There are a range of resources available on the Student Support and Resources website to help you to maximise your time studying at the University of Bath. We recognise that you may be used to living in a different culture and studying in a different academic system in a language other than English. You may then require some extra information or support.
The International Student Advice Service provide information on a range of issues, such as visa advice, employment regulations, a student guide to living in the UK and some reflections on British culture.
If you would like to improve your English language skills, support is available from the English Language Centre. This includes courses offered before and during the semester on writing and speaking, with a focus on either academic, informal or business English. They also offer courses for native speakers of English who wish to improve their academic writing skills, as well as private tutorials. If you are looking for support with academic writing in particular, have a look at the academic writing page.
The International Students’ Association (ISA) is run by the Students’ Union and has been established to represent the views of international students. If you have come from outside the U.K., you are automatically a member. Global Group, also created by the Students’ Union, organises a programme of social activities that aims to attract students from many different cultures.
There are a variety of resources to help you make the most of your studies on this website – follow the links on the left hand side of the page. In addition, the Prepare For Success website is a site dedicated to study skills for international students and an introduction to academic culture in the U.K.
