Location

Bath itself is a lively city with a rich cultural heritage. It is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list twice; for its elegant Georgian architecture and as one of the Great Spas of Europe. Small enough to explore on foot, you can discover its beautiful stone buildings and the natural hot springs which gave the city its name.

In addition to its museums, galleries and historical attractions, Bath is home to a thriving food scene, plenty of nightlife, and year-round arts festivals. You can also get involved with the local community through the great volunteering opportunities offered by the Students’ Union.
