Annual teacher and adviser conference

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting teachers and advisers, we are delighted to confirm we will be hosting our annual Teacher and Adviser conference on Wednesday 25 June 2025.

This free event brings together professionals from schools and colleges who share an interest in helping their students apply for places at high tariff universities such as Bath. The conference is open to teachers and advisers from all UK schools and colleges, and for 2025 we will also be welcoming delegates from international schools.

The schedule will include a variety of talks and workshops from guest speakers, university staff and students all designed to help teachers and advisers feel confident to support students in applying for increasingly competitive university places. As well as gaining recent updates and advice about the current higher education landscape, we hope the conference will also give attendees a feel for life at the University of Bath.
