All Access AUB is a post-16 access programme from Arts University Bournemouth designed to help students from underrepresented backgrounds explore creative higher education. It gives participants the chance to build confidence, develop a portfolio, and experience university-level creative work in a supportive environment.
The programme includes a fully funded summer residential on AUB campus, where students take part in creative workshops and produce work for an exhibition at TheGallery. Participants also receive one-to-one portfolio tutorials, support from a progression mentor, and a transition day focused on preparing for higher education.
Alongside the learning experience, the scheme offers wider recognition of participants’ work through a public exhibition and celebration event. It is aimed at young people who want to progress into creative courses and benefit from additional guidance with their applications and next steps.
