BSU is a great community with great resources. You will feel supported and encouraged to strive for success in your degree!
The student union has honestly been one of the best parts of my uni experience. It’s such a welcoming space, there’s always something happening, from fun events to helpful workshops. The staff and student reps are so supportive and really listen to what we need. I’ve met amazing people here, grabbed countless coffees between classes, and always feel part of a real community.
Really beautiful university, interesting courses and a very recommendable Institution for socialising with diverse people
The University of Bath offers excellent teaching, modern facilities, and great career opportunities. The campus is beautiful, the staff are supportive, and the city of Bath provides a perfect balance of culture and student life. Highly recommended for anyone seeking quality education in a welcoming environment!
The university is really amazing and im so happy that I got in
It has an amazing environment great atmosphere and amazing resources. Feel so welcome
The campus, facilities and all the other sources that make up bathspa are outstanding !
The campus is beautiful and facilities are adequate. The food is reasonably priced especially for bath. There are mainly gender neutral toilets but there are some gendered toilets. The campus is split into 2 parts which is alright if you want to get your steps in. However, this can make days stressful as the timetabling is awful with some students having back to back lessons all day on opposite sides of campus. Cramped timetabling so far has been hugely detrimental to my learning as I have no time to eat lunch so updating or reviewing notes is impossible. The WiFi can be very hit or miss. Especially when logging attendance on the BSU app due to the high volume of people at the same time.
I’ve been really enjoying it here so far, the staff have been really friendly and welcoming

So many clubs, societies and everyone's incredibly welcoming. You can join anytime although taster sessions run after freshers week. 90% are free due to funding from Bath Spa - meaning you can try out anything you'd like! There's lots of student union events during freshers however it does slightly reduce afterwards (which is understandable).
It’s been two weeks since I’ve joined and I should say I have had a really good experience at Bath Spa. The Welcome week hosted by student union was lovely! I had a chance to meet new people and the atmosphere made you feel included.
The university places a strong emphasis on students, in terms of activities, academics, and social life. I like that the university is open, allowing all students to have freedom and be themselves.
Bath Spa is an excellent creative university, it always has events and opportunities that makes students motivated and excited about their futures.
I've really enjoyed my time at Bath Spa so far. The campus is beautiful and has a peaceful, creative atmosphere that makes it a great place to study. The staff are supportive, and the architecture course has challenged me in a good way – it’s hands-on, with a strong focus on design thinking and sustainability. There’s a good balance between academic learning and practical work, and I’ve met some great people along the way. Looking forward to continuing into my second year.
good uni great campus, some staff are unorganized
I love The Depot very very much! Have already booked for another year
Bath Spa have two campuses, and I'm situated at Locksbrook Campus. It has a good variety of workshops and technical equipment. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my university campus- however something that I think should be improved on, is there is very little seating at Locksbrook. Compared to Newton Park which has so many spots for quiet study out of class time, Locksbrook had very few. Especially when exhibitions on and tables and chairs are removed to make space.
im a third year student and have had a lovely time here! the lecturers are always supportive and lectures are always stimulating and interesring, will be very emotional graduating!
Bath Spa University is an outstanding institution that offers a unique and enriching educational experience. The campus is beautifully designed, blending modern facilities with stunning green spaces, creating an inspiring environment for learning. The university prides itself on its creative approach to education, encouraging students to think critically and express themselves in innovative ways.
Absolutely the perfect university for myself. Wonderful staff, amazing facilities, gorgeous space and views, and excellent courses as well as online learning.
its a very pretty place and nice accommodation expensive, get to learn ane expand your knowledge and meet people that become friends and some connections for the future
Amazing campus, friendly staff, great lecturers
I love being part of the university. The clubs are a great way to meet new people if you’re new in university
I love life at uni, very chill atmosphere. Clubs are great, staff are great, really good experience.
Great university. 0 complaints. Very pleasant atmosphere and lots of support provided when and where needed. Very responsive systems in place. Social life is great, campus is gorgeous, events are fun, courses are very well organised, lecturers are amazing. Couldn't be better.
Very good staff and social place
great uni, no problems, great social side to things
It was great in first year. But the push for the new agenda of business skills has made my degree tedious
Everything is great for a uni student, the facilities, social events etc. And the nature is such a bonus!
I’m really enjoying my time at Bath Spa university. The campus is decent and well-equipped, offering a variety of societies that cater to every interest imaginable—from sports to the arts. The student union is active and supportive, constantly organising events and providing help whenever needed. It’s a great place for anyone looking to thrive academically and socially.
The university is beautiful and so peaceful. I have no complaints other than the wifi can be a bit bad sometimes but nothing unbearable.
Bath Spa University provides a strong and safe environment to explore academia, make new friends and develop as an individual with support available and opportunities that can help you reach life goals.
I believe Bath Spa University provides an excellent experience for University life, from the historic, student-friendly city of Bath, to the calming campus located off from the busy Bristol-bound roads. There is a succinct travel route to the main campus via the U5 bus, accompanied by the FirstBus app, allowing all students to easily plan their journey back and forth. Off campus accommodation is a strong point of this University, with most students being located around major shopping hubs and other amenities. Throughout my experience here, I have come to thoroughly enjoy the scenery around campus, backed by a huge patch of countryside containing cows and sheep, as well as a patch of forest and a lake. I also find that the Student Union is very interactive, scarcely going a day without interaction with the general student population, as well as reminders via email and events in the main campus building. Supporting a tranquil lifestyle, I highly recommend this University.
Bath spa university has a community feel and brilliant art facilities in locksbrook campus in particular. It has beautiful grounds, an excellent well-being and career services as well as being located in the beautiful city of Bath.
I love the activities planned and they make you feel welcome and part of a family. Always organising big nights out and having loads of fun
The campus is well laid out and accessible. There are also plenty of local walks which are beautiful and a real asset to the uni
The uni is great and offers lots of support
Love it :) i think the internet can be made better
A great university. The place is beautiful and I honestly have no complaints other than the bad wifi
Internet can be a bit dodgy on campus but it’s never too big of an issue and can usually be fixed.
So glad i chose this university, beautiful campus and lovely staff, excited to be staying on for year 2.
Bath Spa overall is a good uni to be at!
Overall the flats and staff are amazing
Great facilities and society helped with making friends
I was in locksbrook campus which is nice and so easy to get to if living in Charlton or waterside. And been to Newton and it’s so nice in and out of the campus
Bath Spa University has allowed me meet many of my new friends who I’m sure I will remain in contact with over the next few years, as well as becoming more in tune with my desired subject.
Beautiful campus, good lectures and social clubs
Some clubs and societies are touch and go. More often than not, they seemed to be in the early stages of its formation making things seem a bit unorganized but the volleyball club really had me in the clutches.
I love the Uni. Everyone is always ready to help. The facilities are amazing! I’m sure there are some flaws but no where is perfect. Overall a fantastic university with outstanding opportunistic for the students! Lots of care
Wifi can be off at times, but okay
24/7 friendly staff and events that are inclusive and inventive.
Brilliant campus and facilities, and all the staff are lovely with the correct processes in place to help students with all their needs.
Amazing facilities and great staff
The uni is great, especially all the tutors in my course they're all really helpful and sweet. The art shop is really helpful as well.
Really really easy to move in very very helpful and lovely staff would recommend so much also a lovley room
Great for facilities, welcoming stuff and a safe and creative space to work in.
eszter was great help through my time at waterside
Great uni, love going there. Facilities are great
Great so far, clean facilities and kind staff course is super fun!
Societies are great and the Locksbrook campus is very nice.
A good location with tricky entrances. However, the sector I worked had great facilities and had a lot to offer to accommodate me when I’m study or in seminars. I gave some clubs and societies ago but found balancing time with them and study difficult, though I thought they are well-run.
Decent uni, gorg campus, big fan
Nothing is perfect, pretty much like I rated above...
Very good place, has amazing professors who are all willing to help when you have issues. It is a picturesque university, a good space to be. Amazing facilities too
Poor effort in terms of reaching out to struggling students, makes it really seem like it’s all about money and therefore student wellbeing is ignored. When I first joined, there was a welcome speech in which students were notified that this is quite a small University in comparison to others, yet students like me were still made to feel unnoticed:) There are a few exceptions and lecturers which showed interest and care in regards to my situation, that’s why I’m excited to be surrounded by those people next year, however I definitely feel a lot of resentment towards my University.
great facilities, especially for what i do
My experience has been good and hope this continues in the next years
My course is accredited by Bath Spa but is based in Bristol. So I’ve never been to Bath Spa campus. And I generally don’t have anything to do with them.
Beautiful campus, staff always lovely
good university and good university experience with room for improvement
Each campus is very nice and presentable, good support from staff, and a good social area.
A very unfriendly place to study, haven’t made any good memories whilst at campus. Little engagement with the classes/classmates. Lectures are okay but whole experience still effected from Covid and strikes. Would study elsewhere
Reasonably small for a uni, so socially not the best, but maintained pretty well, experience varies course to course
Bath Spa is an excellent university and I will feel incredibly sad when I have to graduate and leave this summer. It has a beautiful campus which is fantastic for well-being, as well as a wonderful community feel with the staff and students. The SU do a fantastic job at ensuring the student experience is as good as possible, and they make sure all student voices are heard. An overall wonderful university
I love the campus, it’s so beautiful and the facilities are incredible.
Lovely campus, lots of opportunities
amazing university glade i ended up here
Good support from staff, there's a decent range of societies but no where near as many as the main Bath university. Campus is beautiful. lecturers are really good and the facilities are new and clean. Overall it's a great uni.
The facilities are really good, staff are lovely. Could be a bit better with communication and online devices
on the music courses we have amazing lecturers, not always easy to get a hold of but always around to encourage us.
Excellent resources and teaching, best option for students!
Newton park campus is super scenic and makes the 9am starts worth it
Great uni, although I can’t comment on accommodation facilities as I don’t live there :)
I study textiles for fashion and interiors - I love my course and the teachers are really helpful and inspiring
just now If I could give it 0 I probably would. This university has caused so much suffering to so many people. They mess up courses. Promises you things you can't actually take and then say it is too late to change. The marking (in performance based lectures) are biased. Combined lectures can be messed up. They threaten you not to complain if you have an issue (even not telling you there is a complaint system separate from the university). One student was locked in a room by the lecturer and told not to appeal his grade. Another student threatened not to complain until after graduation, by then the deadlines for complaints was closed. For me, they never even told me there was a complaint system that was separate from my course. I thought I would get bad grades if I complained. I didn't know until after about the students union complaint department. They do not advertise it. Mental Health service is terrible. You get no support. All the different departments for graduation,
2020 making the best out of a terrible situation
The Uni captured most of the things it said about itself on paper, truly on arrival I met the most amazing support which made my study quiet interesting. If you are the party type and less study kinda fella, Bath might not be your place. Communication is excellent when you open up.
Lack of communication. Overly Bureaucratic. Campus, although beautiful is miles away from Bath and walking into town could take upwards of 45 minutes to an hour. The accommodation in town (Green Park, Charlton Court, Waterside) is massively overpriced for what you are getting. Many societies but only few are active. The campus is beautiful but honestly, just go for a walk there rather than study.
Wifi is terrible. Usually can't access stuff in lectures because of it and it goes down a lot and is slow.
Love Bath Spa, Newton is the nicest campus literally like living in a fairy tale
It is very good indeed has fun only thrown up twice so far
Students Union by far is the best part of this institution
Great Campus, seemingly lack of rooms for my course
Basically a great University, but it’s not the place if your wanting uni for its nightlife!
I’m a work alone kind of guy and not on campus so I don’t really know anything about careers services
Bath Spa is a great University as it is not so big. The lectures and seminars are more personal with lecturers having the capacity to focus on the individual students and their enquiries.
Some great pastoral care, but courses can be tedious. No real sense of communication either
Beautiful university and campus, Gardens accommodation is amazing and there's a great mix of different societies. I'm really happy I chose this uni and bath is such a lovely City as well!
amazing university，beautiful environment！！
