The first plans that can be said eventually became the University of Bath were discussed in 1839, when plans for a college in the area were even presented to the reigning monarch at the time; Queen Victoria. Despite the lack of funding for the college at the time, other institutions were set up close by and, over the years, merged, expanded, and worked together, such as the Bristol Trade School and the Bath School of Pharmacy.Show more

View moreThe University of Bath is a really good university – the campus is very well laid out and easy to navigate. My accommodation in my first year (although was not my first choice) was enjoyable and I’m really enjoying the course so far (Sociology). All the lecturers are keen to help you achieve and they teach really well.
View moreThe course has a range of written coursework, speaking exams and timed exams which has allowed me to develop a range of skills, which prepares me for the work place. Also, as I am covering different aspects allowing me to pick which avenue I want to proceed down in the future, but also allowing me specialise in my strengths. I would recommend this if you have an intrested in developing down this career pathway.
View moreThe programme in and of itself is quite a challenging one considering most students applying for the course arrive with limited knowledge of its intricacies, however most professors and tutors are quite understanding of this and allocate time and energy into ensuring students grasp information and can succeed in the respective unit/module. The facilities, specifically those relevant to the Computer Science course are quite impressive with several areas, computers, 3D printers, Aruduino boards, etc allotted especially for computer science students. Lectures however can be somewhat redundant to attend as material may be repeated, or some professors make the assumption that students already understand the material presented to them which many-a-times is not the case. The computer science community including students from the same year and years above as well as some professors is very tight-knit and accepting having many streams of communication as well as cultures, ethnicities and backgrounds – in fact the university as a whole is fairy international in comparison to most others. The student life is good, especially for freshers there are many activities and events organised to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and accepted in their new venture and the students union is quite involved in many aspects of your university life. The town is pretty lively considering there are many students in Bath so nightlife tends to be quite good, Bristol is also quite accessible and its nightlife is great. University of Bath is quite a reputable university so I am quite confident that following the completion of my degree my career prospects will not be limited, this is backed up by evidence from alumni who have progressed into well-paying and activating professions.
View moreSemi-interesting lectures, decent level of support. The campus location is positive along with accommodation and food and drink facilities. Transportation to the city centre could be well improved but overall a good experience.
View moreThe students come from very diverse backgrounds and there are many international students in the university which makes settling in the uni life a very easy process. You make friends by going to various events which are held for international students. The one problem I face is the fees structure. The fee when I started the programme was 18,000 pounds, which has now increased to 23,000 pounds in just 2 years. The university should understand that everyone went through a tough time during the pandemic and it makes the payment of the fee even more difficult. But the teaching staff is very friendly and accommodating, and help us through everything.
View moreSome of the classrooms/lecture rooms are worn out and most do not have plugs at desks so you cannot charge laptops etc but the teaching quality is good. lots of support from DOS and other staff regarding mental health etc and putting Into place plans to help with the study.
