Bath Spa University has been voted one of the top creative universities in the Which? University Student Survey 2014, which was unveiled last Friday.
The Which? University Student Survey has named Bath Spa as one of the top six creative universities alongside Falmouth University, Goldsmiths University of London, University of the Arts London, University for the Creative Arts and Southampton Solent University.
Based on the views of more than 12,500 undergraduate students the annual Which? University student survey outlines the top-rated universities for sports, local nightlife, creative and political scenes, and a variety of student union activities.
When surveying students about creative universities, the survey asked if activities such as music, theatre, dance, choirs and visual arts are a large part of university life, with lots of arts societies, events and facilities open to all students.
Bath Spa University’s vision is to be a leading educational institution in creativity, culture and enterprise.
The University offers a wide range of creative courses, clubs and societies, and is based in the city of Bath, a UK top 10 creative city.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Christina Slade said: “I am delighted that we have been recognised as a top creative university. Our students – whether studying arts, humanities, science or social sciences – learn in an environment where creativity in its broadest sense is valued and nurtured.”
In the survey students also commended the University’s performance venues such as Burdall’s Yard which is based in the centre of Bath where a range of drama, comedy, music shows and gigs are performed.
