The Bath Spa University, our Legacy Selection centre, offers the perfect balance for a study vacation that is anything but dull. Surrounded by the rolling hills that embrace the city, it provides a peaceful yet stimulating study environment, designed to ensure an outstanding educational experience.

Study Holiday in Bath: The City

From its Roman past, seen in the beautifully preserved ancient thermal baths, to its elegant Georgian architecture, Bath is a living museum where students can experience British history firsthand.

The city, originally built on the foundations of ancient Aquae Sulis, flourished in the 17th century and reached its peak during the Georgian era, when it became a favourite retreat for English high society.

Even today, strolling through its golden-stone-paved streets, you can feel its refined atmosphere in the grand residential complexes of The Circus, a circular masterpiece of townhouses, and The Royal Crescent, the iconic crescent-shaped row of houses overlooking Royal Victoria Park.

The city’s stunning Georgian and Neoclassical architecture provides a unique educational setting where students can immerse themselves in a historically rich and inspiring environment.

But the magic of Bath goes beyond its architecture. The city is a vibrant cultural hub, home to numerous museums, art galleries, and international festivals. The Jane Austen Centre celebrates the famous author who set two of her novels here, while the Fashion Museum explores the evolution of British fashion over the centuries.

Modern boutiques and cafés blend seamlessly with historic buildings, creating the perfect mix of past and present—an ideal atmosphere for a stimulating and engaging study experience.

A High-Quality Educational Experience

At the heart of this historic setting is Bath Spa University, our Legacy Selection centre, nestled in the green hills surrounding the city. Just a 20-minute bus ride from the historic centre, the campus offers the perfect blend of British academic tradition and innovative teaching.

What makes a study holiday in Bath truly special is the attention to detail in every aspect of the stay. Students find themselves in a dynamic and safe environment designed to support both learning and personal growth.

The college accommodation includes single rooms with private bathrooms, ensuring comfort and privacy, while shared common areas encourage social interaction and real-life language practice.

Alternatively, students can opt for a homestay experience, living with a local host family and sharing accommodation with an Italian or international course-mate. This gives you the ultimate authentic British experience! In both cases, full board is provided, including packed lunches on full-day excursions.

Certified Academic Excellence

Our top-tier educational programme, certified by the British Council, takes an innovative approach to English language teaching. We offer two engaging courses designed to make learning an adventure:

• The Voyagers Course welcomes young learners aged 11–14, combining creativity and play with natural language acquisition.
• The Trailblazers Course is designed for students aged 14–17, offering a more structured learning path where language skills are developed through stimulating projects and discussions on current topics.

With 15 hours of lessons per week, students have the opportunity to express themselves in English in a supportive and engaging environment. Our experienced teachers, specialised in teaching English as a foreign language, tailor their approach based on an initial assessment to create dynamic and well-matched learning groups.

Students also have the chance to certify their progress through the renowned Trinity GESE Exam, which can be taken conveniently online. This programme doesn’t just teach a language—it opens the door to a whole new way of communicating and understanding different cultures.
