Learn More →University Overview
Bath Spa University is a public university whose roots lie in the Bath School of Art, founded in 1852. After operating as Bath College of Higher Education and later as Bath Spa University College, it was granted full university status in 2005. Its principal campus is Newton Park, a rural estate west of Bath with Grade I listed buildings. Art and design teaching is based at Locksbrook Campus, a converted industrial building in the city, while Sion Hill hosts education courses. The university has also taught degree programmes in London since 2024, with centres in Canary Wharf and Hackney.
Bath Spa has a distinctive focus on creativity, culture and enterprise. Teaching is organised across six schools: Bath Business School, the Bath School of Music and Performing Arts, the School of Creative and Cultural Arts, the School of Design, the School of Education and Humanities, and the School of Sciences. Including students taught through partner colleges, total enrolment is close to 30,000. The university holds a Silver rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework and was named University of the Year for Social Inclusion in The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024.
Information for International Students
Bath Spa University provides a dedicated international team that supports applicants from enquiry through to graduation, working alongside country representatives and regional recruitment offices. An Immigration Advice Service gives guidance on Student visa applications, the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) process and the Graduate Route. Students on a Student visa complete in-person enrolment during Welcome Weekend.
For most undergraduate courses the typical English language requirement is IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, with at least 5.5 in each component. Postgraduate courses typically require IELTS 6.5 or 7.0, with no component below 6.0. Applicants who do not yet meet the requirement can take a pre-sessional English programme, offered in several lengths of up to sixteen weeks depending on their starting level, and the English Language Unit continues to provide support during degree study. A number of undergraduate degrees are available with an integrated foundation year, including business programmes taught in London.
Full-time first-year undergraduate and foundation students who make Bath Spa their firm choice and apply by the published deadline are guaranteed an offer of university accommodation at the Bath campuses. Scholarships and bursaries for international students are also available.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with Bath Spa University is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for Bath Spa University start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. Bath Spa University may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
