Our team has a wealth of experience in preparing students for advanced level study and we have strong relationships with many UK and international universities.
Our small class sizes and personalised tuition allow us to focus more on students’ needs, resulting in exceptional academic performance leading to chosen places at desired universities.
To make sure we consistently meet expectations, our school is accredited by:

Because we are independent, our students have a large choice of universities to choose from. We offer extensive academic guidance based on our students’ preferences, from the start of the course all the way through to their UcAs application and personal statement.
established in 1989, the UFP was the UK’s first independent foundation programme in the country and continues to be recognised today as one of the leading foundation courses in the country.

“I really like my homestay because of the family that I’m staying with. They are amiable and I feel very comfortable with them. Moreover, they help me with everything that I need and I can ask them about all things that I’m interested in and they will be happy to discuss with me these things. So, I’m happy to stay with them.”

student residences
Located within 10 minutes’ walk from the school and city centre, Bath Academy’s student residences offer classic accommodation in beautiful grade 1 Listed georgian buildings. ideally positioned, students have the benefit of living in historical houses with modern amenities close to the city’s central hub, it’s the perfect base for your studies.
Both our residences have an experienced chef who serves home-cooked meals for every dietary and cultural requirement. students are served three meals a day with a cooked breakfast on the weekends. Trying new food and eating hot meals together in the evenings is an important aspect of student life, and provides a ‘family’ environment for those far away from home.
student life‘A city that is rich in culture and history, as well as home to a lively student hub.’
Bath is an exquisite georgian city located in the south-West of England. The city is full of fine architectural treasures and a rich diversity of museums, galleries, gardens and as well as sporting attractions. it is a busy university town with a thriving and vibrant community, which has much to offer to students both socially and academically. There is a year-round variety of festivals, theatre and music events, and plenty of sporting and cultural activities available locally to balance the pressures of study.
named as one of the safest cities in the UK, Bath is an ideal place to study as it’s small enough to navigate easily, but bustling with activity to keep students occupied outside of college. The city is also home to both the University of Bath and Bath spa University so you will be joining a well-established student community with a diverse social life.
