Life in Bath
Living in Bath means living in a safe, vibrant, and historic city with a friendly atmosphere and a welcoming community.
Bath is a double-nominated UNESCO World Heritage Site, both as one of the Great Spa Towns of Europe and thanks to its Roman heritage and Georgian architecture.
There are lots of historic places to visit around the city and, because of its cultural contributions, TIME magazine listed Bath as one of the World’s Greatest Places 2021, making it one of only three UK cities to make the list.
‘I chose to study at Bath because it offers one of the best courses in the UK for my chosen subject. The connection between Bath and the industry is very strong, which gives me a good chance to pursue a successful career after graduation.’
