How to visit us
If you've heard of 黑料正能量, you probably know about our amazing locations.
Newton Park is a breathtaking nature campus situated just outside Bath. It's a blend of old and new: you'll learn in modern teaching and learning spaces and 18th-century buildings.
Locksbrook Campus is a beautiful redesign of a 1970s factory building. Closer to the city centre but still at the edge of Bath, it's home to our Art, Design, Film, and Media students.
If you're interested in visiting these campuses, you can do so in a few ways, including virtual and guided, in-person tours.
