Our Department of Politics, Languages & International Studies Applicant Visit Days (AVD) will take place between February and May 2024.
You can attend these events if you're an offer-holder for one of these courses:
Our Applicant Visit Days are just for offer holders, and will give you a real insight into what it's like to study at the University. You will meet current students and members of staff from the Department and have the chance to ask all the questions you need to make your decision.
Travelling to campus
There are many different ways to travel to our University of Bath campus. Find out more about travelling to our campus.
Parking permit
We recommend that anyone travelling to our campus by car uses our East Car Park and displays a free parking permit.
Parking permits for your AVD are available to download. Please note that this does not guarantee a space for parking.
