Bath Spa Empowers is an annual programme of events and opportunities for Asian, Black, Arab, and other ethnically diverse students.

Empowers brings together students from across BSU to build a vibrant, supportive community where cultural identity is celebrated, experiences are shared, and meaningful connections are formed - all while enhancing career prospects through access to valuable opportunities and meets with industry professionals.

The programme includes:

  • Community events that celebrate identity and culture
  • Paid internships
  • Leadership development workshops
  • Talks and networking with industry professionals
  • One-to-one mentoring
  • Career advice and personalised guidance
  • Quarterly newsletters featuring local and national opportunities

At the core of the Empowers programme is making sure every student has a fair chance to grow professionally and personally. We collaborate with local employers and partners like Grit who share this value to provide work experience, expert insights, and practical knowledge.
