February to July 2022

Study an online course delivered by our academic staff which will support you to complete a research project (or another structured programme of activity, depending on your subject area), and develop key academic and employability skills.

Online sessions will be released regularly between February and July 2022 and can be worked through flexibly, but you’ll be supported every step of the way by your tutor, University of Bath students and your fellow Pathway students, who you’ll get to know in your live sessions.

25 to 27 July 2022

Take part in an action-packed 3- day residential during the summer holiday of 2022 (subject to COVID-19 restrictions allowing this to be possible).

You’ll stay in university halls, attend lectures and workshops, explore our award-winning facilities and world heritage city, and get involved in social activities to really experience life on campus.

September to December 2022

Receive support to make a competitive application to study at Bath and to make a successful transition to university, including exclusive sessions with Admissions Tutors, 1:1 personal statement support, and much more.

You will:

• have the opportunity to access an alternative offer to study at Bath
• develop key skills and knowledge for university and beyond
• gain valuable experiences to include in a UCAS application
• access personalised support to apply to university through self-directed learning and teamwork
• meet other like-minded students with similar study interests and future plans

Here's what some of this year's Pathway students said about the programme:

'The whole experience has been much better than I expected. I have learnt so much about such a broad field and have really enjoyed the program and would highly recommend people to apply.'

'Thank you so much. I really had a wonderful experience and the project was extremely fun and interesting and the skills I learnt were very important.'

We feel it’s important to work closely with schools and parents to make sure the students feel supported and parents/carers have the know-how they need to help young people prepare and apply for university. We ensure that we have a dialogue with parents/carers and teachers and provide them with the information they need.

If you are a teacher and would like to promote this amazing opportunity within your school or college please book a meeting for a virtual presentation for your students or a chat with us. You can use our promotional video, narrated Powerpoint or this simple PowerPoint presentation if you like!

The University of Bath is leading the Digital Divide project, addressing the challenge of not only providing content that gives young people the best chance of success, but also ensuring they have the means to access it. Please contact us if you anticipate any challenges applying for or completing the pre and post work online and we will do our best to support you.
