Training and support available for school/college teachers

We can run specific training sessions and workshops at your school or college, to help you prepare your students for higher education.

Training events

We offer a range of training events on campus for teachers which vary from year to year. We also hold 'Spotlight on EPQ, IB, Welsh Bacc and other project qualifications' events.

Subject-specific training days for teachers and students are also offered in conjunction with our faculties.

Talks and workshops

If your busy school timetable makes it difficult for you to attend a training event on our campus, we may be able to deliver a presentation or workshop for a group of relevant staff at your school or college. Popular topics include:

  • UCAS reference writing – what to include
  • supporting students with their Personal Statement
  • university admissions and applying for competitive courses

Teacher Champion Programme 2022

We know the vital role that teachers have in helping to ensure all students have the same chances of accessing higher education opportunities.

To help strengthen our relationship with inspirational teachers across the UK, we are launching the University of Bath Teacher Champion Programme in 2022.

Teachers from around the UK are invited to be part of this new, national network of secondary and college teachers who are all passionate about widening participation and access into higher education.

The programme offers teachers the chance to gain peer support, insights, knowledge and information about different areas of higher education progression to help support more students access to higher education opportunities. Alongside this, you will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with the university to help shape and inform our widening participation and outreach resources and programmes.

The programme includes three virtual discussion webinars from March to June 2022 and an optional in-person CPD event hosted on campus at the University of Bath in July 2022. After each webinar, teachers will gain access to high-quality, ready-to-use resources including student assemblies, INSET presentations and parent/guardian toolkits. The programme is free for teachers and paid cover will be provided to attend the in-person CPD event on campus.
