About EMERGE
EMERGE launched in the Autumn of 2020 through a partnership between Bath Spa University’s Careers and Employability Department with Santander Universities and is a unique multidisciplinary creative practice studio for Bath Spa University alumni who have graduated within the last two years. EMERGE is a creative incubator, designed to help emerging talent through giving vital space, support, and time.

This incubator focuses on enabling collaboration, collisions, and opportunity; bringing together creative practice across four disciplines – art, design, music, and performance and creative media – all to work alongside and with each other. A collective made up of 30 residents, 5 creative mentors (who are established creatives within BANES and work alongside our residents) and 3 dedicated members of the University’s Careers and Employability team, EMERGE aims to give meaningful support at a pivotal time with an individual’s career pathway, bridging the gap between University and the professional world.
