Black Students' Network

Creating community, supporting wellbeing and celebrating success

The Black Students’ Network (BSN) is a partnership between Student Support and Student Ambassadors at the University of Bath. We aim to:

  • Foster community and connection
  • Strengthen a sense of belonging
  • Provide workshops and opportunities that support wellbeing and professional development

On this page you will find all of the BSN’s latest events, opportunities and news. All of our events are free to attend. We aim to offer a mix of online and in-person events, that we hope appeal to your wide range of interests.

*We recognise that everyone uses different language to describe and understand their identity. In consultation with the students who helped us review this Network, we’ve chosen to use the term Black students – which we hope feels inclusive and welcoming to you all.

Tackling harassment and discrimination

Support if you experience harassment or discrimination.


The University promotes a culture of respect, and our NeverOK Campaign aims to tackle and prevent discrimination, bullying and harassment of any form. If you experience any form of harassment including but not limited to colourism, misogynoir, xenophobia and microaggressions, you can report this through our Support and Report tool or to a member of staff in our SU Advice Centre, Student Support or Security. If you ever feel unsafe you can seek help from Security through our SafeZone app.
