Although the University of Bath was granted its royal charter in 1966, its origins lie in the Bristol Trade School of 1856, which later became the Merchant Venturers' Technical College and then the Bristol College of Science and Technology. Its university status followed the Robbins Report's recommendations, and from the mid-1960s a new campus was built at Claverton Down. The university belongs to the GW4 research consortium.
Claverton Down, where most activity is concentrated, is a compact modernist campus roughly a mile and a half from the centre of Bath. It was laid out to keep pedestrians apart from traffic, with a central walkway called the Parade, and the university also occupies buildings in the city centre. About 20,500 students are enrolled; around three-quarters are undergraduates, and roughly a third come from outside the UK, spanning more than 140 nationalities. The university is known for architecture, engineering, management, mathematics, pharmacy, the physical sciences and sport, and many of its degrees have long included a placement year with an employer. On campus, the Sports Training Village provides for elite athletes and for the Team Bath sports programme.
Information for International Students
Two services support international students at Bath: the International Support Service, which gives practical advice, and the Student Immigration Service, which provides guidance on Student visas and, where they apply, ATAS certificates. The Students' Union's international community helps newcomers find their feet. Each course sets its own English language requirements, and students who must raise their level before starting can take the university's pre-sessional English course. Further preparation comes from the University of Bath International Study Centre, which Study Group operates on the Claverton Down campus and which provides a Pre-Masters programme as well as an International Foundation Year leading to undergraduate entry.
New first-year undergraduates who hold a firm offer and apply before the published deadline have a guaranteed place in university-managed accommodation. Taught postgraduates paying overseas fees are likewise guaranteed a room if they hold an unconditional firm offer and apply by the relevant deadline. Rooms are located on campus as well as in the city centre. International undergraduates are eligible for consideration for the Bath International Excellence Scholarship, while other scholarships fund taught postgraduate and doctoral study. The Graduate Route is open to eligible graduates.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with University of Bath is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for University of Bath start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. University of Bath may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
