Empower your students with the knowledge to study and thrive in Higher Education
Bath Spa University is more than just studies; it's about making, creating, thinking and doing. Turning passion into a profession is our goal.
This world is rapidly changing and we encourage and support your students to explore their passion while developing the skills they need for tomorrow’s opportunities.
Ways we can support you
Our dedicated staff offer a range of virtual and in-person workshops to your students so that they can learn what life is like in Higher Education. Our aim is to complement the curriculum you’re currently teaching and to work with you to provide the best support and advice for your students.
We’ll help you ignite your students’ passions with creative workshops, presentations and tours to get them excited about the prospect of further study.
Our Ignite guidance workshops are specifically designed to cover many aspects of your students' higher education journey. Every session can be delivered both virtually or in-person and aims to provide guidance and support across topics such as choosing the right university and course, writing personal statements and understanding student finance and budgeting.
Our enthusiastic team travels the country to deliver workshops at schools and colleges throughout the year. Whether your students are choosing the right university, trying to find the right course or feeling flustered about student finance, Ignite has a workshop for them.
Aimed at sixth form and college students, these workshops are available for delivery both at our Newton Park campus and off-site. We tailor our curriculum workshops to the needs of your students and will try to accommodate requests where possible.
Higher education fairs are a great way for students to learn more about the universities and courses available to them. Your students may struggle to find the information they need online, especially when they’re considering different options. Give them the chance to ask the experts.
By talking to university representatives in person, your students can make a more informed decision. We attend a number of fairs throughout the year and would love to be invited to higher education or careers events at your school or college.
Give your students a chance to meet lots of universities in one place. You’ll find us at many UCAS exhibitions across the UK – drop by and say "hello"! Our friendly team members are always happy to advise your students and answer any questions they may have.
Check the UCAS website for upcoming exhibitions in your area.
Would your students benefit from experiencing a day at a university campus? We think so. They’ll be able to see the University facilities, take part in interactive workshops, talk to Bath Spa students and, most importantly, ask lots of questions.
Visits can be arranged to suit the needs and interests of your students. A typical day would include a:
- Welcome talk
- A workshop of your choice
- Campus and facilities tour
- Question and answer session with our student panel.
