Workshops, activities and initiatives for schools and colleges to help ignite students' passions and show them what's possible in higher education.
Want to arrange a tailored visit to your individual school, sixth form, or college? Or perhaps you want to bring a group of students to us?
Our dedicated staff and students deliver sessions on topics ranging from student finance to techniques in film production.
Our student ambassadors and outreach professionals advise on all aspects of student life, from finance and jobs to accommodation and support. Why not invite us to a parents' evening or careers event?
Subject workshops give your students a taste of university study and a chance to streamline their shortlist of potential courses.
The sessions we offer can be delivered in schools or colleges, or on one of our campuses. We also attend a variety of events.
These are a great way for students to learn more about the universities and courses available to them.
We attend a number of fairs throughout the year and would love to be invited to any Higher Education or careers events at your school or college. Add us to your mailing list and we’ll see you there!
Many schools and colleges hold Higher Education events for parents.
As part of the Ignite programme, we've developed a presentation for parents, carers and anyone supporting a student into higher education. The Supporter's Session outlines the application process, key dates and top tips.
You’ll find us at many of the 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. If you’re planning to take your students to an event, consider our Preparing for Open Days workshop.
If you’re interested in a session that isn’t currently outlined in this offering, let us know and we’ll try our best to provide it. Please contact educationliaison@bathspa.ac.uk to enquire.
Give your students the opportunity to experience a day at a university campus. 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, a campus and facility tour, and, after lunch, another workshop and a question and answer session with our students.
The Widening Participation Office works collaboratively with schools, colleges and community groups in Bath and North East Somerset, Wiltshire, Swindon, Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. 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 contact us on wp@bathspa.ac.uk.
If you're considering bringing a group of students to visit us, or if you'd like us to visit your school or college, please get in touch.
