914 reviews for University of Bath

Blended learning ( only one online course ) - hours are few but at difficult times in the day ( example, 9-11am or 4-6pm). Frequent disparities in marking from different teachers can be discouraging , but you simply work through it.

Bath is a gorgeous place , with beautiful architecture. The Busses are fairly reliable with the timetable always updating. I’ve found part time work since coming to the university. However , bath is an incredibly expensive place to live , rivalling London prices. It also lacks diversity.

I love Norwood. It is the cheapest standard room accomodation - and for what we pay , the room sizes are incredible. The view is also phenomenal, being in one of the higher up buildings. Security are super efficient &the maintenance team are phenomenal. An extra plus is that our bins are one of the few on campus that still get taken out for us ( prevents the flatmates arguing over bins)

I’ve found the course to be well-structured, with a strong emphasis on hands-on learning and real-world applications. The modules cover a good mix of theory, programming, and practical robotics, making it highly relevant to industry needs. The facilities, including robotics labs and simulation tools, are excellent, though more flexibility in lab access would be beneficial. Support from lecturers is generally strong, and the coursework challenges students to apply their knowledge effectively. Overall, it’s a great program for anyone looking to develop expertise in robotics and automation.

Teaching pace of lectures

Provide a game room, or free access to the game room in Uni, as all other city accomodation s have free game rooms

One of the most comforting aspects of my Social Sciences course at the University of Bath is the unwavering support. My academic tutor, a constant presence in my academic journey, is always there to guide me through everything, from coursework to career planning. This personal touch makes the experience feel more like a partnership than a student-teacher relationship. The lecturers, too, are approachable, and I find it easy to connect with them during office hours, which is a significant advantage when I need help or want to discuss ideas. The teaching style is not just engaging, it's a catalyst for intellectual growth. The lectures are not long, monotonous talks; they are interactive and thought-provoking, sparking lively discussions and challenging our perspectives. The combination of in-class and independent learning provides a good balance between structure and flexibility, keeping us engaged and stimulated. Another highlight is the wealth of opportunities available beyond the classroom. The campus is a hub of resources to expand my knowledge, from open events to guest lectures and volunteering opportunities. These help me gain broader perspectives and practical experience and inspire me to explore and learn more. If I had to point out a downside, it would be that sometimes the workload can feel overwhelming, especially when multiple deadlines coincide. It would be helpful to have more structured guidance on managing time effectively. Also, while the library and study spaces are excellent, they can become crowded during peak times, making it difficult to find a quiet spot to work.

Living in Polden Court offers an excellent combination of space and comfort. The rooms are spacious, providing ample opportunity to study and relax. An ensuite bathroom with a mini fridge is a significant advantage, as it adds convenience to daily life. The kitchen, equipped with a stove, microwave, and ample storage, is perfect for cooking, and having laundry facilities eliminates the need to carry a basket of clothes across campus. Another positive aspect is the peaceful atmosphere. While some accommodations can be pretty noisy, Polden Court maintains a nice balance—it’s social enough to meet people in common areas and during organized events, yet quiet enough in the rooms to focus when necessary. The location is very convenient, making it easy to navigate around campus. If I were to suggest an area for improvement, it would be the cost; while it is on the higher side, you truly get what you pay for in terms of space and facilities. Socially, although it may not be the most vibrant accommodation, it is ideal for those who prefer a more relaxed and independent living environment. However, there is potential for improvement in this area. More organised events within the halls could enhance the experience and provide more opportunities to meet people, giving hope for a more vibrant social life.

All good.

Course should not take students from non finance backgrounds

Perfect place but can have silent pods

Need more support with practicals as I don't know how to write a good lab report

I like my studio as I like having my own facilities

All parts of the course are great

Facilities are very nice but it’s easily get full and hard to find seats so I just ended up studying in my room.
