Notes for completion of application

Section 5: English language competence

All courses are taught in English and all non-native speakers are required to demonstrate that they have an appropriate level of spoken and written English for full academic and social participation.

The recommended level for visiting and exchange students is Level C1 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

• the School of Management always requires proof of C1 level
• most other departments will consider those who have reached level B2

We regret that students who are unable to demonstrate the appropriate level cannot be admitted.

Please give full details of your level of English, including

• how long you have been studying the language
• the results of any English exams which you have taken (school, university, IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge etc.)
• If you do not have an IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge test result, you will need to include a formal letter from your university stating the CEFR level which you have achieved.

If you require a Tier 4 (General) Student Visa you must also satisfy the UK Border Agency’s immigration requirements.  You will require a Tier 4 (General) Student Visa if you are not a national of an EU member state, EEA member state or Switzerland and you wish to study at Bath for the full academic year or for a Pharmacy programme of any length which includes rotations.

Section 7: Your proposed study programme

For exchanges with all departments except the School of Management, you can view the unit catalogue for your proposed programme of study (the unit catalogue for 2013/14 will be available from 15 April 2013).

If you intend to undertake an exchange with the School of Management, find details of the programmes and units available. Please note that the units offered are only available to those whose home institution has an exchange agreement with the School of Management.

Enrolment for units will be subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed in advance, but your provisional selection when applying will enable us to ensure that your choice is broadly appropriate. Please include at least three additional units as reserves.

Students will normally be asked to enrol on units on arrival.
