Public specialist art and design university
GBP 19,950 (2028/29)
Arts University Bournemouth is a specialist creative institution on the south coast, teaching film, animation, visual effects, photography, fashion, architecture, performance and design. It charges GBP 19,950 a year and fixes that figure for the duration of the course. A fixed fee at a moderate level is the most useful combination available to a family planning from abroad: the whole cost of the degree is knowable when the offer is accepted, rather than an estimate that moves each year. Its film, animation and visual effects provision is well established, and Bournemouth University's National Centre for Computer Animation is a few miles away. For an applicant intending that field the two are the obvious comparison, and they differ: Bournemouth University charges GBP 19,635 to GBP 24,150 and does not fix it. The south coast costs more than northern England and well below London.
