University of Bath (reviews)

The 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.

The 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.

Semi-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.

The 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.

Some 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.

The course teaches how to develop a strong mathematical base and an understanding of the balanced combination of science and technology, including necessary software tools(Python, SQL, Oracle) for putting knowledge into reality, specifically in tackling the issues associated with small and large data sets.

It is a tough degree but very interesting. It is well taught and labs are fun and a really good way to meet people on the course! My highlight so far has been placement which the university really helps with.

My programme (management) is very general in terms of disciplines but forms a great asset in the end.

I would recommend it to anyone who, like me, does not know what they want to do for their future but know they want to make a decent amount of money and keep as many doors open as possible.

I am studying Politics and International relations with a Placement year. My programme is very well-taught and the professors are dedicated to delivering excellent knowledge, through various seminars and through lectures. The campus is very nice and everything is organized so well. One of the best things in our university is also the sports base – one of the best in the U.K. The university provides help with finding a placement for your 3rd year and you receive a lot of support from your tutors as well.

The programme is very insightful with a nice balance of quantitative (e.g. statistic, forecasting) discursive modules (e.g. organizational behavior). Students are well supported by the academic team. The timetable is manageable and allows for an adequate amount of spare time.
