University of Bath offer holders 2015 entry

Aww thats fine haha, i just applied for straight economics with placement year! For A2 I'm predicted a* economics a maths a history, and got a b in psychology AS. What course are you applying for?

Oh right haha, i only know one other person that has applied for economics straight and he's predicted one a* too! Fair enough, i thought they put the classes together until placement year/final year

Got an offer for Econ A*AA

Does anyone know if it's possible to go for a year in industry if I change my mind later? I've applied for the 3 year course

Hi I received my offer from Bath University for Aerospace Engineering yesterday (hype is real) with a condition of A*AA. Will probably put as my firm but I want to know when they send me a UCAS visit day, what life is like as a Bath student and do I ACTUALLY need A*AA or will they lower to AAA if they don't fill all places. Either way I'm super-motivated to aim for those A*s. I'm currently studying maths, physics and chemistry (along with EPQ which is a bore).
Thank you!

Hi,


I'm Rob - a first year civil engineer student!


Personally I think Bath is a lovely place! It's very beautiful and has some fantastic architecture if this interests you. The journey into town is about 10 minutes on the bus and has all the shops you'd expect from a city as well as the more 'cute' shops from a 'touristy' city like Bath.


Some people worry that the city is a bit small and boring. Personally I didn't find this and am more than happy with the city. I think this is only something to consider if you are used to very busy cities such as London or a party capital!


In terms of the campus, it's pretty small but I like this as everything is so close and really convenient. There are shops, banks, cafes, a club and much more on campus! I think it's quite a happening campus - things always seem to be on. We have really good sports facilities and some great clubs for all abilities. As with all universities we have hundreds of societies for any interest you may have.


In your first year you'll probably be living on campus which means you're just 5 minutes away from your lectures (great for a 9.15 lecture!). The accommodation is pretty typical for university and varies depending on price.




In terms of lowering your grades from A*AA to AAA, I simply couldn't comment. This will be down to the admissions tutor, and based on how strong your application is and how strong all the applications from other students are. Obviously my advice is to do as well as you can and try and reach the A*AA requirement. You are correct that Unis sometimes will still accept you if you don't quite make the grades. However this is not something to rely on and will not happen in all cases. If you are having Bath as your firm then you can obviously keep your fingers crossed for the lower grade acceptance but you will also have your insurance choice which you can fall back on.


I hope that help, if you have any more questions then feel free to ask!


Best of luck!

Rob

Hi. I have considered applying for management in Durham but I did some research and apparently the business courses are not taught in the main campus. The classes would be almost an hour's drive from the main campus. Disappointing, I know.
