Department of Politics, Languages & International Studies offer holder events

Experience what it'll be like to study your chosen politics or modern languages course at Bath. You must have an undergraduate degree offer to attend.

Join us at an offer holder event

After you receive an offer to study one of our undergraduate politics and modern languages courses, you can attend an offer holder event.

Our offer holder events are designed to give you the opportunity to experience what life is like as a student at Bath.

You can attend if you have received an offer to study:

Each year, we typically offer a combination of the following:

an in-person Offer Holder Day, which will take place on our 四虎影院 campus
an in-person Department Visit Day, which is more focused on the Department you'll study within, rather than the University. This will also take place on our 四虎影院 campus
a Virtual Offer Holder Event, which you鈥檒l be able to attend online from anywhere in the world

You don鈥檛 have to accept your offer to attend one of these days.

Please note: Our 2026 offer holder events have now finished. We will add details about our 2027 events to this page early next year.

In-person Offer Holder Days

At an in-person OHD, you can experience our campus, speak to staff and students, and see the places that you鈥檒l live and study in during your time with us.

The day will consist of University and Department-level sessions.

During University-level sessions, you will:

join a campus tour

hear about our student support
visit the Information Fair to learn more about things like careers and employability opportunities, admissions, and campus facilities

During this, you鈥檒l:

speak to politics and modern languages students and teaching staff

Department Visit Day

We also offer a Department Visit Day, during which you can get to know the Department of Politics, Languages & International Studies and find out more about your chosen course.

At a Department Visit Day, you'll be able to:

explore the department's learning spaces
talk to current students and teaching staff
take part in taster sessions and ask any questions you may have
find out more about course-specific opportunities like professional placements, and working and studying abroad.

Although the Department Visit Day is focused on the department, rather than the University as a whole, you'll be able to walk around the campus and explore some of the University's facilities.

As it will take place on a weekday during term time, you'll be able to get a feel for the vibrancy of our campus and student community.

Virtual Offer Holder Events

Virtual Offer Holder Events give you the chance to experience Bath, no matter where you are.

They are very similar to in-person Offer Holder Days. You鈥檒l be able to attend University and Department-level sessions, during which you'll get information that will help you gain a better idea of what life as a student at Bath is like.

During your Department-level session, you'll receive an introductory talk from our teaching staff, followed by a student panel. This will give you the chance to have your questions answered by students on your course.
