The Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) caters its teachings to students who have a passion and desire to become figures in the art world.
Nonetheless, despite being an art-specialising institution, the university does not expect prospective students to immediately know what they want to study, and instead allows prospective students the opportunity to consider different potential art careers in order to aid them in discovering their interests prior to enrolling.
AUB has designed a helpful function for on-the-fence, artistic students to navigate the different opportunities that each creative career can provide through their WonderWhat function.
The function allows students to pick from a set of images that resonate most with them, after which the students’ selections will be used to find them creative career matches, along with helpful resources about these careers.
Picking a course of study can be daunting for any student, and AUB attempts to eliminate the difficulty of such choices by giving prospective students the necessary resources about their studies based on their own chosen interests. The university’s methods have seemed to work in preparing students for the creative job market, with AUB once being named the United Kingdom’s (UK) no.1 specialist university for employability.
