In 1852 the Bath School of Art was founded and in 1946 the Bath Teacher Training College was opened on the Newton Park campus. The present institution was formed in 1975 as the Bath College of Higher Education through the merger of the Bath Teacher Training College and Bath College of Domestic Science. In 1983 the Bath Academy of Art also merged with the college. In 1992, the college was granted d

egree-awarding powers and in 1997 adopted the name Bath Spa University College. In March 2005 the institution was granted university status, becoming Bath Spa University in August 2005.

BSU MA Creative Writing alumna Wendy Kenyon is set to publish her brand new book, Caitlin's Not Sorry, on 28 August through Troubador Publishing 🎊📚

Wendy's new book tackles loss of identity and the realities of modern family life. The story explores the lives of three middle-aged women as they face the challenges of infidelity and sibling rivalry.

Wendy notes that she 'started this novel in the throes of menopausal fury'. Though it is not autobiographical in any way, Wendy feels a great sense of empathy towards her protagonist.

Congratulations to Wendy! We are
