Department of Development and Alumni Relations
We maintain an active network of alumni and friends around the world.
Our department supports a network of over 120,000 Bath alumni across 170 countries.
We love to stay in touch with our alumni; updating them on university and alumni news, providing unique benefits and services and connecting business contacts or reuniting classmates through reunions and events.
Fundraising is another aspect of our work and donations are a vital asset to the University, as they provide scholarships, fund new projects, research and more. However, the Department is not funded by donations, meaning that 100% of every gift goes to the project for which it is intended.
Bath alumni and friends support the University in many ways, from generously donating their time and expertise to help current students and fellow graduates, to making gifts which change lives.
