Thursday, 11 September, 2025

With the dawn of a new term comes a brand-new edition of Bath Spa University's Unpacked magazine.

Every September, BSU’s in-house Communications and Brand Development team launch a new edition of the magazine that welcomes new students to life at Bath Spa University.

The latest edition is packed full of tips and tricks for making the most of the magical time ahead at BSU.

Members of staff, students and graduates from across the BSU community contribute to the magazine, coming together to welcome the new cohort of students into the family. With candid new starter advise from the senior leadership team, POVs of experiencing BSU campuses for the first time, and interviews with famous members of the University community - there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
