Education / Teacher Training, Year 2

so jam packed and everything i expected and more! they even put on a day trip to ikea! how awesome! fresher's was indeed a great way to meet new people and throw yourself into fun uni life. My accommodation (woodland court) was incredible, en suite bathroom and a small double bed. The laundry room was literally down the stairs and it didn't take long to walk to my lectures at all! Perfect accommodation . The gym at uni of bath is above paar, such generous space in the gym and so many different areas that everyone can find a space the feel happy working out in! Student union was really cool as the ‘tub' provided a relaxed bar like hang out in the day and turned into the ‘plug' at night = a spacious nightclub! My course, education with psychology, was perfect and lived up to my expectations. The unit's combined educational methods and concepts with interesting psychological underpinnings. All of my lectures were well experienced in this area and offered their own research and findings as evidence in the lectures! Bath is a wonderful city, the bus route into town only took about 10mins and ran frequently. There is such a good combination of city and green areas, with alexander park being a personal fave spot. There are plenty of supermarkets, including a lidl which is very amenable for a student budget! Could not recommend bath enough it has such a fresh, cool atmosphere.

It was good. There were many opportunities to meet people on the course as well as freshers fairs and events to get to know as many people as possible. The accommodation was small considering there were 28 of us sharing one kitchen in my flat. It was always busy though and I enjoyed it regardless. The facilities are great. The library is 24 hours and the student union hosted great events too. There were a lot of places to eat on campus as well which was convenient. The lecturers were engaging and made me feel like I could go to them for help when I needed. They made the topics interesting and were always willing to help if more help was needed The city was really pretty and aesthetic. Especially at christmas time it is so pretty. The night life is decent and the clubs are fun and have good night events.

very social and fun. lots of activities on campus. nights out and meeting new people. lots of drinks at accommodation stayed at the quads which was the nicest and most modern. super high tech and student friendly. great social spaces and large kitchen. also regular cleaning the student union put on lots of regular events which were fun. drinks were affordable. happy hour was a great social occasion the course is interesting and up to date, it covers current topics and news events. the modules are broad and you learn about varying topics. bath is not amazing for it's nightlife, but there are lots of great foodie spots. the city itself is beautiful and there are so many great places to relax and admire. you appreciate bath more the longer that you live there

Amazing. So many welcome events and opportunities to meet course mates and get help setting up for the new semester. Not all the accommodation on campus is as nice as mine was but a lot of the accommodation is lovely. Excellent fascilities. Lots of study spaces and modern lecture theatres. The best sports facilities out of any university. Well structured lectures and units, information about the course is easily accessible and the teaching is 5 star. Very welcoming city, bath is a small city so it is not overwhelming and it doesn't take long to find your way around.

It was amazing! I got to meet a lot of people, get to know my flatmates and find which clubs I wanted to join. I was in a great flat. Awesome common areas! The best sport facilities I could have dreamed of! The SU is also amazing and the library is huge and open 24/7 The lecturers are great and their research is amazing. We have the best teaching us The city life is great. It's beautiful and there's so much to see! There is also a great nightlife

Really helpful Psychology department

(5)·By elsie p·Celtic Studies· Oct 2018
I think most people would say that Bath is an excellent university. I first came here to study for the MSc Health Psychology course. During the placement - which was brilliant! - I got involved with some research at the uni looking into how we communicate pain, so then went on to apply to study a PhD in the Pain Centre. All of the staff I had contact with were excellent and the teaching was great. The placement was a really good opportunity for me to get some experience in a real role and got me onto the next step as well! I'm now studying a PhD here and my supervisors are fantastic; the Psychology department has been so supportive. I've even been lucky enough to get funding from the department to attend conferences in Milan and Argentina. Aside from the excellent teaching, we also have some of the best sports facilities you can get(they were used in the 2012 Olympics). Because it's not a big university and classes are normally small, there is a friendly community here that is easy to get involved in. Obviously, the city itself is great too, really beautiful and a lot to do in the day and at night, plus Bristol is close enough for a big night out and always has lots of events on. There are also plenty of part-time job opportunities for students - the university has a good job website where you can find these. Also, the Psychology staff members have often seen job opportunities in the department and pointed them out to me. My PhD is a funded scholarship that I don't get a stipend for living expenses for, but I have always had a job around campus so haven't had to worry too much about the financial side of things, which makes life much easier!

I had a great time! Fortunately it was before the whole pandemic started so I could have a very normal Freshers Week. I made so many great friends and so many memories. It was a pretty old accommodation but I liked it a lot. I had a double bed and I had my own bathroom with a bathtub. The gym is extremely nice but very expensive. The library is old and often really full but a good place to study if you can find a spot. I really like how versatile my course is. We have so many different modules which means I can keep searching for an area of business that I actually really enjoy and night want to pursue later in life. Bath is very small, it's actually a bit too small for my liking. We have quite a few pubs and clubs though which were fun before corona came along.

Very inclusive, although tickets to events were limited. It did become repetitive as the nights out were nearly all identical. Perhaps outdated, although I was located in a fantastic city location. WiFi was excellent and staff were friendly. Sports facilities were second to none. The library was perhaps cramped at times and the students union was small, but fantastic and atmospheric. Lecturers were lead researchers in the field and very friendly. Lectures were always engaging and often hands-on to maintain interest. Not as good as perhaps other local city's, e.g. Bristol. Yet, you do not sign up to Bath for the nightlife - you sign up for the beautiful city and great university.

Really good, had plenty of time to keep on top of work and to go on plenty of nights out. A great balance Accommodation was good. Nice flat, good people, personal space was okay too Library is good. Sports facilities are amazing. Student union is average Lectures are recorded. Lecturers are often some of the top researchers in the field. Bath is a beautiful city. Good night life and amazing architecture

It was very fun with lots of events on led by the SU. We also had introductory sessions for our course, which gave a taster for the year I lived in the quads with an en-suite, the accommodation was quite expensive but the layout made it easier to make friends The sports facilities are particularly good, especially the gym and access to good sports clubs. The SU area was very good, converting to a club at night. The library was also set up every well The lectures were all very invested in ensuring top quality teaching, and they were also recorded in case you missed them The city of bath is beautiful, with lots to do though the nightlife was a bit quiet
