In 1966, the college was granted a royal charter, officially becoming the University of Bath.
The university's Claverton Down campus, which offers panoramic views of the city, was built in the early 1960s and opened in 1966. Since then, the University of Bath has seen substantial growth in both infrastructure and academic offerings.
