Student Life
Campus life
Our vibrant campus, and location right on the edge of the city of Bath, provide superb sporting, social and cultural opportunities, and was named The Times and Sunday Times Best Campus University 2014.
We have invested over £100 million in our campus on new student accommodation, new facilities for the arts, new academic buildings and a new Olympic quality swimming pool situated in the stunning Sports Training Village, which is home to medal-winning Olympic athletes, and is open to students for elite and recreational sport.
Sports facilities
The £30 million Sports Training Village was officially opened by Princess Anne in 2004
The extensive facilities can cater for over 50 sports.
Unique to the UK is the Push Start track that serves GB Bobsleigh and Skeleton GB. The latter team having medaled at the last 3 Games culminating in Gold for Amy Williams in Vancouver.
Contrary to an urban myth which claims the pool falls short of the Olympic Pool length, due to the designers not taking into account the width of the pool tiles, we can proudly declare that it is 'bang on' 50m long!

The Students' Union is run by students for students; everything is driven by what students want.
Every student is a member of the union.

Student Reviews
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
[Positive points:] The broad range of modules offered across this multi-disciplinary course of politics and Spanish already to date has expanded and improved my knowledge, research skills and in my chosen topics I seek out originality and have enjoyed producing successful assignments across the subjects. [Improvement points:] I think that more contact hours would have perhaps been beneficial
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
Bath was truely come of the best years of my life, and also a great course. The only possible downside is that its quite small and can get a bit claustrophobic- but if you make a great freindship group (as I did!) it can be the best place in the world
