Some modules provide more support than others academically but overall the course is super interesting and enjoyable

Extremely expensive place to live but absolutely beautiful

Despite being the cheapest , it’s super sociable, large and spacious rooms and very central on campus.

Disorganized at times and sometimes lacks a clear route. But you can make an interesting mix of subjects.

Chemistry lectures are great, pharmacy simulation sessions are really helpful. Would be better if less of the bio was pre recorded

Now that we are back to in person teaching, there are 4 taught modules per semester with 4 in person lectures a week per module. Problems classes occur usually once a fortnight for each module and take up one of the lecture slots per week. One day a week is normally dedicated to labs for a 5th experimental/coursework focussed module. This works well providing you can keep up with the lecture content as well doing the problem sheets outside of lectures to be discussed and walked through at a problems class. The problems occur when you fall behind you prioritise the lectures as oppose to the problem sheets which where you are doing much of the exam preparation. There is a separate 1 hour a week tutorial with your personal tutor who is often a lecturer or certainly someone within the department. This is mostly just a chat in groups of 4 but you can discuss your modules here and ask for help with any problems. The experimental part of the 5th module works well and in 2nd and 3rd year you spend half of these leading your own project. Within this module there is also a programming aspect that involves handing in coursework normally once per semesters.

Bath is a stunning city. There are plenty of places to go out like bars and there are around 4 nightclubs providing a relatively active nightlife. The downside is mostly of these places are really expensive so going anywhere other than spoons will cost you £5/6 a pint for example.

My tutor isn’t the best and we have different sorts of lecturers. Some of them are really cool and interesting and others just make you hate the lecture so much that you don’t end up going.

Interesting town, quite diverse but not the best for activities.

It’s not clean but then again, uni accommodation. Wouldn’t recommend living in halls for people who are obsessed with cleaning because you will lose your mind.

As you move to the next year there us definitely less interaction with tutors and more independent studying required. This is not to say that tutors are not available. It is very easy to arrange meetings either online or in person.

A little high priced for quads considering the space you get but Solsbury is excellent

In my first year it was all in person and I enjoyed that. Subsequent years have been heavily impacted by COVID and I think many of the changes will stay.

I went for the pricier accommodation, but it was definitely the nicest. Probably not the most social however.

There is a blend of online and in person contact hours, however the contact with lecturers is often not great

Some of the compulsory modules aren’t fun or engaging Lovely helpful lecturers

Such a beautiful city Feels more like a town than a city because of size

Great town location and value for money Wifi occasionally down but that’s always a uni wide issue

Bath has an amazing civil engineering department which is relatively new and boasts lots of studio space along with two workshops on the ground floor. Along with this it’s other building has many great spaces to study and the labs. The lectures and content are good, it’s very varied and has a large emphasis on sustainability. I am on a placement year and it is something hugely advertised at Bath and their team is amazing and super supportive with providing help and email updates of jobs and courses which can help us get placements. Thanks to this I managed to secure my first choice placement! I would say that some of the lectures vary with some being engaging and great at teaching their subject and others less so. I think that some of the facilities do need some up dating but the content so far has been very relatable to the real world and what the problems that the engineering industry are currently facing.

Bath is a great place to be a student, coming from London I have to admit it’s a big change to feel so safe somewhere and because of this I feel very lucky. It’s a beautiful historic town, though unfortunately slightly hilly, the views are amazing further up the hill that bath is situated in. It’s a great student town with plenty of space to study, great locations to eat and plenty of pubs and bars. Though it is a bit more expensive to live in compared to other places it makes up for it with the opportunities that are available within Bath. I love it here and anyone who comes to university here is sure to fall in love !

Polden is one of the newer accommodations on the Bath campus though it is spectacular with great views of Bath. However, it is very pricy and the most expensive available. But the washing machines in the kitchen make up for it slightly, as washing is free and easy to do. There are cleaners twice every week which is great to ensure you are keeping it clean and the rooms are amazing with beautiful on suites and double beds. There is also loads of room for storage which is a big must. I loved it there and it’s in a slightly quieter part of campus which is nice as it means that you can get a peacefully nights sleep when not going out. Overall, it’s an amazing accommodation and if you can get it I would go for it !!
