Student life
Being a BSU student means joining our close-knit community. It’s about bumping into friends on campus, embracing challenges and genuinely caring, and it's a community that you'll be part of long after you graduate, as one of our alumni.
History is on your doorstep, as you live in a UNESCO World Heritage city which is rich in culture, offering music, literature, food, drama and more. Bath is renowned for its vibrant arts scene as well as being a city thriving with creative industries and world leading organisations in education, food, drink, publishing, technology and more.
Our self-catered accommodation options at our Newton Park campus suit a variety of requirements and budgets. Halls of residence within the centre of Bath are supplied by third-party private providers such as Unite Students and iQ. Wherever you live, there's quick and easy access from all of our campuses into the city centre.
Bath Spa Students' Union is also here to help you make the most of your university experience. With great facilities including a Bar and Kitchen as well as a gym, the SU is a hub of activity for you to get involved in. Join a club or society, make change on campus, or even lead your own campaign!
Campus and facilities
We have two main campuses located in Bath, both offering space to learn, explore, reflect, create or just hang out.
Our Newton Park campus is home to woods, historic listed buildings and rolling fields. This natural beauty exists alongside our state-of-the-art TV studios, computer rooms, and study spaces found in the heart of the campus in the Commons building. Other facilities include newly refurbished Music facilities, including recording studios and a 40-seat sound theatre, a Crime Scene lab and Mock Court Room, and University Theatre with rehearsal and performance studios.
Our award-winning Locksbrook Campus is centrally located in Bath. The open-plan building has technical workshops surrounded by open, flexible studio spaces and large, open social areas. It boasts a permanent gallery for displaying students’ artwork and an art shop that promotes both student and graduate work.
