History

In 1964, Bournemouth and Poole College of Art was formed through the merger of Bournemouth Municipal College of Art and Poole College of Art. The name was changed to Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design in 1980, and the first new building on the present campus was opened in 1984, built at a cost of £2.3 million.[1]

In 1998, the name was changed to The Arts Institute at Bournemouth (AIB) and in 2001 the AIB became a higher education institution..[2] The AIB was one of only a few HEIs that focused exclusively on creative work in contemporary art, design, media and performance.

In 2009 the Arts Institute changed its name to the Arts University College at Bournemouth following the acquisition of Taught Degree Awarding Powers in 2008.

Bournemouth Screen Academy

Due to the growing reputation, both nationally and internationally, the AIB, in partnership with Bournemouth University, successfully bid to be a Screen Academy in 2005. The film, costume and performance courses at AIB being a central component of the Screen Academy offer. These designations from Skillset were designed to recognise excellence in film and the broader screen-based media. The 7 or so institutions with Screen Academy status were able to access bursaries and draw down revenue funding (supported by the UK Film Council).
