Join us at an offer holder event

After you receive an offer to study one of our undergraduate politics and modern languages courses, you can attend an offer holder event.

Our offer holder events are designed to give you the opportunity to experience what life is like as a student at Bath.

As an offer holder for BA (Hons) International Politics and Modern Languages, BA (Hons) Modern Languages, BSc (Hons) Politics and International Relations, or BSc (Hons) Politics with Economics, you can choose from:

  • an in-person Offer Holder Day, which will take place on our University of Bath campus
  • an in-person Department Visit Day, which is more focused on the Department you'll study within, rather than the University. This will also take place on our University of Bath campus
  • a Virtual Offer Holder Event, which you’ll be able to attend online from anywhere in the world

You don’t have to accept your offer to attend one of these days.

2026 dates

You’ll be able to choose one of the following offer holder event dates in 2026:

Our in-person Offer Holder Days include University and Department-level sessions, while the Department Visit Day is more focused on life within the Department of Politics, Languages & International Studies. We advise that you book early to make sure you get a place on your preferred day.

You can find out more about each type of offer holder event further down this page.

Once you have booked your chosen event, you'll receive information about travel, campus accessibility, and where to go when you get here.

Please note: You need to register for your chosen offer holder event using the link in your invitation email. The subject line for this email was 'Congratulations on your offer! Join us at an offer holder event'.

In-person Offer Holder Days

At an in-person OHD, you can experience our campus, speak to staff and students, and see the places that you’ll live and study in during your time with us.

The day will consist of University and Department-level sessions.

During University-level sessions, you will:

  • join a campus tour
  • view our accommodation 1
  • hear about our student support
  • visit the Information Fair to learn more about things like careers and employability opportunities, admissions, and campus facilities

At Department-level, you'll spend time with the Department of Politics, Languages & International Studies, which runs our politics and languages courses.

During this, you’ll:

  • speak to politics and modern languages students and teaching staff
  • experience a live taster lecture
  • find out more about course-specific opportunities, like professional placements
  • view the study spaces you’ll be able to use when you arrive at Bath

Department Visit Day

We also offer a Department Visit Day, during which you can get to know the Department of Politics, Languages & International Studies and find out more about your chosen course.

At a Department Visit Day, you'll be able to:

  • explore the department's learning spaces
  • talk to current students and teaching staff
  • take part in taster sessions and ask any questions you may have
  • find out more about course-specific opportunities like professional placements, and working and studying abroad.

Although the Department Visit Day is focused on the department, rather than the University as a whole, you'll be able to walk around the campus and explore some of the University's facilities.

As it will take place on a weekday during term time, you'll be able to get a feel for the vibrancy of our campus and student community.

Virtual Offer Holder Events

Virtual Offer Holder Events give you the chance to experience Bath, no matter where you are.

They are very similar to in-person Offer Holder Days. You’ll be able to attend University and Department-level sessions, during which you'll get information that will help you gain a better idea of what life as a student at Bath is like.

During your Department-level session, you'll receive an introductory talk from our teaching staff, followed by a student panel. This will give you the chance to have your questions answered by students on your course.
