Chemistry Applicant Visit Days

We run Applicant Visit Days for our undergraduate degree offer holders between December and April. Find out more about why you should attend one.

After you receive an offer to study one of our Chemistry undergraduate courses, we'll email you to invite you to an Applicant Visit Day.

We strongly recommend you attend an Applicant Visit Day to gain real insight into what it’s like to study here. We're offering a mix of virtual and on-campus Applicant Visit Days to give you the opportunity to join us, whether you can make it to campus or not.

If you're living outside of the UK or are unable to make one of our Applicant Visit Days and would like to arrange an individual visit, please contact the Department and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

The aim of the day is to help you in your decision making.

Our Applicant Visit Days provide more subject-focused information than University Open Days, giving you a real insight into what it's like to study Chemistry here.

Whether you attend an Applicant Visit Day in person or virtually, you'll get the opportunity to listen to talks on the course and department. You’ll meet our academic staff and current students where you'll get the chance to ask them any questions you have and find out more about the work you’ll be doing if you study here.

If you join us for an Applicant Visit Day in person, you'll also get to look around the department and see our teaching facilities.

'The labs were a big part of my decision to choose Bath. For me, it was important to have enough hours and experience in the lab to prepare for a possible industry job.' — Anna Stearn, Chemistry MChem with professional placement.

What to expect from the Applicant Visit Day

Our Applicant Visit Days will give you all the information you need to decide if the University of Bath is for you!

What our students think

The best people to tell you about Chemistry at Bath are our students.

'I wish someone had told me you don't need to be a maths genius to study Chemistry. The transition from A level might seem scary, but with the support available, I found that it was very achievable.' — Annabel Griesmeyer, Chemistry with Management BSc.

'Every week, we spend time with our tutors in tutorials, going through questions from the lectures, which I find so helpful.' — Annabel Flook, Chemistry MChem with professional placement.

ChemSoc organise monthly socials, which have been a great way to get to know other students on my course outside of lectures.' — Grace Sparrow, Chemistry MChem with study year abroad.

'One of the best parts of first year is the lab sessions. They give you the opportunity to apply the principles you learn in lectures and also meet new people.' — Ed Grummit, Chemistry MChem.
