University of Bath's official policy

This page summarises University of Bath's published contextual offer policy. Meeting the criteria means University of Bath may make you a contextual offer; it doesn't guarantee one, and some courses (often medicine, dentistry and other heavily oversubscribed courses) can have their own rules. Always check the university's own policy before relying on it.
