Chemistry PhD

University of Bath

Bath has lovely students and all of the staff have been super friendly and accommodating! The campus is nice on a sunny day but sometimes looked a bit drab. I have never had to attend student support (luckily) so have very neutral opinions about them. The facilities are quite good. I have never had a problem with the bathrooms and there are loads of them everywhere. There's multiple coffee shops and that sell cheap and yummy drinks. There are good spaces to revise that are cute. However, sometimes these spaces are very full.

It's been very fun meeting everyone. The lecturers are very clear and the campus is very good and has everything we need.

A great campus feel with very good teaching and support staff. There are great opportunities for co-curriculars and additional study. The one problem, not necessarily associated with the uni itself, is the ‘nightlife’. While not bad, it’s not comparable to a larger city

Bath is a nice city. 1St year on campus is a really good experience. Overloaded timetable with little break. Very expensive so unless on a large student budget you will struggle to participate in everything. this applies to outlets on campus too. They do have £1.50 meals but they are tiny portions and very stingy. Bus to uni is a nightmare

The staff are lovely and really support you pastorally and academically throughout your time at Bath. It's an academically rigorous course that challenges you in ways you would not expect. Campus is great with lots of food and drink outlets. It could be improved by being a bit more reinforcing in terms of the content we learn rather than just constantly learning new material. I think this would boost student confidence in chemistry.
