Fifty years of achievement have seen the University of Bath grow into a globally recognised institution with over 20,000 students from 153 countries. We believe in offering our students a well-rounded education: high quality teaching from research-led academics; placements as a feature of many of our undergraduate courses, supporting strong employability; a substantial and growing range of options for post-graduate study; and extra-curricular activities such as our award- winning sports. The result: a very engaged, high-quality student body with strong values, impressive achievements, and excellent levels of student satisfaction.
