What we can offer
Our Schools and Colleges Engagement Team works closely with staff in schools and colleges to provide engaging, informative and inspiring opportunities for students to understand their individual journey into higher education. We’re passionate about helping young people make confident, informed decisions about their future.
We deliver a range of opportunities which can be tailored to students' interests and passions. This includes:
- Interactive talks and workshops on a range of topics including choosing courses, writing personal statements and navigating student finance
- Attending events in schools and colleges such as careers fairs
- Liaising with our academics to deliver bespoke subject workshops.

Access and Participation at BSU
The Access and Participation Office at Bath Spa University works collaboratively with schools, colleges and community groups in Bath and North East Somerset, Wiltshire and the surrounding regions.
We deliver a targeted and structured programme of activities for young people – from primary school age to post-16 and adults – to support their progression to higher education.
If your school, college or community group has a high number of people from groups that are recognised as under-represented in higher education and you would like to find out more, please email ap@bathspa.ac.uk.
