About Bath Spa University

Bath Spa University is one of the leading universities in England; its emphasis is on teaching and quality, which gives top priority to its students and makes the university different and exclusive from others. The university is situated around Bath, England. In the beginning, the college was called Bath College of Higher Education and in 2005, it was transformed into a full-fledged postgraduate university and was named Bath Spa University. The university has a unique history; in 1851, the university organized an exhibition, which was a huge success in the educational world. After the success of the Great Exhibition, the university was named Bath School of Art in 1852.

In 1975, Bath College of Higher Education was formed; in 1947, Bath School of Arts took Newton Park Campus on lease and then Bath College of Education and Newton Park College of Education merged and were renamed Bath School of Higher Education. Initially the college did not have the authority to award degrees to its students, but in 1992, this authority was provided for the college. In 1999, the college was named Bath Spa University College. The college was rewarded the university status in March 2005 and then eventually in August 2005, the college acquired the name Bath Spa University.

The university has various campuses for different courses and departments. The Newton Park Campus is situated near the town of Newton Saint Leo, which is on the west side of Bath. This is one of the largest universities among the three campuses. All the major courses are available here except a few PGCE courses and Art and Design courses.

This campus offers all the education-related courses, such as Music, Geography, English, History, Religious Education and Mathematics.

The university has developed a new campus in Corsham Court. This campus is home for all the Art and Design courses because in the Second World War, most of the parts of Bath School of Art and Design were destroyed.
