University Partnerships

All of our degree courses are also certified by leading universities with whom we partner closely, and are developed in partnership with businesses.

The partnership institutions oversee our course curricula and ensure they meet university quality and standards. They also act as our awarding bodies, so your degree certificate comes from the awarding university, giving you confidence in its standards. 
 

• Arts University Bournemouth (AUB)
• Bournemouth University (BU)
• City & Guilds
• Health Sciences University (HSU)

We invite businesses to advise on our courses to ensure we're developing the skills employers are looking for, and to create a clear route for you into your chosen industry, or to secure promotion in the sector you're already working in.

We have links with over 2,000 businesses and regularly engage with them in order to proactively seek input in sector workshops, Employer Advisory Boards, work placements and live projects for students.

We value our strong relationships with all employers, whether they're international players or local independent businesses. 

Our strong bonds give our students great opportunities in a complete cross-section of thriving sectors in our region and worldwide.
