Our participants on our outreach programmes are very important to us at the University of Bath. We will therefore guarantee an offer to those who successfully complete the programme (Pathway, Discover or Target Bath) and meet our eligability criteria as outlined below.

In order to be eligible for a guaranteed conditional offer to the University of Bath, you must:

  1. Successfully complete the outreach programme.
  2. If you are a participant on Discover or Target, please notify the outreach team for your programme when you submit your application, including your UCAS ID number in the email
  3. If you are a participant on Pathways, email in to participants@bath.ac.uk with your UCAS ID number when you submit your application.

You must meet the following criteria:

Application criteria

  1. Submit your application by the UCAS ‘on time’ deadline for the 2025 entry cycle.

  2. Complete all sections of the UCAS application.

Academic criteria

  1. Be studying towards three A levels (or equivalent) qualifications. If the qualification you are studying towards is not listed on the entry requirements section of your chosen degree’s webpage, please contact us before you apply to check if it is one that we can consider.

  2. Be predicted a minimum of one grade below the contextual offer for the course you are applying for. For example, if the contextual offer is AAA you will need to be predicted a minimum of AAB. The contextual offer for the course can be found through looking at the 'entry requirements' section for your chosen degree. All entry requirements can be found here.

  3. Meet the ‘minimum entry requirements’ for the course you have applied for, as specified below.

  4. Demonstrate an interest in the degree you have applied for through your personal statement.

  5. Our Pharmacy and Social Work and Applied Social Studies degrees require completion of a successful interview by all applicants; therefore, if all other criteria are met, you will be guaranteed an interview rather than a conditional offer.

  6. If all of your qualifications are BTECs or Cambridge Technicals, you must be studying in a relevant subject-area. In addition, for many of the courses below there is an interview as part of the admissions process for all applicants progressing via a BTEC qualification, as these qualifications can be harder for us to assess on paper. In this case, you will initially be guaranteed an interview rather than an offer. Please contact us for more information.

  7. If you meet the above criteria and minimum entry requirements (and are successful at interview where applicable), you will be given a conditional offer for the course you have applied for. You can find further information about our interview process here.

For the following degrees, the minimum entry requirements can be found through looking at the ‘entry requirements’ section for your chosen degree from the list below. All entry requirements can be found here:
