Advancement Office
We maintain an active network of alumni and friends around the world.
The Advancement Office supports a network of over 150,000 University of Bath alumni across 170 countries, as well as our wider community of supporters who generously give their time, expertise and philanthropy to the University.
Fundraising is one of the main aspects of our work and donations are vital. They transform students’ lives through removing barriers to education, and advance important research in areas such as sustainability, health and wellbeing, and digital.
We keep in touch with our community of alumni and friends, informing them of the latest University news and events, providing unique benefits and services, and connecting business contacts or reuniting classmates.
