Our Employability Statement

At Bath Spa University, we know there’s a lot to think about when applying for university.

Your "employability" and what you do with your degree after university is one important aspect, and one we take seriously. Very seriously. So seriously in fact that, not only do we have a whole team dedicated to it, but it’s everywhere around the University. It features in every single degree programme; it’s there through the many extra-curricular opportunities available to you; and it’s there again in the placements, projects and partnerships we have with employers and industry professionals right here, right now.

There’s so much to tell you about, we couldn’t possibly fit it all in here. So to help you, complete with links to our own website, here is our:
