Your year at Bath
A year of opportunity. A lifetime of possibility.
Our MSc courses last 12 months. During your year with us you’ll have lots of opportunities to add to your learning.
You will not be alone. We have dedicated Student Experience Officers to support you. They provide a confidential drop-in advice service and can help with any personal or academic issues you might have. They also organise social events to help you get to know fellow students and enjoy life outside the classroom.
