Welcome to the Bath School of Design

Your degree is an opportunity for self discovery. We give you space to experiment, fail, succeed, and fail again, all while supporting you with the tools and guidance you need to find your own path.

Hear from our students about our creative community and how making is at the heart of what we do.

The equipment, studios and workshops you need

Our specialist art and design campus at Locksbrook is purpose-built to foster collaborative creation, and complemented by our specialist workshops at Sion Hill.

Question your impact

You take your responsibility to protect the environment very seriously, and so do we.

Let's make sure that we're contributing to an inclusive and positive future.

Construct. Co-create. Enjoy the process.

Collaborate with industry. Work to live briefs. Lead your own projects.

Join the wider community in Bath, the South West and the world.

Adobe Creative Campus

As an Adobe Creative Campus, all Bath Spa students have access to the entire Adobe Creative Suite of elite industry-leading apps, including Photoshop, InDesign, Adobe Express and more.

With the ability to amplify your digital fluency from the moment you join Bath Spa, you’ll have the space to develop a wealth of indispensable skills to help you in your studies, and in the world of work.

We’ve just redesigned ourselves from the ground up

New campus, more opportunities for you, better ways to share ideas and resources, and fewer fees.

Your experience as a student is still at the heart of everything we do.
