Our thriving campus overlooks the beautiful city of Bath and offers a choice of sporting, social and cultural activities. 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 give the city its name. Whether you’re out shopping or socialising, Bath offers an impressive range of options and, in 2023, it was 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.
