We offer a range of dates so you can choose to attend one that best suits you.
However, if you are unable to make one of our OHDs and would like to visit us, we offer a range of group and self-led campus tour options.
Department for Health Offer Holder Days (OHDs)
OHDs allow you to experience what it'll be like to study your chosen sport, exercise and health course at Bath. You must have a degree offer to attend.
After you receive an offer to study one of our sport, exercise and health undergraduate courses, we'll email you to invite you to an Offer Holder Day (OHD).
Our sport, exercise and health courses include:
- BSc (Hons) Health and Exercise Science
- FdSc Sport (Sports Performance)
- BSc/MSci (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science
- BSc (Hons) Sport Management and Coaching
We usually run OHDs between February and May. You'll be able to choose from a selection of available dates, but it's best to book early to make sure you get a place as they can fill up quickly.
As part of your invitation, you'll receive information about travel, campus accessibility, and where to go when you get here.
Unfortunately, you will not be able to visit our student accommodation facilities during OHDs. However, you can find out more about our accommodation options on our Student Accommodation web pages.
What you’ll do at an OHD
OHDs normally start with an introductory talk from one of our academics. They'll tell you more about how our courses are structured and assessed; the topics you'll study; and other opportunities available to you, such as our professional placements scheme and studying abroad.
You'll also be able to talk more informally with staff from our Department and student ambassadors, who will be happy to answer any questions you have about studying at Bath.
During in-person OHDs, we'll then take you on a campus tour. This is your chance to visit some of our facilities and learning spaces, and experience what it's like to be a Bath student. You'll get to see some of our specialist facilities 2 such as our:
- Applied Biomechanics Suite
- Applied Physiology Laboratory
- Biochemistry Laboratory
- Metabolic Research Laboratory
Student life at Bath
Throughout your OHD, you can speak to students studying our sport, exercise and health courses. They’ll be able to answer your questions about university and campus life, and talk about their own experiences.
As well as finding out more about the Department for Health and your course, during in-person OHDs you’ll have the chance to explore our campus and visit:
- our Sports Training Village (STV) - home to facilities used by Olympic athletes and top sports teams
- The Students’ Union
- The Edge - where you can take dance, art and music classes
- The Plug and The Tub - our on-campus bar and nightclub
- various food outlets and cafés
Explore the city
OHDs usually last around half a day. This means that you’ll have time to travel into Bath and experience the city. Bath is a student-friendly place with lots of picturesque outside spaces and shops, restaurants and bars.
If you're unable to attend an OHD
We want to help you experience our University, even if you're unable to attend an OHD.
