36 Living in Bath
Coming to Bath has truly been the best decision I’ve
ever made. I’m absorbing professional knowledge and genuinely
feeling myself improve; I’ve stepped out of my country to see
more of the world’s beauty, and I’ve made friends from all
corners of the globe, learning about their diverse cultures.”
Ran, MSc Marketing

Welcome to the
University of Bath
“Let me just share with you two
points which students and graduates
of the University of Bath repeatedly

environment mean that Bath is
both welcoming and supportive.
Secondly, our internationally
recognised research and the quality
of our teaching means that students
feel they are prepared to make a
real impact wherever they go. It is
therefore not surprising to learn that
Bath graduates are in demand by
employers worldwide.”
