Thank you for all your efforts on our behalf over the past year. It has been a pleasure working with you all and we look forward to continuing to do so in the coming cycle.

Please make sure that all initial invoices are submitted by 15 November to: agents@bath.ac.uk. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Undergraduate Admissions Update^
The new admissions cycle is well underway and we encourage applications to be made by the UCAS equal consideration deadline of 26 January. Many of our courses are extremely popular and the possibility of these courses being closed to further applications post the deadline, is highly likely.

We will not be able to consider Year 2 entry for any courses for the 2022 cycle due to current numbers. Should a student be considering transferring to Bath, we will only be able to offer Year 1 entry.
Decisions might take a little longer to ensure we can provide equal consideration to all who apply before 26th of January. Please review this webpage to provide you with an insight of the admissions process.
If you have any specific updates about exams being cancelled please email us at uginternationaladmissions@bath.ac.uk. We want to ensure that we reassure students through the application process. Your support with this is appreciated.
