Bath College

"Part of our strategic focus is to ensure that Bath College continues to build business links across the South West of England so the WEIoT builds on this. Developing these opportunities to enhance links with industry, as well as educational partners, can only benefit the region.

The new facility offers a brilliant opportunity for current and future students of Bath College. It is fantastic to be part of such a rigorous and innovative process working with other FE and HE establishments developing appropriate qualifications in liaison with employers.”
