International Students

At Bath Spa we welcome international students from all over the world.  At present, about 5%-7% of our overall student population is from countries other than the UK.  We have students from a variety of countries, from each corner of the world, on most of our courses.

Key Advantage of Bath Spa University No 1: Quality

Our courses are highly rated by the QAA (Quality Assurance Agency).  You can also find us in the league tables published by UK newspapers - sometimes called 'ranking' where we are usually listed as round 5th out of the 55 modern teaching-led universities.  Business and Management as a subject has ranked in the top 5 in the whole of the UK for student satisfaction since the National Student Survey was introduced.  In 2008 Business and Management was ranked number 1 in the UK for student satisfaction.

Key Advantage of Bath Spa University No 2: Location

Bath is England's only World Heritage city as designated by the United Nations, and a world-famous tourist attraction.  It is small enough to be safe, and big enough to have an exciting metropolitan atmosphere.  It suits students who are looking for an alternative to London - the culture without the chaos.  Bath is only 90 minutes by train from London, and 10 minutes by train from Bristol.

Our campus is outstandingly beautiful, even by Bath standards.  Courses are taught at Newton Park, an impressive country estate - ideal for students who are looking for inspiration.

With 24 hour security, our study environment is safe, protective and supportive.

Key Advantage of Bath Spa University No 3: Accessibility and Support

Bath Spa University believes in making education accessible to students - and for international students this often means bridging the gap between two different academic systems, two different cultures and different languages.

We will help you overcome any worries and anxieties you may have as a result of leaving your home country and studying at a university in the UK.

Registry process international students' applications, and a database allows us to monitor each application and each student.

A unique undergraduate support programme, provided by staff experienced in working with international students, helps you to cope with undergraduate study and life in the UK.

We are here to assist all our international students with information and advice, application processes and accommodation questions.  We will prepare arrival information for you, so that you get a better idea of what to expect.  Most importantly, we are always ready to listen to you, if you drop into our offices, even if it is just for a chat.
