Our Values
We want the best for our students. we want you to graduate with an
understanding of the
local, regional and global context, and with networks across all three. You should have
a broad understanding of the world in which you will be working, and be ready to face
the challenges of the workplace. You must be technologically adroit while understanding
those who are not. You need to develop sharp analytic skills with cutting edge
creativity and entrepreneurial flair. We want you to be proud of your association with
Bath Spa University.
We promise to treat you as individuals, not just as numbers. We will provide the support
you need to grow and develop, both intellectually and as citizens. We know that you
value the experience you receive as Bath Spa students, and we will not compromise on
that.
Our Context and Ambition
We are an innovative and resourceful University with roots in the
synergies between
employers and creativity that are the drivers of sustainable economic development. We
pride ourselves on our sense of community and our nurturing ethos.
Our excellent research is novel and crosses disciplines; we value both making and the
links between thinking and doing. We welcome the diversity of our students, and their
multiple narratives, and we are a place where students change their lives and change the
world.
In the next decade we will apply our skills to global challenges and local
opportunities, we will focus as one community able to harness all of our strengths and
capabilities, and while looking outwards we will be rooted in Bath, essential to the
city and the region.
Our Education Strategy
As an explorative applied learning community we will nurture lifelong
learning
capabilities, instilling the curiosity and confidence all our students need to navigate
a challenging ever changing world of opportunity.
Our curriculum will be applied
with an emphasis on
developing creative, sustainable solutions
to local and global challenges. Through the
curriculum, the learning environment and
our pedagogical approaches, we will prepare
our students for diverse and evolving careers
that are meaningful to them, and that enable
them to be responsible global citizens. We
will do this through a personalised and caring
approach to learning and wellbeing. By doing this, we can make the world
better.
