Access and Participation at BSU
The Access and Participation Office at Bath Spa University works collaboratively with schools, colleges and community groups in Bath and North East Somerset, Wiltshire and the surrounding regions.
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 email
ap@bathspa.ac.uk
.
We also offer a range of Creative Outreach opportunities to engage young people in Art and Design, including the Art and Design Saturday Club (for age 13-16), Young Artists Summer Programme (for ages 13-16) and free creative learning resources for schools and alternative provision.
