Studying at university


Use the Academic Skills Self-Assessment Tool below to reflect on your academic skills, consider what you feel confident about, and identify where you might like to further develop your academic skills.

You’ll begin by completing a diagnostic questionnaire to measure your confidence. Following this you’ll be directed to resources you can use to learn more about academic skills and boost your confidence ready for starting at university. If you've already completed the questions, you can access the resources directly.

Support at Bath


When you arrive at Bath, we support your learning in lots of different ways. Here are just a few for you to explore before you arrive:

Digital Skills


Digital skills are the skills you need to study and work in our fast-evolving digital world. A strong digital skillset, and confidence in your own capabilities to navigate a constantly changing digital environment, will be valuable when studying at Bath.

Preparing for study if you have a disability or mental health condition


At Bath we ensure we support all students to be able to achieve their potential. Hear from Joel about the support from application to entry for students with disabilities or mental health conditions.
