-hand what it means to be part of the AUB community.
