How to visit us 

If you've heard of Bath Spa University, you probably know about our amazing locations.

Newton Park is a breathtaking nature campus situated just outside Bath. It's a blend of old and new: you'll learn in modern teaching and learning spaces and 18th-century buildings.

Locksbrook Campus is a beautiful redesign of a 1970s factory building. Closer to the city centre but still at the edge of Bath, it's home to our Art, Design, Film, and Media students. 

If you're interested in visiting these campuses, you can do so in a few ways, including virtual and guided, in-person tours.

Talk and Tours

Start with a talk about life at BSU, followed by a guided tour of the campus. Talk and Tours typically take two hours and we schedule them several times a year.

You'll get to learn about the campus you're visiting, including the key features, facilities, and activities that make up the BSU environment. After this, our Student Ambassador will guide you around the inspiring surroundings and facilities. This is a great chance to talk to current students and learn about student life.
