Our Department of Politics, Languages & International Studies Applicant Visit Days (AVD) will take place between February and May 2023.

You can attend these events if you're an offer-holder for one of these courses:

Our AVDs 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. 

On-campus events include the opportunity for an accommodation visit. You will view one or two examples of rooms rented by our current students. You can learn more about what is available in our accommodation guide. The accommodation visit is optional, with the main programme for the day starting with the welcome by the Admissions Tutor.

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.

Please email languagesapplicants@bath.ac.uk or politicsapplicants@bath.ac.uk with 'Parking Permit' in the subject line to request one.
