Bath Spa University Students
If you are a Bath Spa University student, there are a number of ways in which you can engage with The Studio and our Residents.
Placements and Internships
The Studio team and our Residents often have opportunities for students to work on initiatives over a set period of time. This is a great opportunity to share your skills but also to gain valuable experience on live projects which can support your longer term career goals. Here’s what our students have to say about their experiences at The Studio:

My time at the Studio was amazing. I have been surrounded by strong females from the creative sector who have taught me to be confident and follow my own artistic practice. It was evident in my six weeks here that they wanted to see me do well in my own endeavours.

Working at The Studio as a Content Media Intern was such an eye-opening experience. I had the chance to work closely with Abigail Branagan who gave me the opportunity to make this Internship my own. Even if I had briefs to follow, I was free to express myself through my creative work and at the same time, apply all the knowledge that I have learned during the academic year. What made this internship more special and rewarding was the opportunity to meet so many creative individuals whose incredible work flourished in The Studio. I am so happy to have had the opportunity to make such unique connections with so many creative professionals and at the same time gain more work experience. I look forward to working with Abigail and at the Studio again soon!

Working at The Studio gave me the opportunity to connect with so many interesting arts practitioners and makers who worked in fields I didn't even realise existed! I learned a lot about arts administration and marketing, and further developed and refined my own organisation and tech skills. It was really exciting seeing what all the Residents were up to and being able to support their work!

This internship at The Studio has provided me with the confidence I was lacking for a really long time, it’s shown me an idea of life after uni and given me excellent experience of the going ons of a working environment. It’s solidified my career goal of working within innovation but also opened my eyes to different roles. I’m hoping to continue this style of work after graduation and I have already started looking at analyst and evaluation jobs. Being able to walk away with this on my cv, and two pieces of work to show to future employers is incredibly valuable and I’m extremely grateful to have had this opportunity. The support was wonderful, I never felt alone or worried about what I needed to do. I would highly recommend this to any student!
