Student Support at the University of Bath

The University of Bath provides a wide range of student support services to help guide you through both your academic and personal journey. Whether you're looking for academic advice, counselling, or just someone to talk to, the university ensures that you feel supported throughout your time here.
The services available offer support and guidance in key areas such as counselling and mental health, disability support, money management, and advice for international students. In my own experience as an Environmental Engineering student (which falls under the Chemical Engineering department), I was initially overwhelmed when it came to choosing a dissertation topic. Many of the options were closely related to chemical engineering, which made me uncertain about which direction to take. Thankfully, I reached out to the student support services for 1-to-1 guidance, and my personal tutor helped me go through the available topics, assess my strengths, and make an informed decision.
Additionally, the mental health support at the university is exceptional. I personally sought help during a phase when I was feeling homesick, and the counselling service was incredibly supportive and understanding.
If you ever need guidance—whether it's for academics, mental health, financial advice, or adjusting as an international student—don't hesitate to reach out to the student support team (https://www.bath.ac.uk/professional-services/student-support/). They're here to help you thrive.
