The Arts Institute Bournmouth

Description

The Institute is a creative community where staff and students share a passion for and a commitment to the disciplines of arts, design and media. Course leaders, lecturers and technicians all enjoy a wealth of practical experience in their subject area and the majority remain actively engaged in their own work through research, practice or both activities. This work is used to inform their approach to your learning. Industry Liaison Groups and Visiting Tutors from arts, design and media companies also help ensure that our staff and students are informed of current working practices and technological developments within these areas. Importantly, we offer a specialist environment which reflects the way in which individuals and communities work together in the creative industries and where we can give you the professional skills, knowledge and confidence to realise your ambitions and to succeed in your chosen career. We are committed to your needs: our course recruitment is kept to a level which allows a good student:tutor ratio, hence more individually focused teaching from staff who will know you and your work. Our facilities include well-equipped studios, workshops and the relevant tools and equipment to allow you to experiment and learn required industry skills. We encourage your input: each course has a representational system allowing you a collective voice in the development and shaping of our community and ensures that the quality of each course remains strong and its content relevant. Students are also invited to nominate members to all key Institute committees and to sit on interview panels for academic staff recruitment.
