Getting in
As the university states it
You should have a first or strong second-class undergraduate degree or international equivalent. To apply for this course, your undergraduate degree should be in a subject that incorporates a substantial mathematical element such as mathematics, statistics, computer science, physics, chemistry, engineering or economics. Computer programming experience would also be advantageous. We will also consider other subjects, for example geography or biology, which may meet the criteria depending on their specific mathematical and computing content. We may make an offer based on a lower grade if you can provide evidence of your suitability for the degree. If your first language is not English but within the last 2 years you completed your degree in the UK you may be exempt from our English language requirements. Before you apply, please check the University of Bath website for the most recently published entry requirements.
