The University of Bath

Bath for the most part isn't the nicest uni to look at, but constant development (interior and exterior) means that it is slowly but surely being modernised! Campus is perfect for school leavers: not too big, not too small! Most buildings are a 5 mins walk away. Chemistry buildings are some of the more modern buildings, placed over to one end of campus near the doctors office. Thursday morning labs initially seem a bit of a trek but soon you realise it's not so bad! The teaching is amazing for the most part, and assessment is tough but not overwhelming.

The campus is pleasant and has a good balance of buildings and greenery. The course is engaging and offers a broad choice of modules and excellent teaching. The careers service in my experience is easy to use but perhaps requires more specificity to particular courses and the options available to people on specific courses. All campus based events including freshers week and summer ball are well organised and have in the past been good value for money.

Great campus, really picturesque with the lake as the focal point. Investment into study spaces has meant there is an increase in spots to study on campus. Fab sports facilities, and with campus being compact everything is really close by.

Compact campus, minimal walking between lectures, some buildings on east side of campus outdated however nice new buildings on the west side. Mechanical engineering course very good, good provisions for labs and also supportive tutors

I would’ve rated my university five stars if not for the issues with the vice chancellor. It is a fantastic university, and the rest of the staff are great along with an amazing wellbeing team and security team.

The university is built on a beautiful site with beautiful campus buildings. The course is well structured although it is a bit hard. The students are very bright and hardworking which motivates me to study hard. The library is very small although it is not very pretty. The buses to campus are sometimes late which is frustrating.

There's lots of great facilities to take advantage of at the Uni of Bath, including a great sports training village, library and several other study spaces. However, at peak times particularly during revision periods, these spaces can easily become overwhelmed, particularly The Virgil building in Bath city centre, so be sure to get there early. There are several places to eat on campus, 4W café and Lime Tree are my favourites, but there is also the Parade Bar and Café and also a new vegetarian place. You can also take advantage of the on store shops, Fresh, there is a larger fresh by Santander bank and a smaller on inside the SU, depending on what you need. In the Summer months there is a beautiful lake on campus to take advantage of.

Great uni! Glad I came here to study. I enjoy the teaching and everything about the uni. I has a really good atmosphere and I've had loads of fun being here

Bath's architecture course is well structured and well rounded, and the small, weekly tutorial groups are greatly appreciated. Feedback for design studio is excellent, but lacking in some other modules (e.g. detailed design). Biggest complaint about the course structure is the split placement program, as it is a real logistical nightmare trying to get short term accommodation in such a small town.

High quality facilities, slightly overpriced in some areas but £1 canteen is very popular. Campus is compact and well layed out with plenty of room to relax but insufficient room for studying during busy periods. Student union is awesome, club nights are the best on Campus, vice chancellor gets paid too much

Good, mostly understandable lectures. I do sometimes feel some lessons depend too much on the PowerPoint and don't provide extra information. They don't prepare you for examination early on, which I believe should be talked about from the beginning as layout and explanation of what needs to be done in the exam isn't clear enough, especially regarding essay style questions. It would be nice to know what kind of essays scored the highest marks and what should be included in them.

It is an intersting place that combines people of various walks of life in a beautiful spa town. The university is very helpful in helping students get good jobs and progress further on their life paths.

Campus is a bit small, compared to others I’ve been to and seen. The facilities are cool although we need more vending machines everywhere. Course is amazing, I enjoy it

Seriously cannot praise it enough - I love it here. The campus is so pretty and has everything you need (shops, cafes, etc) and the campus just has such a nice feel in general. Everyone’s so friendly. I’m in The Quads accommodation which is so nice, great facilities and a shared lounge between each two flats. The psychology department is amazing, all the lecturers are so passionate and engaging, and the facilities are great. Bath itself is lovely, not as much nightlife as a bigger city but I find it enough and there’s so many shops/restaurants etc in town. Easy bus ride to get to/from the town as well.

The psychology course is particularly good at Bath, especially with the year out on placement. There is the opportunity to work abroad for a year, or in excellent research and clinically based services.

Uni is set across a large green campus, plenty of facilities for sports, buses etc. Lots of activities to do in free time. Career services useful at uni and for support after graduation

Although its a bit troublesome to get to the city centre from the campus as we have to take a bus. But the city centre of Bath is really pretty. Great variety of food available in the campus. Gym facilities are good but membership is too pricey.

I love my university and have made some amazing friends here, however there’s a lot to be improved, for example, they keep accepting too many studebts, the campus is overflowing and can’t keep uo

Campus is absolutely fantastic for a sport lover of any ability. The economics course covers all aspects of the subject with great depth for experienced and knowledgeable lecturers. The placement scheme is also top notch, and excellently run. Only downside is the whole uncertainty and scandal around the vice chancellor
