Arts University Bournemouth (abbreviated AUB) is a further and higher education university based in Poole, England, specialising in art, performance, design, and media. It was formerly known as The Arts University College at Bournemouth and The Arts Institute at Bournemouth and is the home of Bournemouth Film School.[8]

Since the inception of the 2017 Teaching Excellence Framework, a government assessment of the quality of undergraduate teaching in universities and other higher education providers in England.[9][10] the university has been ranked Silver and Gold in both national frameworks. In 2023 AUB provision in Foundation in Art and Design was rated Outstanding by Ofsted, having retained this highest ranking since 2018. The awards for teaching noted high levels of professional employment among graduates.[11]

In March 2024 AUB was awarded a £1.6 million E3 grant from Research England to create a new Research Centre: Plastics Innovation and Curation, which will explore how plastics degrade over time or behave in different environments, resulting in research that will have international relevance to both museum collections and modern manufacturing.[12]
