You can also find out where we have visited in previous months. Often these visits are repeated annually so watch out for updates on this page.

The University of Bath is also very active in visiting international students who are already studying in the UK. A list of schools and colleges that we are visiting nationally will available shortly. If would like your school to receive a visit, please contact Virginia Irwin in the International Office.

One of the best ways to experience the university and its unique culture is to visit the campus. We look forward to welcoming you to Bath at one of our Open Days which provides the ideal opportunity to look around and meet our academic staff & students.
