The Bath MSc
Life on campus
Teaching facilities, the Library, shops, banks, bars, cafés and restaurants are grouped around a central pedestrian parade.
Compact, purpose-built campus Our compact, purpose-built campus is one of the safest in the UK and was one of the first to be recognised with a national police security award. Set in extensive grounds with open views across the beautiful hills of the West Country, it is only a mile from the city centre. Teaching facilities, the Library, shops, banks, Post Office, Students’ Union, bars, cafés and restaurants are grouped around a central pedestrian parade, creating a strong sense of social and academic community. There are also dental and medical centres on campus.
Excellent facilities and support As a top UK university, Bath provides all the world-class support services and facilities you would expect. Recent substantial capital investment in new buildings and facilities means that physical working conditions are modern and pleasant. Our new £5.5 million Student Centre has created additional social space and provides a hub for students on campus.
Our Library is one of only two in the country that is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. With more than 580,000 books, 500 computers and laptop docking points, 13,000 electronic books and 1,000 journals, a whole wealth of knowledge is at your fingertips. It also has Britain’s first local DC computer network which is smaller, quieter and faster to use than a typical AC network.
The University has a vibrant international community of scholars, with over 100 nationalities represented. Our International Office provides
support and assistance at induction, and organises a range of social events throughout the year.
During your time at Bath you will also have access to our Careers Advisory Service which provides individual guidance, advice on CVs, applications and interviews, skills training and occupational and employer information. It has links with 5,000 employers and runs an extensive programme of employer visits as well as providing online searchable vacancy bulletins.
Our Students’ Union is one of the best in the country, ranked in the top three by the National Union of Students (NUS). It provides a range of over 100 clubs and activities from cheerleading to Buddhist meditation. The University’s Chaplaincy offers a meeting place for several university societies representing many denominations and faiths, and our Institute of Contemporary Interdisciplinary Arts (ICIA) has a vibrant and thriving programme of activities encompassing all kinds of music, theatre and dance, creative and visual arts. The building of our exciting new Centre for the Arts will begin in September 2012. This will provide facilities for the creation, development and performance of interdisciplinary arts.
You’ll also have the opportunity to develop your language skills in a range of options from French to Mandarin Chinese. If you are an international student wishing to improve your contemporary business language skills, the English Language Centre runs
