The University of Bath has a vibrant international community and welcomes the cultural diversity our international students bring to campus life. Over 100 nationalities are represented among our 3000 international students.


The International Office


We aim to enable you to make the most of your time here at Bath. The International Office team are happy to answer any questions you may have concerning our programmes and entry requirements. We have a dedicated recruitment team who provide comprehensive support to international students.


The International Student Advice Team Before you leave your country, we will communicate with you regularly and provide you with essential information to help plan for your journey to Bath and advise about life in the UK. We run a bus service from London Heathrow Airport at the start of each academic year and, upon your arrival at Bath, we organise a welcome programme of events that includes information sessions, social events and tours of the campus and city. Our mentoring scheme ‘Amity’, which matches current UK and new international students, receives excellent feedback from both mentors and mentees.


Throughout the year, the International Student Advice Team works with the Students’ Union and student societies to create a range of social activities, open to all students regardless of nationality, including trips to places of interest and on- campus events and festivals. In addition, Global Group comprises a committee of both international and UK students who organise events designed to actively promote interaction between students of different cultures. The International Students’ Association (ISA) represents the international student voice. There are a number of societies created and led by students from China, India, Malaysia and Europe (among others), which provide opportunities for you to celebrate and share your culture while in the UK. Social activities extend to the wider community through HOST – a national organisation that arranges short stays in British family homes for international students.


We encourage all students to get involved with activity outside of the lecture theatre, whether that be joining a society or participating in University or community


life as a volunteer. Getting involved gives you the chance to meet new friends, develop new skills, improve your English, learn about different cultures and, ultimately, enhance your employability for a global careers market.


Undergraduate Accommodation All students paying overseas fees who are new to Bath and studying towards a University of Bath degree will be offered accommodation in University owned property for their first year of study. Please note that applicants must submit their accommodation request by the specified deadline to be sure of being allocated University accommodation. An online application facility exists to make the process as quick as possible.


English Language Students must have a high level of English proficiency so that they can follow their chosen degree programme. If your first language is not English we may ask that you take an English language test. A minimum IELTS score of 6.0 or equivalent is required. For more linguistically demanding programmes the requirements will be higher. The English Language Centre offers a range of pre- degree language courses, ranging from one month to one year.


Tuition Fees and Living Expenses If you are classed as an ‘Overseas’ student, the fees payable in 2011/12 are:


Languages, Management


and Social Sciences Science and Engineering


£11,600 £14,800


If you are following a sandwich course, fees will be reduced for the period during which you are on placement.


As a rough guide, we suggest that you allow about £8,000 to cover yearly personal expenses, excluding international flights and the summer vacation.
