AAA or A*AB in three A levels including A in Mathematics.

If you are taking a GCE A level in a science subject, you will need to pass any separate science practical endorsement.

Most of our students will join us with three A levels, but you may have study beyond this (such as a project qualification or additional study in maths) which demonstrates your individual talents that will help you with your degree. We recognise these studies through our alternative offers.

AAB in three A levels including A in Mathematics plus one of:

• grade A in an EPQ
• grade B in the Welsh Baccalaureate Skills Challenge Certificate
• grade A in AS level Further Mathematics
• grade B in a fourth A level, where your four A levels include A level Further Mathematics

If you receive an offer for this course and are studying one of these qualifications you will be given both the typical and alternative offer. If you are taking a GCE A level in a science subject, you will need to pass any separate science practical endorsement.

You can find out more about our alternative offers, including a complete list of qualifications we consider on our dedicated page.

36 points overall and 6, 6, 6 or 7, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Mathematics.

You may be considered if you are taking Standard Level Mathematics alongside a highly numerate Higher Level subject (such as Physics). In this case the typical offer is 36 points overall with 6, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects and 7 in Standard Level Mathematics.

DDD in the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (RQF) plus A in A level Mathematics.

You must be studying A level Mathematics alongside your BTEC qualification. We prefer BTEC qualifications in Business, but you can also be considered if you are studying qualifications in Engineering or Science. In this case we would expect you to demonstrate evidence of strong essay-based skills, such as strong GCSE performance in English and humanities subjects.

D*DD in the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma (QCF) plus A in A level Mathematics.

You must be studying A level Mathematics alongside your BTEC qualification. We prefer BTEC qualifications in Business, but you can also be considered if you are studying qualifications in Engineering or Science. In this case we would expect you to demonstrate evidence of strong essay-based skills, such as strong GCSE performance in English and humanities subjects.

D*DD in the Cambridge Technical Level 3 Extended Diploma plus A in A level Mathematics.

You must be studying A level Mathematics alongside your Cambridge Technical qualification. We prefer Cambridge Technical qualifications in Business, but you can also be considered if you are studying qualifications in Engineering or Science. In this case we would expect you to demonstrate evidence of strong essay-based skills, such as strong GCSE performance in English and humanities subjects.

D3, D3, D3 or D2, D3, M1 in three principal subjects including D3 in Mathematics.

Most of our students will join us with three principal subjects, but you may have study beyond this (such as a Global Perspectives course or additional study in maths) which demonstrates your individual talents that will help you with your degree. We recognise these studies through our alternative offers.

D3, D3, M1 in three principal subjects including D3 in Mathematics plus one of:

• grade M1 in Cambridge Pre-U Global Perspectives
• grade A in an EPQ
• grade B in the Welsh Baccalaureate Skills Challenge Certificate
• grade M1 in a fourth principal subject, where your four principal subjects include Further Mathematics

If you receive an offer for this course and are studying one of these qualifications you will be given both the typical and alternative offer.

AA in two Advanced Highers including Mathematics.

We make offers based on Advanced Highers. You will typically be expected to have completed five Scottish Highers and your grades in these will be considered as part of your application. We prefer applicants who have achieved at least AAAAB in their Highers.

A pass in the Access to HE Diploma with at least 36 credits achieved at Distinction and 3 credits achieved at Merit or above including at least 12 credits achieved at Distinction from Mathematics units.

As our Accounting and Finance course has a strong mathematical component, you will need to be studying Mathematics units worth at least 12 credits.

Pass units worth 120 credits including a minimum of a Pass 2 with 75% in a relevant Level 2 Mathematics unit worth at least 30 credits.

Your units should offer at least one other subject. We would ideally be looking for you to be taking units including:

• MST124: Essential Mathematics 1
• MST224: Mathematical Methods

This information is a guide and all students applying with Open University Credits will be considered on a case-by-case basis. We will consider your application carefully and take note of any previous qualifications or relevant work experience. We may be able to consider alternative units to those listed above. Please contact us to discuss your profile.

Taking OU credits may be counted as degree-level study by the Student Loans Company and therefore may be counted as previous study and have an impact on your ability to access student loans/grants for the entirety of your chosen degree. We recommend that you discuss this in detail with the SLC before following this progression route to the University of Bath.

Your application will be considered individually based on the particular combination of qualifications and subjects that you are taking.

We can consider combinations of accepted qualifications, of which some common examples are:

• AA at A level including Mathematics plus D in the National Extended Certificate (RQF) OR the Cambridge Technical Extended Certificate (RQF)
• A in A level Mathematics plus DD in the BTEC National Diploma (RQF)
• AA at A level plus D3 in a Pre-U principal subject including Mathematics
• AA at A level plus 6 in an IB Higher Level (HL) Certificate including Mathematics. While we do not consider the IB Careers Programme for entry, we are able to consider the combinations of components that are typically offered by this route, such as BTEC and IB HL Certificate combinations
• AA at A level including Mathematics and excluding Accounting, plus A in the LIBF Level 3 Diploma in Financial Studies (DipFS)

We can also consider combinations that are not listed and that do not include A levels. You should read the information about essential and preferred subjects and subject combinations. We cannot consider different qualifications in the same subject area.
