About us

Bath Spa University (BSU) is proud to offer high-quality teaching with dedicated staff who can support you in your subject, as well as access to our cutting edge-facilities during study and after graduation. We value creativity, curiosity and confidence, and we’re here to support you on your higher education journey.  

Bath is the perfect student city – not too big, and not too small – with plenty of great places to explore, whether that’s walks by the canal, coffee in the botanical garden or one of the city’s festivals; these and more are the things our students love about studying in Bath. 

Studying at BSU means discovering who you are - Our students build networks, boost their employability and develop skills ready to graduate. Most of our degrees offer a professional placement year, allowing you to experience a year in industry, and our dedicated Careers and Employability Team are ready to support you while you study and post-graduation. 

WE ARE BATH SPA

High-quality teaching, dedicated staff who can support you in your subject, and access to our cutting edge-facilities during study and after graduation. Join a university located in one of the UK’s most beautiful cities that mixes cutting edge business and a vibrant creative scene with Georgian architecture and spacious countryside.

What makes us different

Our academic staff are experts in their fields of study, they’ll inspire you to discover who you are. As we have small class sizes, staff can focus on and support you as you develop your talents and skills. This, combined with our specialist facilities, means with BSU you can follow your passion and thrive.

We’re proud to have been named University of the Year for Social Inclusion by The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024, and we continue to work with our students and staff to provide the best university experience. As an Adobe Creative Campus, you’ll join our creative community, have access to the full suite of Adobe software, and develop your digital skills for use inside and outside of study. 

Our focus on employability, student wellbeing and sustainability has been recognised with the Social Enterprise Gold Mark - the first University in the south west to achieve this. We've also been named the 17th greenest university in the UK by People and Planet University League Table.

The campus is amazing, the lecturers are amazing, and Bath in general is amazing. The University is so welcoming and there's ample opportunity. The accommodation is cosy, the facilities are great and the nightlife isn’t half bad, either. You’ll have such a great time – I wish I could do it all again!
