Sort:Latest reviewsThe University of Bath is truly an exceptional place to study. Nestled in a charming small town rich with history and culture, it offers a perfect balance of academic excellence and a vibrant community life. While being away from family and home can be challenging, the university has a way of making up for it with its warm, inclusive environment that feels like a second home. The supportive faculty and close-knit campus community create a sense of belonging, making the experience not just about education but also about personal growth and connection.
Best: sports facilities and opportunities ( offered through societies ) are phenomenal Worst: Bath can feel quite small sometimes
I love how you can study such a well established course, such as the Bath MPharm, in Plymouth with all the benefits of being a student at both. The support services are indisputably amazing from pastoral and academic support. In addition, being close to the sea is just lovely!
The sport here is really good and so are the placement opportunities
Bath is a very inclusive university with great academic support and loads of clubs and societies. The city is a nice place to spend time.
The University of Bath is full of kind people who make the campus feel like a home. The opportunities to take part in activities and meet new people is great and makes it a lovely place to go to university.
- campus uni = sense of community - good contact hours - range of teaching approaches - lots of support available
Living on campus is good, the rooms are modern, there are food shops and cafes. Nice walks around campus. There are lots of different study spaces Food outlets - there are lots of different places to eat during the weekdays but the food is always the same. During the evening and weekends most food outlets are closes so you can either eat pizza or chicken and chips. Busses very unreliable. It's difficult to plan to going into the city for a certain time or get a train when you don't know if the bus will get there in time or even turn up. They are also often full so don't stop at every stop for people to get on.
The best is finding a community which promotes diversity and constant support. I haven’t experienced any bad aspects quite as yet
A friendly environment which is surprising for such a prestigious university, extremely happy so far
I love how close the uni feels like a community

The community and support we recieve is amazing. The sports side of the uni has great resources and offeres fun extra curricular learning. The area of Bath is very pretty however can be quite quiet at times. An improvement could be that some of the lecture halls and buildings are quite old however most of my lectures are in newer buildings so this is less of a concern for me.
Best parts = The School of Management Building is a fantastic place to work and network with like-minded individuals. Also, the SU is brilliant for similar reasons and the library is a great location to concentrate. Playing sport is incredibly fun too at the University's fantastic facilities. Worst part = The bus journey to campus from Oldfield can be very tedious and difficult. Some buses get cancelled and the journey can be heavily delayed.
It has a great reputation and gives lots of opportunities after graduation. The city of Bath is also really great. The campus could be updated a bit with better food options!
Best experience - placement opportunities and being able to achieve goals that I don't feel would have been possible elsewhere Worst experience - beginning my university journey during COVID in 2020 which limited activities such as joining sports clubs
Best aspects: friend sand societies Worst aspects: limited amount of washing machine, people coming back at midnight drunk and noisy
The University offers lots of activities for engagement in student life, such as many societies and sports groups. My course allows me a good work-life balance. The University has taken positive moves towards being environmentally friendly, such as through the fact that it has a fully vegan dining establishment. Buses to campus are fairly regular and it is easy to get around campus.
Best: - Bath is a beautiful city - Sports facilities are excellent - Campus is in an ideal location - access to walking, access to town etc - Lots going on the summer - make campus a desirable place to be - Lots of great study spaces Improvement: - More going on campus - can sometimes feel a bit dead in the winter - More student deals at cafes, shops, food places etc
4.4
Every one is super friendly and there are always lots of events happening on campus which is a great way to meet new people.
Course is taught mostly in person with just a couple of lectures online a week. There are 20 contact hours a week which is done through lectures and tutorials. Lecturers have a weekly office hour which you can attend if you have any questions. There is also homework help available
House is well looked after. It is ever so slightly off campus ( 5 min walk) which makes it slightly trickier to go back in between lectures especially when they are the other side of campus.
