Our Climate Action Framework

The school’s commitment to sustainability is embedded in our strategy. One of our four key values is sustainability and our aspiration ‘to play a positive role in encouraging and enabling futures in which our activities thrive in harmony with our environment and are mindful of reducing our environmental impacts’. You can read more about the actions we are taking here.

Getting around Bath

Bath is a very compact city and so is suitable for walking around the town. There is also an excellent and convenient public transport network of buses. Below we detail various ways you can get around. For more detailed travel advice, please have a look at our website here.

It is possible to walk from the city centre to the University. However, be prepared to tackle the very steep hill!

Public transport is well set up in Bath and we would always recommend using it to fit in line with our sustainability policy and climate action framework.

Train

Bath’s main railway station is Bath Spa. There is a taxi rank outside the station, where you can get a cab to the University campus. The journey will take around 10 minutes. 

Bus

You can get to the campus from Bath city centre on the following bus routes:

• U1
• U2
• Service 20
• Service 22

The main university bus stop (Arrivals Square) is directly opposite the School of Management building.

Find out more about getting here by bus.

During the summer months, buses run every 15 minutes between the centre of Bath and the University. Customers can pay on the bus with a contactless debit card/mobile device, or buy tickets in advance using the First Bus app. Timetables can be found here, or accessed in the First Bus app.

The nearest bus stops from the city centre (catch the U1 to the University of Bath) are:

• Railway station – located opposite the station
• DoubleTree by Hilton– adjacent to Bath Abbey

If you’d prefer to pre-book a taxi, you can call Veezu on 01225 46 46 46. Ubers also operate in the city.

Staying on campus

The University’s Claverton Down campus is located a short bus ride from the city centre. We would suggest staying on campus to minimise your carbon footprint.
