How you can benefit

Here's what two of this year's Discover Bath students said about the programme:

Initially, I was sceptical about the benefits of the programme, however, it was possibly the most beneficial thing I did over the summer. Not only did I get to learn about a subject I love, but I also received guidance on how to make a competitive UCAS application. I would recommend this programme to anyone aiming for a top university next year.

Lewis - Discover Bath Business Management

I found the Discover Bath programme for sport and health really fascinating and enjoyable! I was able to expand my knowledge in terms of the course content, as well as develop valuable skills that I can utilise at university. This course turned out to be a great project to work on alongside my A levels and the staff provided an immense amount of support throughout. The Q&A sessions with a current student also provided greater insight into what life at university can entail outside of studying.
