University of Bath official representative

My daughter has just gone to choose her accommodation and there is virtually nothing left unless she wants to share a room or live in the city! So what happens to all the rooms that have been allocated to students that unfortunately don't get a place?

I do not want her having to live in the city, and miss out on uni life!!

This is a little bit of feedback as a parent, I am most disappointed with the way Bath uni treats its applicants in many respects. You were the last university offering her a place, all the others made offers within 2 weeks, which meant there was only one offer holder open day we could come to, and now the problem with the accommodation? Too slow with your offers and too quick with allocating rooms, why do you not wait to see who actually gets in first as other unis do?

So what happens now? If she meets her offer i want her to enjoy uni not have to put up with the possibility of living with someone she doesn't get on with, not at the huge price its costing me!

I'd suggest letting your daughter make her own decisions. It is extremely poor practice to over-intrude into your daughter's life, who, no doubt, is mature enough to use the internet herself.

Irrespective, hopefully your daughter won't miss out on "uni life" and its virtues, such as the D.

Last year there were quite a lot of people who applied for accommodation late who got the offer to change to on campus accommodation after results (according to last years accommodation forum anyway), I believe these people get priority over those who have bath as insurance/get in through clearing or adjustment

Hi! I have received and accepted an offer from Bath university to study Computer Science starting this year. However, I made the (hard) decision of making it my insurance choice. I would like to know how likely it is that I will get accommodation on campus if I do start to study there. I would apply as soon as I know my results if that makes any difference.

Thank you!

Hi i was just wondering how lenient Bath are with grades. I am uncertain as to whether I will achieve the grades to do the course- partially due to personal circumstances, which my school have told Bath about. If i missed my offer by one grade are they likely to let me in?

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

This is a question we get a lot, and there is guidance available on our questions about results webpage.

In short, if spaces remain we will look to admit 'near miss' applicants, but it is impossible to predict how many spaces may remain once offer holders have been admitted and therefore we cannot say for certain whether we will be able to admit 'near miss' students, and if so how lenient we could be.

I am glad that your school have told us about your individual circumstances, and this will have been noted on your application.

Good luck with your results!

Steve

Thank you! I was also wondering about Bath's policy on offering a different course if you don't make it on the one you applied for?

Hi,

I've recently finished my AS exams and thus now looking into universities. I am considering Bath for Physics. A question I have is: does bath take into account contextual data? (i.e. postcode & average A-level attainment at college)

Thanks

Hi,
I am looking to apply for Natural Sciences (major in chemistry and minor in biochemistry) at Bath as like the idea of studying a range of sciences, but am applying for Chemistry at Oxford as it does not do natural sciences. I have 11 A*s at GCSE and 5 As at AS level, and am taking A levels in chemistry, biology, maths and further maths. To apply for oxford I have to focus my personal statement on chemistry, and was wondering would I still be considered for the natural sciences course?
Thank you!
