Computer Science Applicant Visit Days

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

After you receive an offer to study one of our Computer Science 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.

Find out more about your course and the University

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 Computer Science 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.

'Having labs exclusive to Computer Science students is brilliant. When it gets to exam season, the library can get really crowded, so having space reserved for computer scientists makes revision less stressful.' — Molly Ives, Computer Science and Mathematics BSc.

Why come to a Faculty of Science Applicant Visit Day

Hear from Faculty of Science students as they share what they enjoyed about their Applicant Visit Day and the difference it made to their university plans.

What student life is really like

No one knows what it’s like to be a Computer Science student at Bath better than our current students. They’ll help answer your questions and chat about their experiences.

Campus life isn't just about studying. There are many ways that you can make the most of your experience. If you're visiting Bath, you could visit our Sports Training Village (STV) and access the same facilities Olympic athletes use. You can also see our Students' Union, food outlets, campus pub and nightclub, and The Edge, where you can take dance, art and music classes.

'The societies at Bath are a great way to make new friends and try something new. Drinking is entirely optional and most socials will have a designated sober committee.' — Richard Andrews, Computer Science BSc.

What our students think

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

'Going from school to university was certainly daunting, but I’ve never felt overwhelmed. Each of my units slowly increases the workload so I have time to get used to working independently.' — Dominic Giles, Computer Science BSc.

'Our department offers a supportive community where everyone is willing to help. Some lecturers even have an open-door policy and email lists to help answer questions about coursework.' — Tareq Zayat, Computer Science BSc.

'For one of our first pieces of coursework, everyone was given an Arduino kit to work with and time to work in the Lovelace Lab, where there were tools and extra hardware parts we could use for the project.' — Evgenia Brusnitskaya, Computer Science MComp.

'Most staff work in offices that have glass walls and these surround the computer labs. It makes the department feel very friendly.' — Tristan Russell, Computer Science BSc.
