Bath Spa is one of the first major 'teaching-led' universities. This means that we place the highest possible emphasis on teaching quality, and we put the student at the very centre of our activities.

Why Bath Spa University?

We take our responsibilities very seriously indeed, and we feel strongly that higher education has an important wider role in achieving sustainability and helping reduce climate change.

Introduction

Bath Spa University offers pre-degree study, undergraduate degrees and postgraduate degrees in a wide range of programmes.  We are a teaching-led university with an emphasis on teaching of the highest quality. In each of our Schools of study there are programmes with outstanding results in sector-wide quality assurance processes.

The University has achieved exceptionally high rankings in national newspaper league tables. Its popularity is growing each year, and in the past five years it has achieved a 40% increase in undergraduate applications.

With around 5,500 students the University is small enough for students to benefit from a supportive and friendly study environment, but large enough to provide excellent facilities and resources. Its campuses are superb.
