The campus

Set in attractive rural grounds, the University's purpose built campus overlooks the historic city of Bath. Based around a central parade, lecture theatres, laboratories, the library, shops, refectories and halls of residence are in easy walking distance of each other.

The campus also includes the Sports Training Village which is home to medal-winning Olympic athletes. It is also the official preparation camp for the Paralympics GB team.

The University recently announced plans to invest £100 million in its campus, with the aim of improving teaching and research facilities. It will also provide a new centre for the arts, including a theatre, rehearsal studio and a gallery for the wider community.

The city

Bath is a cosmopolitan city with a rich cultural heritage. Located on the river Avon, the city of Bath takes its name from the Roman baths which can still be visited today, making the city a major tourist destination.

Small enough to explore on foot, Bath has big high street names, designer brands, top restaurants, pubs, delis, museums, theatres and a spa sat amongst stunning Georgian architecture.

The city also regularly plays host to sporting events, including Rugby Union and the Bath Half Marathon. The city is also home to high-profile actors, artists, fashion designers and athletes.

Bath is only one of three cities in the world to be included on UNESCO's World Heritage list.

International students

25% of the students at the University of Bath come from outside the UK. The University provides dedicated advice and support, including an orientation programme and a mentoring scheme to help students settle into life in the UK.
