With splendour, Fairfield School of Business (FSB), in proud partnership with Bath Spa University, held a graduation ceremony that honoured the extraordinary achievements of its latest graduating cohort. This momentous milestone, brimming with graduate ambition, aspiration and accomplishment, represented far more than a ceremony: it was a celebration of courage, character and commitment that defined the very essence of FSB’s student body.
In an occasion imbued with both gravitas and joy, degrees were conferred across a distinguished portfolio of Bath Spa University-accredited programmes designed to cultivate student leadership, ingenuity and empathy:
- MA Business and Management
- BA (Hons) Business and Management with Foundation Year
- BSc (Hons) Health and Social Care Management with Foundation Year
