International Students
The English Language Centre gives you free access to classes to help support your studies.
You can get help and support from the International Student Advice Team.
Studying
Whether you are in need of advice or practical help, we offer a range of services to support you. You can access most of these services through our new Student Services Centre.
Skills training
Research skills
Researching the information you need is a key study skill. The Library can provide you with the information skills you need. They offer a range of training courses and tutorials.
For research students we have a dedicated Researcher Development Unit that runs a comprehensive programme of free skills development courses designed specifically for researchers on topics such as:
- communication skills
- research management
- information skills
- career management.
If you are away from campus, you can also access online training courses, specifically designed to support our research students.
Research ethics
We have an Ethics Committee. Each department has a Research Ethics Committee which considers the ethical implications of research proposals. There is also a PGSkills course on ethical research practice.
Maths and statistics help
If you need extra help with statistics or maths, the MASH maths resource centre can help you by providing one-to-one support.
Writing skills
Improve your writing and communicate with greater clarity, precision and force with our writing coaches from the Royal Literary Fund Fellowship. You can get one-to-one sessions with our writing coaches or join a workshop on specific writing issues.
Language skills
Postgraduates at Bath are entitled to free foreign language lessons at the Foreign Language Centre, which offers a wide range of languages at different levels.
Our English Language Centre is also there to help you to develop your English language skills both verbally and in writing.
Advice and representation
Advice and Representation Centre
The Advice and Representation Centre within the Students' Union has some useful guides, including presentation advice.
Student representatives
Student academic representatives are elected by students on each programme to represent their views, providing a two-way channel of communication between staff and students about all aspects of our programmes of study and the student experience. Postgraduates are also represented by the Postgraduate Association.
The Research Students Committee represents postgraduate researchers, monitors the training and progress of postgraduates, and sets standards for postgraduate research.
The Research Postgraduate Ombudsman deals confidentially with problems around postgraduate supervision.
