“This has been produced jointly in close partnership with both BCP and Dorset Councils under our collective ‘Invest in Dorset’ brand, and we created it to promote the world-leading skills and expertise in digital creative that the county is replete with. It aims to raise the profile of the sector to investors, suppliers, customers and to pupils and graduates as a fine career choice.“

“AUB believes in the power of creative education to transform lives and society. Dorset is a vital creative place with a long history of innovation. The evidence of the benefits of creativity to the economy, well-being and social cohesion are overwhelming. At a time when access to creative education is being limited we need to do more to ensure access to the creative arts and design thinking for pure enjoyment and to help answer some of the challenges we are all facing.”
Daniel Cox, Head of Arts University Bournemouth Open Campus
