My Experience as a University of Bath Student

Tips: The biggest thing you need to realize before coming to Bath is that you absolutely cannot be shy about knocking on your professors' doors during office hours. The workload here creeps up on you fast, and if you don't stay on top of your weekly readings and lectures, assignments and exams will completely bury you by the end of the semester. That being said, the vibe up on the Claverton Down campus is honestly amazing. People are genuinely friendly, and the university actually steps up to support you when you're struggling, so you never feel isolated. Another massive perk is Bath's placement team. They don't just hand you a job on a silver platter, but if you put in the work, they are incredible at helping you polish your CV, practice mock interviews, and connect with top employers, which is exactly how I managed to lock down my post-study job before even graduating.

Enriching. My experience at Bath was wonderful.

Tips: Be clear on your intention behind this shift. Be honest with yourself. A lot of students walk into the city without a defined purpose of why they're there. This helps you to stay grounded. And mingle with people from other nationalities too. I have observed that Indians like to hang out with Indians. If that's your calling, why move countries? Stay clear on your purpose.

Likes (Safety): Bath is an extremely safe city. Never had a single safety issue, and don't know anyone who has. Most places are walkable in the city at any hour of the day. The campus is very safe too; people are amicable. Food options are available late night too. Seagulls can be a little annoying.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It can be extremely challenging to find long-term settlement in the UK. The current policies (PG work visa) are also hinting towards decreasing immigrant settlement. Getting into the university (no matter how prestigious) does not guarantee your ambitions of settling down in the UK. A lot of it depends on what you bring to the employers and how you stand out from not only the locals but also the other immigrants who're fighting for the same spot. One opening will receive more than 5,000 applications. Equipping yourself and your profile with the UK nuances can be a game changer.

Very little guidance on internships.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should know that the academic environment is great but it is important to stay proactive. Enjoy your academic year but start applying for part time jobs or graduate programs as soon as you arrive. Transitioning here was smooth academically but there was a small cultural shift coming from India. It took some time to adjust to the independent learning style and the social norms but it was manageable. I received one scholarship which was given to every student, a 5,000 tuition fee waiver. There are also higher-value scholarships, like 10,000, and one advantage in batch is that you can earn scholarships to increase your fee waiver unlike other universities. I'm satisfied with my university, course and living in the UK. The support and opportunities available here make it a positive experience, especially if you stay proactive about work and funding options.

Likes (Safety): Both the campus and the city are extremely safe. Campus security is active, and the surroundings are generally secure, day or night. Beyond that, facilities like well-lit paths, CCTV, and clear bus schedules make travelling around easy and safe. Personally, I've always felt comfortable moving around the city, as long as you're mindful of transport timings.

Dislikes (Internships): I rated internships 1 because our course didn't offer any internship opportunities. Guidance for finding or applying for internships was tiniest. For those who did manage to secure internships, it was extremely rare, less than 1% of students received offers, mostly local British students. Internships that were available weren't always aligned with our field of study, which made gaining relevant practical experience quite challenging.

Welcoming environment and good student life.

Tips: The campus is beautiful with really pretty spots and plenty to do. You should expect late nights and early mornings as the sem ends can get really intense. People are fun and friendly and socialising becomes easy here. It is hard to relocate here as the job prospects are limited yet the expenses keep increasing. Pretty safe as well but it's good to stay cautious.

Vibrant, beautiful and energetic.

Tips: First thing you need to watch out for is the weather and how cold it will be. Best to buy winter wear in the UK because it's a lot more winter friendly. Scholarships are decent at University of Bath and they open portals around March. I received a 6000 scholarship.

Likes (Student Life): The college campus is amazing with access to almost any sport you can think of. It's a beautiful city with very nice people. Also, Batch is extremely scenic, much like the university campus. As for events, there are various societies that will make you feel like home during the festive season.

Dislikes (Part time work): There were very few part time opportunities on campus or through the university. You had to look in the city by yourself for opportunities. But once you do get into life in Batch, opportunities are good in the city because it's just before Christmas time and that's when maximum hiring takes place.
