Bournemouth university rises up the rankings

“These guides and league tables are vital for prospective students when they’re deciding where and what to study, and in a challenging and competitive market, it will make a big difference to the university to be so highly ranked and is testament to the hard work of all AUB staff and their commitment to providing an excellent student experience.”

The new ranking comes after a difficult year for AUB, which included the recent announcements of unavoidable redundancies due to the challenging economic environment.

The local creative and business community have stepped forward in support of AUB during this tricky period and have offered congratulations for its new placement in this year’s Complete University Guide.

Elspeth McBain, chief executive at Lighthouse Poole, said: “AUB plays a vital national role in nurturing talent across the performing and digital arts. Through hands-on, industry-focused training, AUB equips its students with the practical skills and experience needed to thrive in the creative industries.

“AUB’s sharp rise in the rankings is a remarkable and richly deserved achievement. It reflects the university’s unwavering commitment to excellence in creative education. Congratulations to Lisa Mann and her outstanding team on this success.”
