About Bath Spa University
Bath Spa University offers pre-degree study, undergraduate degrees and postgraduate degrees in a wide range of programmes. The University is linked with over 50 institutions in Europe, Asia, the USA and Africa.
Bath Spa University is a teaching-led university with an emphasis on teaching of the highest quality. In each of our Schools of study there are programmes with outstanding results in sector-wide quality assurance processes. The University has achieved exceptionally high rankings in national newspaper league tables. Its popularity is growing each year, and in the past five years it has achieved a 40% increase in undergraduate applications.
With around 5,500 students the University is small enough for students to benefit from a supportive and friendly study environment, but large enough to provide excellent facilities and resources. Its campuses are superb.
Bath Spa is one of the first major 'teaching-led' universities. This means that we place the highest possible emphasis on teaching quality, and we put the student at the very centre of our activities.
Our aim is to offer students a university experience that is distinctive, challenging and fulfilling, and that allows them to embark on their future careers with confidence and success. I hope that what we offer matches your needs and ambitions.
Mission:
Our mission is to be an outstanding and distinctive university that provides degree courses of the highest quality, informed by a culture of scholarship, expertise and teaching excellence.
