The University does not have standing guidelines or a handbook for admissions tutors. Advice and guidance is issued as required throughout the academic year.

The Freedom of Information Act (s21) sets out an exemption from the right to access information if the information requested is accessible by other means. Some of the information you have requested falls within the remit of this exemption.

The University’s admissions policies are published at: http://www.bath.ac.uk/admissions/policy/ .

The University’s Quality Assurance Code of Practice Statement on Recruitment, Selection and Admission of Students can be viewed at: http://www.bath.ac.uk/learningandteaching/cop/qastatements/QAX/QA22.pdf.

The University does not routinely collect or retain records of A-level grade offers made, but details of typical offers are included on the appropriate subject pages of the University prospectus which is available from:

http://www.bath.ac.uk/prospectus/undergrad/ .

The University does not maintain an institutional list of acceptable/problematic subjects. At subject level, the information on which the University formally selects candidates for admission is published in the University’s prospectus and on the web pages of academic departments.

In addition to all the above, the University’s approach to widening participation is outlined at:
