With us, you can thrive
Bath Spa University (BSU) is here to nurture your talent. With space, support and opportunity you can follow your passion and thrive.
SPACE We all need space - to learn, explore, reflect, create or just hang out. You’ll also be spending a lot of time at university, so it’s important to find a place that inspires you and makes you feel at home. At BSU we have a multitude of wide open spaces - both literally and metaphorically - for you to stretch out, have a wander, meet friends, make stuff, get inspired and be who you want to be.
SUPPORT When you come to BSU, you’ll be joining a close-knit, caring community. Of course, you’ll meet lots of lovely new people and make lifelong friendships, but community also means looking after each otherand we offer plenty of services and support to help you along the way.
OPPORTUNITY Postgraduate study is about exploring your interests in greater depth. Whether you want to take your knowledge to the next level, enhance your CV, or go full-academic and pursue a PhD, we’re here to help you along your journey, with loads of opportunities for you to learn new skills, enhance your understanding, gain experience and explore the world beyond BSU.
"Anyone with ability and passion should be able to study in higher education and change their lives by doing so."
Professor Sue Rigby, Vice-Chancellor, Bath Spa University
