Being a Student in Bath

Bath is full of historical architecture and attractions, such as Pulteney Bridge which sits on the River Avon. The city received World Heritage Site status in 1987 as a result of being home to a bunch of 18th-century architecture, Roman remains, natural hot springs and a stunning landscape setting. The hot springs and Roman Baths are a huge tourist attraction in Bath, with the city's famous Thermae Spa being Britain's only natural thermal spa.

The universities, thriving nightlife and extensive heritage draw in over 21,000 students to the city each year. The University of Bath is understandably a popular place of study. Due to the university's high standard of teaching, it was awarded the Royal Charter in 1966, and currently holding the TEF Gold Award.
