Our welcoming campus is safe and friendly, with first-class arts and sports facilities. It
provides a real feeling of community for those living, working and studying here. It is
one of the safest campus sites in the UK and we are the first university in the country
to win a national police approved security award. The campus has excellent places to
eat, drink and socialise. Facilities include food shops, a bookshop, post office, and two
banks. The Students’ Union forms an important part of the student experience. There
are over one hundred clubs and societies to get involved in and the union bar and
nightclub arranges a variety of events.
The World Heritage City of Bath is one of the most interesting, elegant and vibrant
cities in the UK. It is known for its many beautiful buildings and the natural hot springs
which gave the city its name. Bath is home to several excellent museums and galleries
and hosts various arts festivals throughout the year. There are numerous restaurants,
cafés and pubs and a great range of shopping with high street stores, small specialist
shops and a market.
The UK is a diverse and multi-ethnic society, where students of all backgrounds are
welcome and their involvement in local communities is valued. A guide for
international students to help with the essentials of settling in and to give an idea of
what to expect is available www.bath.ac.uk/international/living/index.html
UK immigration and border legislation is subject to change so we advise students to
check up-to-date guidance on www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visasimmigration/studying/adult-students
The cost of medical treatment in the UK depends upon nationality, immigration status
and length of study. We advise all students to obtain comprehensive private medical
insurance before they leave home www.bath.ac.uk/study/exchangevisiting/orientation/healthcare
