Find out about our plans for offering a safe campus experience for the 2021 to 2022 academic year.
This course lasts 3 years. It starts in September 2021 and ends in 2024. Welcome week starts on 27 September 2021.
Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
At Bath, our courses are made up of units of study. Compulsory units cover core concepts that you'll need to understand as part of your degree programme. Some of our courses also offer the opportunity for you to study optional units. These allow you to specialise in particular areas of knowledge that interest you.
As an undergraduate, you will be expected to take 60 credits (ECTS) in each academic year. These are usually split into 30 credits for each semester you study. Sixty credits are the equivalent of 1200 notional hours of study; this includes contact time with staff and your own independent learning.
These compulsory units are currently being studied by our students, or are proposed new units.
You'll be able to choose from a number of optional units in year 3. Here are some examples of the units currently being studied by our students.
You’ll be taught and assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. These methods are designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding of the subject.
The balance of the assessment by examinations and assessment by coursework may depend on the optional units you choose.
A broad range of assessments methods will be used throughout the degree. As a guide, approximately 40% of assessment is by coursework over the duration of the course.
The final degree classification is determined by your second and final year marks and each contributes 32% and 68% respectively.
We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages for information.
You should expect to spend approximately 35 to 40 hours a week studying on your course. These hours consist of structured activities and independent learning.
You will experience a mix of in person teaching, that will take place on campus, and structured online learning delivered through the University’s virtual learning environment.
Typically, you can expect to spend between 18 to 23 hours on structured learning activities per week, of which approximately 70 to 80% will be in timetabled sessions on campus, and the remainder online.
Timetabled sessions delivered in person on campus will be a mix of lectures, seminars, tutorials and laboratories. Online activities may include following a recorded lecture, or other learning materials, or joining a timetabled live interactive session through Teams or Zoom.
The remainder of your time outside these structured activities will be spent in independent learning which includes individual research, reading course books, working on tutorials working on individual and group projects, preparing coursework assignments, presentations, or revising for exams.
To support you in your studies you will be able to access outside of timetabled learning facilities on campus and in Bath such as study spaces, computers, and the Library. You will also have access to laboratories and workshops.
To take full advantage of the online resources available to you, and to ensure you are prepared for learning fully online, should that become necessary, you will need regular access to a computer with a microphone and camera, along with a reliable internet connection. In order to fully participate in on-campus learning, having your own laptop is strongly advised. The University will make available to you the key software you need for your course, including access to Microsoft Teams and Zoom through your University account.
Key software for your curriculum will be accessible remotely or available to install in your own computer.
By studying a course with a professional accreditation, you could have the chance to get workplace experience, learn about new developments in the industry and apply for membership with the accrediting body. You may also be able to apply for jobs in the industry without having to do any more exams.
As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).
The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.
