Bath Spa University opens a second teaching centre in CanaryWharf following successful launch in Hackney

Bath Spa University has opened a teaching centre in London’s Canary Wharf, its second site in the city following a successful launch in Hackney in 2020.

The new site will complement the site in Hackney, which is home to the innovative University Centre in partnership with New City College. 

The centre in Canary Wharf will be home to more than 2,000 adult learners who are already studying at Bath Spa for degrees in Health and Social Care Management, Business and Management and Computing.

Vice-Chancellor of Bath Spa University, Professor Georgina Andrews says: “BSU is embedded in our communities locally, nationally and globally. The opening of our second centre in London demonstrates our commitment to supporting diverse cohorts of learners through strategic investment and sustainable growth.” 

“Student experience, inclusion, and accessibility are at the heart of the plans for Bath Spa University London (Canary Wharf), and I am proud of how this move reflects our standing as an institution providing life-changing opportunities to learners across the UK. Our new home in London demonstrates our commitment to directly supporting student success, enhances our presence in the capital city and helps us to ensure our long-term sustainability.” 

Professor Simon Haslett, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Partnerships) at BSU adds: “Bath Spa University London (Canary Wharf) builds on over five years of success since BSU first opened in London in 2020. 

“Since then, BSU has grown beyond Bath, and we now have students studying in parts of the UK where it is traditionally difficult to reach diverse cohorts of learners. Our continued inclusive growth has required us to look for opportunities to build and grow

 the BSU community. Our new home in London demonstrates our commitment to directly supporting student success and will enhance our presence in the capital city.”
