Hi! I am applying to Bath after just finishing my 1st Year at Southampton Uni for management.

Asked Bath if I would be able to transfer my credits into 2nd but was told that the management school does not accept transfers i.e. I have to start over and am taking a gap year to apply. Many universities in my top choices also don’t accept transfers.

I wanted to gauge the prospects of getting accepted to Bath

As of now:
- Ended 1st year by just about getting a first. A-level results obtaining A*AA with an A* for EPQ
- Member of some societies at Southampton (mostly business/entrepreneurship related)
- Helped run a summer school programme partnered with many Oxford University Colleges

I am also taking a gap year now to gain some experience working at a social enterprise and would like to take up an online course at Oxford Department for Continuing Education (again, related to management and social enterprises).

Likely to be January, depending on the course you picked. Bath likes to consider all applications before giving out offers.

Does bath send out confirmation emails when they receive your application? I’ve sent off my application a week ago but still haven’t heard back from them at all…

At some point you should receive an email to view Bath's applications tracker (detailed at the bottom of this page: https://www.bath.ac.uk/guides/applying-for-an-undergraduate-course/)

Have you checked your spam/junk folder?

Hi, I was thinking of applying to Pharmacy at Bath, mainly because I love the city and come under the WP to receive ABB. I'm also applying to Medicine, thus they will require a 2nd personal statement. I was wondering how competitive Bath is for Pharmacy. Thanks

Does anyone know how long it would take to get this email? My school submitted my application on Tuesday and I haven't heard anything yet?

Hi! I'm going to apply for the robotics course at Bath and I'm taking the subjects maths, physics and economics. At GCSE I got 777766655 and for A level I'm being predicated A*AB but it may go up in the next week. I unfortunately couldn't make it to the Open Days but I am planning to visit the city and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm very excited but nervous about starting university and I'm going to apply to Leeds, Sheffield and Liverpool (I'm still deciding on the last uni to apply to)
