• Undergraduate study 2027 https://www.bath.ac.uk/topics/undergraduate-study-2027/

  Model elements: Bath asks applicants to find an undergraduate course through the personalised prospectus or academic subject list, and states that it offers more than 190 undergraduate degrees.

  The same page records rank 125 in the QS World University Rankings 2027.

  This supports a pre-defined undergraduate degree model rather than a university-wide open pathway.

• Applying for an undergraduate course https://www.bath.ac.uk/guides/applying-for-an-undergraduate-course/

  Model elements: applicants must research the course they want to study and check course-specific entry requirements.

  The UCAS application requires the UCAS code of the chosen course and Bath's institution code B16.

  This further supports programChoice 0: the main entry route is into a selected course, not into a broad college with later major choice.

• Natural Sciences BSc with professional placement or study abroad https://www.bath.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate-2027/natural-sciences/bsc-natural-sciences-with-professional-placement-or-study-abroad

  Verified but non-dominant flexible element: Natural Sciences lets students choose two main subjects, add units from an additional subject, and specialise in one main subject in the final year.

  The page also describes compulsory and optional units, 120 credits per academic year, and optional study abroad or professional placement in year 3.

  This flexibility is recorded as a caveat, but it does not raise programChoice above 0 because it is a separate named course with a UCAS code, not the general model for all undergraduate degrees.

• Mathematical sciences courses https://www.bath.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate-2027/mathematical-sciences/

  Model elements: Mathematical Sciences lists named single-honours courses, joint honours alternatives, and a wide range of optional units after year one.

  The page also states that all listed courses include the option of professional placement or study abroad.

  This supports substantial course choice inside a chosen subject area, but not free university-wide major or minor choice.

• Studying abroad as part of your undergraduate degree https://www.bath.ac.uk/campaigns/studying-abroad-as-part-of-your-undergraduate-degree/

  Model elements: Bath describes opportunities within most courses to undertake a study period abroad and to study at one of its partner universities for one or two semesters.

  Options depend on the course and individual circumstances, and students contact a departmental exchange coordinator for scheme eligibility.

  Strict cross-registration review: this source does not prove ordinary selection of individual external courses that can be credited into the degree record. It remains mobility or transfer context, while courseChoice is lowered to 1 based on verified internal elective or optional blocks inside programmes.

• Credit schemes https://www.bath.ac.uk/corporate-information/credit-schemes/

  Model elements: Bath uses the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation Scheme, where one academic year of full-time undergraduate study typically equals 60 ECTS credits.

  The source provides the credit framework for interpreting duration and study-abroad variants.

  Card duration: 3 years for standard BSc/BA routes and up to 5 years for integrated master's or placement/study-abroad variants.

• HESA Where do HE students study https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/students/where-study

  The HESA 2024/25 publication for The University of Bath reports 13,605 undergraduates, 4,955 postgraduates and 18,560 total students. HESA figures are rounded to the nearest 5.

  The catalog field stores the undergraduate figure. The specialist degree level does not apply to the UK model, so specialist enrollment is stored as 0.
