Living and Studying in Bath

Bath was established by the Romans as a spa resort due to its natural hot springs, which were thought to have healing properties. The Romans built the historic Baths which can still be seen today and attract a large number tourists each year.

During the Georgian era the spa resort developed into the city we know today. The city of Bath was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1987 and the spectacular Georgian architecture crafted from Bath stone makes it one of Europe’s most renowned and beautiful cities.

The Thermae Spa allows visitors to experience a modern take on the Roman ritual of ‘taking the waters’. Bath is a lively and vibrant city with a large student population due to its two universities.
