Undergraduate applications go through UCAS with an equal-consideration deadline of 14 January 2027 for September 2027 entry. Taught Master's courses accept applications on a rolling basis, but management and computer science programmes are competitive and often close by spring, so apply early.
Bath has a single main intake in September for both undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses. A few Master's programmes offer a January start in some years, so check the course page if you need one.
You need a Student route visa. Bath issues your CAS once you accept an unconditional offer and pay the deposit. Apply online up to six months before your course starts, showing proof of funds, and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge as part of the application.
Computer science, management, data science, mechanical engineering and finance are the most applied-for programmes. Most Master's courses ask for a 2:1 or equivalent and IELTS 6.5. Undergraduate offers typically range from A*AA to AAB, with engineering requiring A-level maths or equivalent.
