Bath is honestly one of the best places to study I've ever been to. The course is high quality, with good teaching and resources, and there's plenty of extracurricular activities. You get a tutor, and a mentor (from the year above), which help you to settle into first year, and can help you with both academic and personal issue. From what I've seen bath is exceptionally good at caring for its students. The library at Bath is open 24/7/365, which is super useful, and there are lots of other good places to study like the School Of Management. In terms of employability, the Uni defiantly helps students to secure internships, and placement opportunities, as well as offering lot of employable societies. (e.g. relevant to my course: Bath Finance Soc, SOBIC, etc...) The gym and sports training facilities are particularly exceptional, if you like to get involved in sports. I personally do badminton, distance running, and some of the gym classes. The only downside is the gym does cost £349 per year. There's lot of other good clubs/societies too. The main downside of Bath is that it is on top of a hill. Whilst its only a 15 minute bus ride into town, this can get annoying, especially for the weekly food shop! Its nice that the campus is more rural, and therefore quite green and quiet, however, it can feel disconnected from city life too. Bath is also a very expensive city to live in. Rent here for private housing can often be £200+ per week for nicer houses, which is a consideration. I would also warn students that Accounting and Finance is a very difficult course, and its very competitive if you want to go into a career field like Investment Banking. We cover a lot of content quickly, and other content (like in our maths class) is harder than A Level Further Maths- so you can imagine how difficult it can be at times. It can feel very full on at times. Thanks for reading :) Overall I really recommend Bath, and my course. However, you need to be prepared to work hard, and you need to put yourself out there in the first few weeks, if you want to meet people quickly and make new friends. P.S. Clubs I recommend: Monday night bridge, Labyrinth on weekends, Fame-Komeda, Score-Wednesdays, etc...

Our course it taught fully in person. I can only comment on the first year of the course, but overall I have loved it. We have about 15 hours of lectures a week, which includes a few hours of Seminars (smaller classes, where you can ask more questions, and clarify concepts that are confusing you). Ill try and break it down into what modules we cover: -Fundamentals of Accounting: We spend the first semester focusing on the principles of financial accounting, like preparing income statements, and balance sheets. In the second semester we cover management accounting, which is to do with relaying information internally, for management uses (e.g. measuring turnover). Accounting is tested with a multiple choice quiz (20%), a group presentation for coursework (20%), and a final exam (60%). The teaching in accounting was really good quality. The only negative is that there's SO MUCH content, and its covered super fast, so be prepared to have to go back over things, and do a lot of extra reading outside of class. -Fundamentals of Finance: Finance focuses a lot on project planning, and determining the present value of a lot of future cash flows. If this doesn't make sense right now, don't worry lol! Finance was taught well too, and the practice sheets were particularly useful. Finance is assessed by coursework (20%), a multiple choice test (20%), and a final exam at the end of the year (60%). The coursework is fully based on using Excel- which we are not taught in class at all really. I recommend learning how to use excel proficiently before the coursework starts (i.e. in the first few months of Uni when the course actually leaves you time to learn it). I don't have any negatives about this unit, other than the fact we are not taught about using Excel. -Business Economics for Accountants: This builds on a lot of A Level economics knowledge, and gives a great overview of (mostly) microeconomics uses in a business context. This is one of the easier modules on the course, and is really well taught by a leading economist. This was hands down one of the best modules from first year. The module is assessed by a 20% multiple choice exam, and an 80% end of year exam. -Business, society, and Law: This is 2 modules combined into one essentially. The Law module focuses a lot on contract law, and other relevant law for businesses. Its fairly interesting, and fairly well taught, but wasn't the most amazing module on the course in my opinion. This is one of the only modules which you need to buy a book for, and its about 30 pounds. A good and bad thing I guess! Law can be tricky, as there are a lot of cases you need to memorise, into order to reference them, or say which law they relate to. However, the content isn't necessarily difficult, just you need to revise it hard. Law is assed by a multiple choice exams (50%), and then another one at the end of the year (50%). Business and society focuses on the use of Ethics in business, along with a lot of sustainability issues. The ethics was not taught very well, and was somewhat boring, however, the rest of this module was quite interesting. Its assessed with a 100% exam at the end of the year! -Mathematics for economics: This is by far one of the hardest modules on the course. We cover difficult concepts in a lot of depth, and then have to relate them to economic theory, which can be tricky. It builds on a lot of things you already may know, such as calculus, matrices, etc... However, it covers them in a lot more detail, and with a lot of difficult methods. The module was defo the most hated amongst accounting and finance students, due to its difficulty. The exam was also very difficult, and many students left the exam thinking they had failed (i.e. not achieved the 40% pass mark). We then focus more on statistics in Semester 2, rather than the pure maths from Semester 1. Stats is easier, but still not easy. This is what I can say about the 24-25 course. Hope this helps :)

I stayed in The Quads. This info is all correct as of 2025. The Quads is one of the most expensive Uni Halls on campus, at around £9300 per year. There are bursary's available for some students to help with the cost. The benefits of Quads include: - large kitchen - a large lounge with a TV (most flats don't get a lounge). Lounge is shared between 2 flats. - Modern, lot of chargers in the rooms. - Great location near the Gym and East campus buildings. (and by the bus stop) - The Quads, especially Quads Bay are known to be great party flats. A lot of after party's, and pres happen here as we are close to the bus stop. It gets loud, but its also super fun. - EnSuite bathroom is a saviour! - Washing machine in the flat, meaning you don't have to carry your washing to a washing room The drawbacks of quads include: - expensive - rooms are really small compared to most - rooms get hot and stuffy due to their size - the lounge is never very clean lol. - Washing machine, but not tumble dryer, meaning you often have to dry clothes in your room. - Can be loud at night- but so is everywhere else! Quads overall is a great place to stay, however I would recommend Marlborough Court, and Polden above the Quads, as the rooms are bigger, and Polden still has a lounge. We also get £300 eat + drink credit each term for staying in the Quads, which can be used at any of the campus cafes, supermarkets, etc... This was super helpful, and I mostly spent mine on Pizzas around campus. Its so helpful for when you don't feel like cooking, due to a hangover, tiredness, or whatever it may be. ResLife- who manage the Unis accommodation, are super helpful, and sort out any issues within 24 hours max. There is also a 24/7 security team on campus, should you need them at any point. I wouldn't recommend city accommodation, as its way more helpful to be on campus for first year. Even during freshers, it so much easier to be on campus, than to have to travel back at like 2am- when you don't know the city very well. Pretty much everyone I've asked who's staying in the city regrets it. There's a lot of international students, especially in the more expensive accommodations at Bath. There's also a lot of private school students, who again dominate the most expensive accommodations. These can be things to consider! In terms of 2nd and 3rd year housing. You cannot continue to stay on campus. Houses are super competitive, and Oldfield Park is the most sought after place for students to live. Houses for 2nd year are just as expensive, if not more expensive than 1st year accommodation, and it was a stressful time trying to sort out who to live with, and finding + viewing houses. Most people had to secure a house without viewing it, due to the fact they would be taken before you even get the chance to view. So yeah, just warning you that finding houses will come round quickly and be very stressful , often towards Christmas, and January exams. Hope you get into Bath, and stay in some great accommodation :)

Wish there were more chain places on campus like the Starbucks but for food instead like a greggs or something
