A Welcome From The Vice Chancellor

Professor Frank Morgan, Vice-Chancellor

Your choice of university is an important one - one that will affect your future. By reading this prospectus carefully and finding out as much as you can about us and your other options you will be confident of choosing the university that is right for you.

One of the best ways of finding out more is by visiting us - touring the campuses and talking to staff and students. I hope that you will take advantage of the opportunities to visit Bath Spa, and you will be made welcome when you do.

You will find that Bath Spa is a university where teaching students is given the highest priority, and where students are treated as individuals. Importantly, you will also find a university where the vast majority of students enjoy their university experience and successfully complete their course.

Not all students sail through their university life without problems, of course, and we have a comprehensive and professional support system in place to help you with any issues that may arise, whether academic, financial, or personal.

A frequent comment from our students is that they particularly like the friendliness of the environment at Bath Spa. We are determined to retain the 'collegiate' ethos that students value so much, and we will never become a large, impersonal organisation where individual student needs are lost. Although fairly small in terms of student numbers (around 5,500) we are forward-looking and progressive, and our sound financial position - along with our popularity with students - allows us to develop and expand with confidence.

Our aim is to offer students a university experience that is distinctive, challenging and fulfilling, and that allows them to embark on their future careers with confidence and success. I hope that what we offer matches your needs and ambitions.

Professor Frank Morgan, Vice-Chancellor.
