On 28 February 2025, the Office for Students (OfS) opened an investigation of Fairfield School of Business and Bath Spa University, specifically in relation to Bath Spa University students taught by Fairfield School of Business through a partnership between the providers.
The investigation will look at whether:
- the courses delivered by Fairfield School of Business on behalf of Bath Spa University are high quality
- Fairfield School of Business has effective management and governance arrangements in place.
The opening of the investigation means that the OfS has identified potential concerns that require further scrutiny.
The decision to open an investigation does not mean that any form of non-compliance or wrong-doing has taken place.
