About University of Bath

About the University of Bath

  

At Bath, we are known for excellence in teaching and research; our welcoming community; and for providing students with outstanding preparation for the workplace. We are :

 

  • Among the top 10% of universities worldwide, according to the QS World University Rankings 2024 at 148th.
  • The Times and The Sunday Times University of the Year 2023
  • Top 10 in all national league tables including the Complete University Guide 2024
  • Top 5 for career prospects in all national league tables

  We believe that thinking and acting globally benefits everyone and we welcome students and staff from across the world. 32% of our students come from outside the UK, representing 147 nationalities.  


Research and teaching excellence

We want to make sure that our students develop the practical knowledge and skills most valued by employers. 

Our academic programmes are designed to provide both rigorous intellectual challenge and real-world relevance, giving you the opportunity to study with researchers who are leaders in their field. 92% of our research is world-leading or internationally excellent (according to the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021) so your studies will be informed by some of the most exciting and innovative ideas across all fields.

The campus and the city

Our thriving campus overlooks the beautiful city of Bath and offers a choice of sporting, social and cultural activities.  

It’s easy to love living and studying at Bath. In the last decade, we have invested over £450 million in our campus and facilities in the city. This includes new student accommodation and academic buildings, plus an expansion of our world-class Sports Training Village - with its 50m Olympic legacy swimming pool, Gym and Fitness Centre over three floors, tennis courts, and athletics tracks.

Explore beyond the campus and it ’s easy to see why the city of Bath is the UK’s only entire city on UNESCO's world heritage list thanks to the Gothic abbey, elegant Georgian architecture, and Roman Baths, which gives the city its name. Whether you're out shopping or socialising, Bath offers an impressive range of options and, in 2023, it is ranked as the second safest university city in England and Wales by the Complete University Guide.

Beyond Bath

Bath is a convenient gateway to the beautiful South West of England, and it’s easy to explore the region from the train and coach stations in the city centre. You could visit the wild Jurassic coastline of Dorset and Devon, surf in Cornwall, or visit the nearby cities of Bristol and Cardiff. If you want to travel further afield, you can get direct trains and coaches to London, Birmingham, and Heathrow Airport.
