The River Avon runs through the city, offering an ideal place to row or jog. While the program's particular strength lies in English literature, students may select their four 4-credit courses from a range of topics in the humanities, including culteral studies, contemporary society, history and education. An 8-credit course in education combines an introduction to the British educational system with practical experience in local primary or secondary schools. Orientation The Bath orientation includes visits in and around Bath, provides practical information on living and studying in England, and culminates in a reception in one of the many historic Bath sites. Academic Support Students are each assigned a staff member who serves as both academic and personal counselor.
Students cook for themselves, and a meal allowance is included in the program fee.
Activities ASE sponsors a wide range of social events and excursions. Through a special arrangement with the University of Bath, ASE students become members of the Students' Union and have access to University of Bath clubs and activities, including lacrosse, rugby, crew, wine tasting and pottery.
