Fantastic sport, teaching and research facilities
Our £35 million Sports Training Village is the centre of sports on campus.
It's home to world-class facilities, including an Olympic-sized swimming pool, for more than 50 sports. It also contains fitness, coaching, physio and sports science facilities.
Many of these facilities are often used by leading sports teams from across the UK, as well as athletes training to compete in events like the Olympic Games.
In addition, the Department for Health has five dedicated research laboratories. We have a close connection between research and teaching theoretical knowledge. This ensures that what we teach you is directly related to practical application.
Study in a safe, student-friendly city
Bath and North East Somerset is in the top 3 safest university towns and cities in England and Wales (Complete University Guide, 2024) and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, thanks to its Roman heritage and Georgian architecture.
But there’s much more to Bath than its iconic buildings and history. A vibrant range of shops, bars and restaurants, music venues, museums, and festivals makes it a great place to live as a student.
A well-connected campus
Our campus is on the edge of the city. You can travel between the city and the campus easily by foot, bike, car, or bus. Local transport links mean you’ll be:
- 80 minutes from London and its international airports
- 15 minutes from Bristol
- 2 hours from Birmingham
‘Coming here felt like really being at home straight away; you live on campus and so many other students are in the same boat. I’ve had a good time.’
