My experience at Bath Spa University was amazing. I found the MA extremely rewarding; the perfect mix of design, practical and business learning. I was supported by a brilliant team of staff. This guidance and encouragement helped me realise design and practical ideas, giving me the confidence to pursue my own business.”

— Beki Bright, MA Design (Textiles)
