Sort:Latest reviewsBath is such an amazing city to live and study in. It’s historic and beautiful during the day, yet at night the student life is far more vibrant and fun than most people assume. In terms of academics, the faculty genuinely care about the student experience and are so committed to improving your learning environment. Whether that is academic support and lectures, or support for mental health as well; the Uni is fantastic at ensuring students get what they need and more. I love going up to campus for lectures and feel genuinely excited for each and every day. Food on campus is just as great, with an incredibly diverse range of choice - there are plenty of world foods and classics to pick from. Wouldn’t have my Uni experience any other way.
It’s such a lovely city and campus always has a positive feel to it because on the way up on the bus you can see the lovely city and then on campus it’s so buzzy there’s lots of nice cosy places to study eat etc. worst aspects are assignments can be a little bit stressful when im not sure how to do them but i’d imagine this is the same for any uni
The student union are great, very committed to what they do. But uni bus prices are expensive and have become more expensive every year. Food on campus is great, loads of choices. Could be more study spaces, can become impossible to find a seat in management buidling or the library. Staff are great, especially placements team.
Large population of private school students which can feel jarring for working class.
A fantastic place to study. All departments and lecturers want to do their best for the students and improve the uni for the students. Also beautiful campus and location.
Best part is the campus, it’s really good and has everything you need. Only issue is the buses since it is in a remote place and they can sometimes be cancelled or delayed. Since campus is so good, the buses make or break it
Is a beautiful place and city and campus feels very safe Being part of a society makes you feel like part of a community Look of campus could be improved More support with assignments
I think campus is great! Some of the aspects I think that could be improved are the cleanliness of the STV specifically the changing rooms. While I think the new look of the student union is great, i might be fighting against the majority but I dont think that many pool tables are needed? Most times it is extremely hard to find a seat in the SU and sometimes it can be a bit annoying if the pool tables are also all empty.
Best: student support! The support is excellent, and the university always does their best to make education accessible. There’s also a huge sense of community. Worst: accommodation is expensive and very limited

The uni is located in one of the safest cities in the UK, with several parks and walking trails for people to stay connected to nature whilst studying. The university itself has strong connections to various industries, providing students with a strong foundation and support in securing employment. It also has a vibrant SU, with over 50 sports for students to take part in, and nearly a hundred societies for students to join. The university prides itself on the importance of a work-life balance. Perhaps one of the least desirable aspects of the university is its location, but there are accessible trains and coaches to get to other major cities quite easily.
Everyone in the school is really friendly and are willing to give a helping hand to anyone in need, I was one of the ones that got helped a lot from everyone in the school. I also enjoyed my course a lot, it is a fun and interesting course. It will be better if the bus service to the campus can be improved. The buses are not so reliable and I have been late to lectures multiple times due to the delayed buses.
The staff are incredible So many opportunities to get involved with research and projects Lots of help with career progression Very few vegetarian food options, healthy food options and cheap food options Buildings are not great and there is a lack of study spaces
Great career prospects, part-time jobs which can be done during the studies
There is a vibrant community and the lecturers are always willing to help one on one.
I've loved being at this university so far
Honestly such an amazing environment as it’s inclusive, with a very well organised system in terms of learning and the events that are organised.
Amazing SU, with great alumni that really make a difference. Great life/work balance with some many opportunities. Would recommend bath to anyone who is thinking of joining, or not! Although, the buses are a nightmare.
Amazing sports facilities and lots on offer.
The sports facilities are great and opportunities at the university are so diverse for very little relative cost. The Students are amazing with amazing opportunities. The worst aspect is probably the buses with them being unreliable and crammed

Bath is an amazing university for many reasons. Particular highlights include the easy to access student support, high quality teaching and facilities (especially for psychology). My only negative comment is that campus buildings appear quite dated but there is of course the gorgeous lake.
The majority of content is taught in-person and then put up online to allow you to catch up or go over lectures if need be. We have seminars each week which allow us to receive feedback and ask any questions. Each lecturer also has their office hour within which we can talk to them for more clarity.
The accommodation has a great location and is within close proximity to the places I need to be. The rooms are a good size with a spacious kitchen. Some things could do with updating or fixing but maintenance are usually very quick to respond to any issues.
