Overview

The University of Bath is a public university located in Bath, Somerset, United Kingdom. It received its royal charter in 1966, along with a number of other institutions following the Robbins Report. Like the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England, Bath can trace its roots to the Merchant Venturers’ Technical College, established in Bristol as a school in 1595 by the Society of Merchant Venturers. The university’s main campus is located on Claverton Down, a site overlooking the city of Bath, and was purpose-built, constructed in 1964 in the modernist style of the time.

As of 2018, in national rankings the university is currently placed 6th according to the Guardian, 5th in the Complete University Guide. In The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2014, the university was awarded the title of “Best Campus University in Britain” and in 2012 the title of ‘University of the Year 2011/12’.

The university is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the Association of MBAs, the European Quality Improvement System, the European University Association, Universities UK, and GW4.
