It’s good that its all in one place, staff really care about what they do
One of the top 100 universities in the world
Nice experience studying here in Bath. The facilities were great and the university area is really beautiful. Also it is easy to go to uni.
Overall lovely campus, they meet everyone’s needs. Lots of different social activities, ones that don’t include drinking too! All the staff are lovely and obviously the facilities are amazing
Campus is a Long way from some of the accommodations they offer, but overall a good uni
Bath is competently managed commercial bore. I have never once felt truly encouraged to try and do anything interesting or new. If you have a studious but unworldly attitude to learning (think Hermione Granger with less intuition) then bath is probably the place for you. The sports facilities are fantastic.
Going into my final year in September. Despite doing my 2nd year during Covid, I have enjoyed my time in Bath so far. The town is nice, big enough that you can do and buy most things, but not too busy that it would be distracting. University's sport and learning facilities are, for the most part, new and to a high standard, and have never had an issue with the staff.
Great library, lots of places to get food, lovely to sit by the lake. Well educated and passionate lecturers
Overall pretty good university, could do with better options for lunch and sometimes the Wifi is bad.
Great experience, the only downside is the university is on a hill and takes forever to get up there by bus
I do like the university and the quality of education. Lots of facilities. Most lectures and seminars were in person which i really liked. However, I found socialising very hard and didn’t make many friends. Lots of events going on, but i guess i just didn’t find my people. i found that some things in the uni didn’t make sense at all but that might just be personal preference
A large natural campus with all lecture halls within 10 minutes of residence, short bus journey into town
Enjoy my experience at the University everyone is very friendly and the facilities are great!
This is really not a good place for international students because the University management always tries to take advantage of overseas students by doing all sorts of unfair things. Besides, this is not a good place for engineering research especially mechanical engineering because these supervisors are extremely selfish. This place is full of hypocritical people in the management level who don't have the right perception and most of them are corrupted and controlled by the University system. This makes them don't really care about the student experience but do whatever increases the profit of the University of Bath. Really a shame to be part of this place.
Campus and facilities are good, have everything I need. Haven’t been involved in many clubs/societies but know lots of people who are. SU has lots of activities, but is quite expensive. Haven’t personally used the careers service yet but am aware of lots of support available. Wifi is also good.
My overall experience at the University of Bath was amazing. I've had the chance to do two placements and an academic exchange program. During the pandemic, the lecturers have worked hard to make the online learning experience as rewarding as possible.
Wasn’t the best during Covid times but they did try to help a little bit at the start of the year to help with initial move in and such but not a very good effort through out the rest of the year.
A really good university that cares for it's students, but it is also an expensive area
I really enjoyed my experience at Bath university. I made some great friends. I liked the fact that the campus was small and everything was close togethor. I thought the options for societies and clubs was really good - I got to try lots of new things. I liked the fact that they had 24/7 security
Brilliant uni that did especially well in the pandemic compared to others
So far my experience has been fantastic. I felt both academically and mentally supported by the university. The campus has essentials and some nice luxuries too - from an on campus grocery to a nightclub and pub.
Great uni everyone come to Bath it’s the best
I hardly ever go to the campus this semester due to the pademic, but I can feel that the teachers and the staffs are friendly and patient.
Amazing university with amazing facilities
They dont care about their students at all
The best university! Love being here
For me the biggest perk of going to the UoB was living in Bath. It really is a phenomenal city with so much beautiful countryside to explore around it. But the university itself was not great - the campus is ugly and the food options are far from affordable. My course had a mix of really awful lecturers (roll out of bed and improv kind of thing) and amazing ones. The course itself was not as rigorous or challenging as it should have been and some modules were shameless filler, but the labs were excellent (aside from electronics experiments which were mediocre). I had a really mixed experience at Bath. It is a sporty uni and while I enjoy fitness, I am not a sporty person. I think this made it much harder to fit in. That said, there are loads of other societies beyond the sports clubs so you can find your niche. The library was good, but it was often very difficult to find a computer. The gym was always rammed from wall to wall but has since been extended.
Adapted really well and provided a great first ye mar experience
Great place to study in a very charming part of the world. Highly recommended.
uni in the best city, never a dull day (unless you're considering the weather, then its always raining)!
I enjoyed my time at Bath Uni as its a true campus site so there is a friendly vibe and it feels lovely and secure. Certain areas are in need of modernising but the newer buildings are really nice so it depends what course you enrol on! Good facilities across the site and as you might expect, excellent sports! Lots of coffee shops and eateries although nearly all are SU owned so price and variety are a little fixed. Night life is ok, the only real negative for me was finding out they have a large animal testing lab down in the South buildings... no need for that in this day and age and spoilt my final year thinking about the suffering going on in the building right next to me.
Nice campus in a nice city. Excellent sport facilities, but the gym is way too expensive and busy. Close to Bristol.
Love Bath, Wouldn’t have chosen any other Uni to study at.
University provides a lot of useful facilities including Unibus. However, if they could provide more indoor social spaces for students, it must be really great. I found it is quite hard to find the place to rest in winter since it's too cold to stay outside during the lunch break. The SU is also too crowded and has no enough spaces.
The university of Bath is an amazing university in terms of its faculty, campus and its quality of education. It is a place where you feel valued and your opinions are truly heard and acted upon. Bath university truly cares about its students and there are many opportunities presented to you to enable you to reach your highest potential and make it big in the world. As an international student my biggest fear was to feel like an outsider, but that never happened to me as the global culture in Bath University is so diverse that its actually feels like a place where no border exists. Its a place where you actually find yourself and belong.

very high quality teaching, social areas and competitive prices of merchandise
Beautiful and convenient. Remember it is on a hill.
A good university! All my needs are being met.
One of the best University I have seen as a foreign student.
Just the lecture rooms are old.
Amazing experience. I am extremely satisfied and happy to have studied here
The facilities of the University of Bath is fairly old. The library is mostly dirty and loud. The others elements are great.
So far so good nothing need dot be improved
Uni is unreal. There’s everything you could need on campus and more, you certainly make friends for life! Nightlife in Bath is better than people might think, lots of events happening!
Excellent uni with facilities, opportunities and graduate aspects for students
Right up there as one of the UK’s leading institutions. Sensational facilities on a beautiful hillside campus with modern, technologically advanced buildings in a world heritage city.
Large campus. Excellent facilities, also Olympic size swimming pool. Easy to get to the city centre. Convenience hall of residence on campus. Great lecturers and attentive admin staff. I loved my time there.

good to have sufficient microwaves and social space
Campus is nice, should have more study areas
There is very little support for student. I have not experienced this university having good care for its student and often leaves then completely in the dark. It is very poorly organised with next to no guiding of students.
I think the career services centre is a fantastic place for students to learn and improve their employability, including all kinds of extracurriculum activities and workshops.
The best university for people who want to work hard and succeed in life. Excellent campus and social life. The whole studying atmosphere makes you want to crave for more knowledge.
Great uni with brilliant courses, facilities and societies. Only let down by bus service and anything else the SU touches.
It was my best student life ever, even though I just did one year master
On my course (Maths) teaching has been poor. I feel like I am paying £9k for some PDFs on moodle, which are usually riddled with factual errors and spelling mistakes. Often these “lecture notes” are directly lifted from the Internet. I have found that I must learn most of the course from YouTube and other internet sources since the explanations are so lazy. For most of the lecturers it is very obvious that they do not want to teach, but that teaching is an irritation which gets in the way of their research. Even worse, lecturers on my course often rename well-known equations or principles to what they think they should be called, which makes it harder to learn the course from the internet. Some of the lectures are recorded but not all which can be frustrating, however the lectures are usually so devoid of quality content, this is not a big miss. In terms of the University as a whole, the SU is lacking, the bus services are poor and the mental health support is non-existent.
Great uni most helpful staff and really welcoming atmosphere, much more approachable attitude than any other university I’ve encountered
Great uni, slightly ugly campus. Invest more in music and drama, as well as continuing investing in sport.
Only complaints are the differences between quality of accommodation; prices of food on campus; and library
Really nice uni with great team building throughout the studies and good facilities, labs and sport clubs.
Really friendly atmosphere with well driven i dividuals who are highly motivated
In terms of inclusivity and accessibility, do not keep your hopes up!
Great uni, I’ve had a brilliant time here, only issue is the bus routes into and from town
Campus is so warming and welcoming facilities and academics are outstanding
Great uni, course is great, good about mental health and strong on sexual harrasment issues. Good range of clubs too
I was exactly the type of person you would expect to love and thrive at university. Bath sucked the life out of me - terrible bureaucratic institutions, lazy teachers, horrifically ugly campus and a total lack of support from anyone independently minded both socially and academically. Made me totally depressed being at Bath but just stuck it out for 3 years as the piece of paper I got at the end of my degree is far more important than my own enjoyment. Wish I'd done better in my A levels and taken a place at Durham or St Andrews - they are in a totally different league to Bath.
5/5 all round, fantastic university experience with quality of teaching.
Uni campus was beautiful. Some lecturers were incredibly intelligent and useful (Dr James turner, Dr James Betts and Dr Abby Tabor). The facilities were fantastic & I lived in Quads, which was great. But the general feel of mental health support etc and security of halls, not great at all. They “roamed” every night, but security didn’t stop much like drugs etc which wasn’t nice for people like me who didn’t do anything like that +’wanted to sleep. I also couldn’t get any support during the night for depression etc, as nightline wasn’t very useful.
All in all very positive experience. Facilities, faculty, and general lifestyle in bath are all fantastic. Students Union is pretty lacklustre but at least they try.
Amazing place to study and live, like nowhere else in the UK.
It is the best university for any student. The experience here offers the best balance between study and personal life.
The university is very good with a stronger emphasis on placements and vocational skills. However the city is expensive, busses are often poor which decreases my overall student satisfaction
I love it here! Wonderful city, fab university.
A truly outstanding education with worldleading research and facilities
Really good uni with great support in all areas
The University has been a key role in helping my academic pursuits but also has a lovely atmosphere. There are so many societies to join and you'll always run into someone you know. There are lots of developments in the university (e.g., cafes) which make it an enjoyable place to study or anything else.
Nice wifi Great facilities Free swimming pool
It's ok. In hindsight I should've picked a city university.
The bestttt I really like it❤️❤️
I've only just started an MSc in Psychology at Bath but have found the staff to be extremely caring and keen; the facilities fantastic and the welcome very warm indeed. A lovely start.
It's a beautiful place and I am proud to be a student here.
Makes you feel so welcome, feels like home straight away
I truly love my time at Bath. Happiest days of my life so far, and that’s just due to the social side. The professors are lovely and often hard working and clearly care a lot about their students.
Amazing university, great choice
Best university in terms of academia, student life and job opportunities.
compact campus, not pretty but handy. student union on the small side but some good events and deals there.careers very good
Great teaching balanced with a healthy sport focus and social life.
I had the best three years of my life at the University of Bath. Kind, friendly and supportive staff and students. Sports teams and societies that I consider my extended family and a beautiful location to live and study. The only negative is that I wasn't there long enough.
Amazing, course, support and campus
Very friendly campus with a chilled out atmosphere but strong work ethic at the same time.
Bath has been a great university for me. Academics aside, the clubs and societies available are incredible, and there’s a real sense of community at the uni. The facilities are great, and constantly being upgraded. I’m very glad I chose bath.
It’s average. Definitely a let down. My department is underfunded and overlooked.
Really great place to do everything
Even if I had to re-apply now I would still choose Bath as my first choice. I had the best experience as a fresher this year and had the time of my life. Met amazing new people and got lots of help and feedback from professionals on my course and myself in times of crisis.
I love this university. It was the best decision ever to come here. The environment is incredible, the staff are amazing and the support services are really well suited to all kinds of issues.
Everyone on Campus is friendly and approachable.
Probably the best thing that could have happened to me! Never been so content about a decision
Fantastic university. Underrated in the league tables.
A fantastic University with great facilities and staff, set in one of the most beautiful cities on earth.
