957 Bath Spa University reviews

Great tutors who are fun to be around and make each subject topic engaging and exciting

Fantastic location, clean and large en-suite room with breath taking views of the countryside. Safe and fun environment to live

The online classes are very good structured and also in campus the teachers explain everything good and make us to understand the Business and Management easily!

Is in the centre of London and the location is very beautiful

Nice and secured place

Overall the course has been satisfactory although there has been lack of tutor support at times with one in particular having a bad attitude and they forget that we are paying their wages instead being rude and arrogant! The university need to keep training their staff. Facilities are good but there was no support for a friend after a serious incident was reported to welfare. The university need to realise that that the emotional well being of people this age is just as important as quality of teaching.

Horrendous. Course lacks in every aspect. No actual space for students just a table upstairs not enclosed and have to find chairs to use. Had to get a teacher removed from the course due to how useless they were and awful attitude towards students. Complete lack of communication about work criteria. always left in the dark And confused and stressed. Teacher treated you like a burden when you ask questions. (New teacher brought in who is way better but far too late for us to turn our work around in final year. Final year we were given access to tutors however they do not read your work and just talk at you for 10 minutes once a week. Harsh and subjective marking which you are not allowed to get remarked. Few completely lied to, abandoned and left with it a care for my outcome in the course or my mental health. Would not recommend to anyone who wants to keep their passion for a subject. Multiple students have mentioned they do not care anymore and want to give up and will accept an average grade at this point due to putting hours of effort in for below average grades. Second year was in lockdown. Completely abandoned again and got one online lesson a week again just being talked at. We are paying 9K a year for this. PLEASE go elsewhere

As this is a new course some software is not accessible even half way through the module. This is required to complete our unit. There are plenty of laptops and desktop computers for use by students.

Beautiful clean city with nice views and unique architecture. Accessible train and bus links. Not far from Bristol where there are plenty of computing jobs.

This year, as we are slowly coming out of Covid, the classes are mixed: half online and half in-person. Each week, we have one lecture which is hosted online, either live or pre-recorded, and one seminar, where lecturers review what was taught during the lecture and we have the chance for peer review of our work. As a Creative Writing student, I throughly enjoy the lessons and topics we cover, from making up magical worlds to properly representing history. The tutors are usually reachable, but only through email. The students are divided into groups of four to six, and given a personal tutor who can help with a variety of things, from proofreading to general questions about the university. I have not used this yet, but I know those who have and have found this helpful.

I talked a bit about the city in my overall review of the university, but Bath is genuinely a wonderful town. Historic and gorgeous, with plenty of food and grocery options. Lots of fun things to do, from dozens of lovely cafes to multiple escape rooms. Bars, clubs, and pubs are dotted throughout. Lots of job opportunities but also lots of people looking for jobs. It took me a few months to find the job I currently have. The First Bus system is not great, but the drivers are usually friendly and accommodating. A little expensive, but affordable enough for university students. Most of the city is very safe, with a few subsections that are somewhat sketchy.

I live in the newer accommodations built on campus, where each room has an ensuite, which I adore. It is a tad pricey but worth it. The university campus is divided in two, Lakeside and Gardens, where I am. While Gardens has the Student Union and the postoffice, Lakeside is far closer to the main teaching building and the beginning of campus. From my experience, it has been very safe, and I feel comfortable walking around campus at night. The internet and wifi is spotty, but when it works, is quick. I share a kitchen with nine other students, which is professionally cleaned fortnightly. When our stove broke earlier this year, it took less than a day for a replacement to arrive.

Best -it’s fun and engaging Worst - maths

Good access to content and equipment, and tutors and all friendly and helpful.

Blended learning has been terrible and hard to navigate

Terrible internet and facilities

The courses I’m taking at Bath Spa University is both online and in-person. I believe the software we use and the communication between professors and students is great. I have one hour lectures online that are recorded, so I can look back at it later with subtitles. If I have any questions, I can email my teacher and get a quick response. Those are all the pros. The only con I have is the lack of jobs in my fields, which is writing and film. The university has a job service that helps students find employment, but I was not able to find jobs that can help my career.
