Sort:Latest reviewsI love the library and the school of management building. Best places to go when you want to study. I also love how there a quite a lot of cafe areas nearby every class i have so I don’t have to walk far for a cup of coffee. Cost of living would be my worst experience. Everything is expensive especially rent so its quite a struggle but im managing for now.
The range of facilities (sports and teaching) means that students are able to try new things, and have very rounded lives in addition to studies. Because of this, the students I am around are energetic and happy. This general enthusiasm for making the most of our time also translates to the very open and frequent discussions about how to set ourselves up for the future. Most students are very motivated to learn new skills and apply for professional experience. There's a feeling of making the most of every moment which shows me that I have ended up exactly where I belong.
:) great scholarship and bursary opportunities plenty of career development options - talks, PAL, classes, volunteering, jobs etc placements, research apprenticeships, internships :( location of uni - on top of a hill experienced long wait to begin therapeutic services

I didn't think the resources provided by the SU or the University were gonna be helpful but I gave them a go and they actually helped, I used studentpad for house viewings and the job listings page to find a job (I found my current part time job from the SU website) so I hope these resources can continue to operate and updated regularly so that all students can benefit from them when needed.
Very friendly campus, clean and lots to do.
Amazing campus with great facilities and 24/7 support from staff. Highly recommend! I’ve had an amazing experience at this university so far
Languages as a department doesn’t have its own designated classrooms so we often end up in very bizarre locations, whereas all other subjects have more designated teaching space. But overall, I would recommend Bath to anybody, I think that the support provided by the uni is excellent, and they really encourage all students to really make the most of their experiences.
Great support availability. Private study rooms could be more numerous
Great teaching staff, super receptive to unit reviews. Campus is nice and the walking route definitely helps reduce stress especially during exam seasons. Library is sometime crammed especially towards exam season.
One of the best parts of University of Bath is the plethora of places to study. There are a wide selection of places to grab food (which is always yummy) and find a table to study at, or quieter areas such as the library or in the Management building and more. It makes staying on campus and getting work done much easier and less daunting. The huge range of societies, sports and others as well as events organised by the student union is also amazing. There really is something for everyone, and you can tell a lot of thought went into it. Also excellent student support when needed, in a wide variety and high quality. Some of the worst aspects is just how far Campus is from the city. It may be easier as an undergraduate when you have campus accomodation, but not all of us had that and so some of us have to commute up every morning even though we're in our first year. It can be frustrating when buses are full, especially due to needing to buy a bus pass. Campus has some beautiful green areas but some of the buildings are a bit concrete and bland, perhaps taking away from the overall feel of campus.

First gen student
Best: support they gave for mental health Worst: close to city centre but sometimes the buses don’t run so can be annoying
The lectures are good
They offer a lot of support and advice for students struggling. The campus is far away with unreliable public transport and limited parking spaces but the campus and facilities on campus are good overall.
The university itself has amazing facilities for student wellbeing! The scholarships are really supportive awsell! The chemistry department is a bit disorganised
best is the course is so varied and lecturers are really supportive and worst is how they decide your flat mates in first year
Bath is a perfect place to study, the campus is relatively small and then there’s the city not far away which is a perfect balance. Also all my lectures are helpful and make the course enjoyable, especially in beginner spanish which was a little bit daunting at first but now the lecturers have made it fun and not scary at all. I love the fact that there are so many different societies and sports you can get involved in, there is truly something for everyone.
What I love is the fact I get to live in bath as a city. It is so beautiful and very different to where I live at home - its also safe which is great as a young woman who could be walking back late after a night out. The sports facilities are great and you get to use the pool for free! Improvement = the campus buildings aren't as pretty, there could also be an increase in the amount of study spaces as sometimes the library can be very busy or you don't want to study in library as you don't want to study in silence.
I love the student community at Bath. It is a very welcoming place to study and there are always opportunities to meet new people and really feel integrated into the university. I also really appreciate the ease of access to support, whether it be through personal tutors, lecturers or the student support centre. Having spoken with friends with different access needs, it seems as though the student support team is really proactive and attentive when it comes to attending to all students' needs, making it a great and inclusive place to study.
I have never felt so supported by an institution than I have by the Student Support team in UoBath. Their responses are super quick and helpful and they are ready and willing to provide any help they can!
4.4
Building is very functional but a bit dated, campus is in lovely countryside but is a bit far away from town.
Generally great teaching quality, lack of contact of tutors after first year unless self initiated. Great links with industry making for many placement / internship opportunities.
Accommodation was not cheap but did have bills included. Rooms were a good size, although 1 kitchen between 13 people was sometimes quite tight. Wifi always strong.
