We prefer students with a range of maths and science-based subjects, and your typical offer depends on how many of these subjects you study in your A level subjects. If you study Chemistry and at least two other maths or science subjects: AAB in three A levels including A in Chemistry and two other science or mathematics subjects. If you study Chemistry and only one other maths or science subject: AAA in three A levels including Chemistry and one other science or mathematics subject. If you study four or more subjects and could meet either set of requirements, our typical offer will normally be the lower of the two (AAB). We will not require a pass in any separate science practical endorsement for a science A level if you apply for entry in 2022 (or deferred entry in 2023). Alternative offer: ABB or AAB 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. If you study Chemistry and at least two other maths or science subjects: ABB in three A levels including A in Chemistry and two other science or mathematics subjects plus one of: grade A in an EPQ, grade B in the Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate, grade B in a Core Mathematics qualification, grade B in AS level Mathematics or Statistics (except if you are studying an A level in that subject), grade B in a fourth A level, where your four A levels include Mathematics OR if you are eligible, a pass in the Access to Bath course or successful completion of another recognised widening access programme If you study Chemistry and only one other maths or science subject: AAB in three A levels including A in Chemistry and B in one other science or mathematics subject plus one of: grade A in an EPQ, grade B in the Welsh Baccalaureate Skills Challenge Certificate, grade B in a Core Mathematics qualification, grade B in AS level Mathematics or Statistics (except if you are studying an A level in that subject) OR if you are eligible, a pass in the Access to Bath course or successful completion of another recognised widening access programme Or alternatively, AAB in three A levels including A in Chemistry plus one of: grade B in a fourth A level, where your four A levels include 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 study four or more subjects and could meet both the AAB and ABB set of requirements, our typical alternative offer will normally be the lower of the two (ABB). We will not require a pass in any separate science practical endorsement for a science A level if you apply for entry in 2022 (or deferred entry in 2023). You can find out more about our alternative offers, including a complete list of qualifications we consider on our dedicated page.

T levels are not considered suitable preparation for this degree programme and are therefore not accepted for entry. If you require advice on how you may academically prepare to study this degree or present with a mix of qualifications, you should contact our Admissions Progression Team at admissions-progression@bath.ac.uk.

AA or AB in Advanced Highers If you study Chemistry and a second science or mathematics subject: AB in two Advanced Highers including A in Chemistry and a second science or mathematics subject. If Chemistry is your only science or mathematics Advanced Higher: AA in two Advanced Highers including Chemistry. 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. This must include at least 12 credits in Chemistry units achieved at Distinction (including units in both Organic and Inorganic Chemistry, but excluding Biochemistry) and a further 12 credits in Mathematics, Physics or Biology units achieved at Distinction.

D*DD in the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma (QCF) in Applied Science. You must be studying the following units as part of your BTEC qualification: Chemical Laboratory Techniques, Industrial Chemical Reactions, Chemical Periodicity and its Applications, Industrial Applications of Organic Chemistry. We prefer you to have also studied: Mathematical Calculations for Science, Energy Changes Sources and Applications, and Practical Chemical Analysis.

36 points overall and 6, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Chemistry and 5 in a second science or mathematics course. We accept either HL Mathematics course and Sports, Exercise and Health Sciences as a second science or mathematics subject for this degree. We cannot accept Standard Level Chemistry for this course. If you are not studying a second science or mathematics subject at Higher Level and you are taking it at Standard Level we may be able to consider you. In this case the typical offer is 36 points with 6, 5, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Chemistry plus 7 in the Standard Level subject. Standard Level Mathematics: Applications & Interpretations cannot be accepted as a second science or mathematics subject.

DDD in the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (RQF) in Applied Science. You must be studying the following units as part of your BTEC qualification: Applications of Organic Chemistry, Applications of Inorganic Chemistry, Industrial Chemical Reactions. We prefer you to have also studied Practical Chemical Analysis.

D3, D3, M1 or D3, D3, D3 We prefer students with a range of maths and science-based subjects, and your typical offer depends on how many of these subjects you study in your principal subjects. If you study Chemistry and at least two other maths or science subjects: D3, D3, M1 in three principal subjects including D3 in Chemistry and two other science or mathematics subjects. If you study Chemistry and only one other maths or science subject: D3, D3, D3 in three principal subjects including Chemistry and one other science or mathematics subject. If you study four or more subjects and could meet either set of requirements, our typical offer will normally be the lower of the two (D3, D3, M1). Cambridge Pre-U Alternative offer D3, M1, M1 or D3, D3, M1 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. Like our typical offer, the grades required by an alternative offer depend on the number of science and mathematics subjects you are studying. If you study Chemistry and at least two other maths or science subjects: D3, M1, M1 in three principal subjects including D3 in Chemistry and two other science or mathematics subjects plus one of: grade M1 in Cambridge Pre-U Global Perspectives, grade A in an EPQ, grade B in the Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate, grade B in a Core Mathematics qualification, grade M1 in a fourth principal subject, where your four principal subjects include Mathematics OR if you are eligible, a pass in the Access to Bath course or successful completion of another recognised widening access programme If you study Chemistry and only one other maths or science subject: D3, D3, M1 in three principal subjects including D3 in Chemistry and M1 in one other science or mathematics subject 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 B in a Core Mathematics qualification OR if you are eligible, a pass in the Access to Bath course or successful completion of another recognised widening access programme Or alternatively, D3, D3, M1 in three principal subjects including D3 in Chemistry plus one of: grade M1 in a fourth principal subject, where your four principal subjects include 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 study four or more subjects and could meet both the D3, D3, M1 and D3, M1, M1 set of requirements, our typical alternative offer will normally be the lower of the two (D3, D3, M1).
