Medical requirements
Doctor’s report
If you are having any medical treatment or you have had any serious illness in the past, please bring a doctor’s report with you, in English. The report should give details of the illness, any medicines you are still taking and any future treatment needed.
TB screening
The UKBA has introduced a requirement for TB screening in some countries before you can apply for a visa. This applies to anyone entering the UK for more than six months. Check UKBA for details for your country.
Vaccinations
We advise you to have vaccinations for meningitis, tuberculosis and mumps before you leave home. If you don’t, then you may have to pay for them in the UK. Bring evidence of any vaccinations that you have with you, such as an International Vaccination Book.
All students should also be immunised against tetanus, polio, diphtheria, measles and rubella.
If you are unable to have vaccinations in your country, please contact the University medical centre when you arrive in Bath.
