Open Days

Here’s an example of what to expect during your Open Day.

• Attend the Open Day Welcome Talk
• Check out the course sessions and stands – chat to our course leaders! 
• Head out on campus tours led by our Student Ambassadors 
• Drop in to our student accommodation (both on Newton Park campus, and in the city just a short walk from Locksbrook) 
• Grab food at the Refectory or Café and check out the Students’ Union  
• Chat to student services like Accommodation, Wellbeing and Careers.

Think about some questions you want to ask our staff and students. An Open Day is your chance to find out the answers to everything important to you.

You could ask:

• What's life like living on campus? 
• What’s the best thing about being a student at Bath Spa? 
• What are the clubs and societies like? 
• What sort of things would I be studying on the course?
• What are the entry requirements?
• What are some cool places to visit in Bath? 
• What kind of financial funding or scholarships are available?

We’ve also put together a list of our top five Open Day activities to help you fully enjoy your visit and make the most of the day.

Open Days are a great way to get a feel for the University, to learn about what we can offer your student, and how we’ll support them throughout their time with us. 

This is an opportunity to meet with student services, support staff and the senior leadership team and to ask them any questions you may have, and for us to help you with any concerns. 

We know that the day can sometimes be overwhelming for students, so it’s handy to have a few questions you’d like to ask on their behalf you think they’d like to know the answers to as well. 

Newton Park

If you're arriving by car, parking is free at Newton Park.

If you or a member of your group is a Blue Badge holder you can find dedicated parking outside Commons, the Library and Main House. Feel free to ask for directions from one of our event staff on the day and they will be able to direct you to a space.

Other visitors will be directed to the next available space in the main carparking at the top of the campus.

Locksbrook

Parking at our Locksbrook campus is free for Open Day with a Blue Badge. Due to limited parking, we're asking all other Locksbrook Open Day visitors to park at the nearby Rotork carpark where you'll then be able to catch a regular, free shuttle bus to Locksbrook campus.

The gates to the Rotork Carpark will be locked by the security team at 6.00PM, so please ensure you leave the carpark before 6.00PM. We cannot guarantee access to the carpark beyond that time.

We would encourage visitors to arrive by public transport if possible. The campus is a 15-20 minute walk along the river from the main Bath Spa railway station, and is well-served by regular buses.

You can find food and drink to purchase on the day at a number of our catering outlets on campus. Complimentary tea and coffee will be available throughout the day.

We'd love you to share your experience with us on TikTok, Instagram, X and Facebook. Make sure to tag us to share the best bits of your day. 

During your visit you might notice members of our Social Media and Digital Content teams capturing photos and videos for future use. Please speak to them if you would prefer not to be photographed.
