Bath Spa Awards
The Bath Spa Awards programme helps you develop your employability while studying at Bath Spa
Our Bath Spa Awards programme enables you to get ahead with your career and gain recognition for your achievements.
The Bath Spa Awards programme consists of three separate employability awards:
- Head Start Award
- Bath Spa Award
- Bath Spa Leadership Award.
As a current undergraduate or postgraduate taught student, whichever award you choose, you'll be developing your self-awareness, building your skillset, gaining experience and learning new things that will support your employability and future career journey.
“The Bath Spa Award provided me with the opportunity to reflect on my learning at university and the amazing experiences I have been lucky to have. The award has helped me to consider what steps I need to take to support my career and future aspirations.”

The Head Start Award recognises students who get involved in wider university life. It supports you to develop your skills and confidence beyond your course and start exploring your future options. On completion of the award, you'll receive a certificate recognising your achievements – a great addition to your CV!
Any current undergraduate student is eligible for the Head Start Award, but it's particularly recommended for first year students and those students who are at the early stages of exploring their future career options.
