Bath Spa University is where creative minds meet. We teach and research across art, sciences, education, social science, and business. The University employs outstanding creative professionals who support its aim to be a leading educational institution in creativity, culture and enterprise.
Bath Spa University is a TEF participating institution and has been awarded with Silver.
What is the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF)? What does it mean for students?
TEF was introduced by the Government to recognise and reward excellent learning and teaching. Its purpose is to help better inform students’ choices about what and where to study.
"We’re champions of creativity, culture and enterprise, giving you the skills and support you need to find and follow your passion."
Professor Sue Rigby, Vice-Chancellor
We work with other fantastic colleges and institutions so that you can benefit from an even broader range of courses, diverse facilities, and specialist staff – no matter your field of study.
If you choose one of these specialist courses, you'll be based at the partner college and you'll have access to their facilities – as well as Bath Spa facilities such as the Library and the Students' Union.
