Filed under 'Engineering' rather than a dedicated Architecture bucket (none exists in the fixed taxonomy), the same treatment already used for the existing Strathclyde, Nottingham, and Manchester Architecture entries. No SAT/ACT figure given. No direct SAT/ACT figure published.
Official source ↗BSc Biochemistry
Natural Sciences & Mathematics
AAB including Biology and Chemistry (A-level)
Bath's own BSc Biochemistry course page gives a typical offer of AAB including Biology and Chemistry, and a real, course-specific USA figure: 5, 5, 4 across three AP Tests including Biology at 5 and Chemistry at 5 (no more than one Calculus AP, AP Seminar/Research excluded).

Official source ↗BSc International Management
Business & Management
AAA or A*AB (A-level; no specific subjects required)
Bath's own BSc International Management course page gives a typical offer of AAA or A*AB with no specific A-level subjects required, and a real, course-specific USA figure: 5, 5, 5 across three AP Tests (no more than one Calculus AP, AP Seminar/Research excluded), plus a Mathematics-subscore requirement satisfied by grade 3+ in AP Calculus AB/BC/Statistics/Precalculus, OR 700 in SAT Mathematics, OR 28 in ACT Mathematics -- a subscore, not a composite total, so per the established treatment (same as the existing Bath Management entry) it is not published as direct SAT/ACT figure. This is a 4-year degree including a compulsory 12-month year abroad.
Official source ↗BSc Mathematics
Natural Sciences & Mathematics
A*A*A including A* in Mathematics and A in Further Mathematics (A-level)
Bath's own BSc Mathematics course page gives a typical offer of A*A*A including Mathematics and Further Mathematics at A*A. Its USA panel is a genuine, current gap rather than an unaddressed one: the page states verbatim, 'We are reviewing our typical requirements for this qualification for this course and will publish new information soon,' and separately confirms SAT Subject Tests are not accepted for direct entry. No direct SAT/ACT figure published -- kept as found rather than estimated.
Official source ↗BSc Natural Sciences
Natural Sciences & Mathematics
A*AA including Biology+Chemistry, Chemistry+Maths, or Biology/Chemistry+Maths+Physics (A-level)
Bath's own BSc Natural Sciences course page gives a typical offer of A*AA in one of several set subject combinations (the combination studied determines which subject streams are available), and a real, course-specific USA figure that similarly branches by stream: 5, 5, 5 across three AP Tests including Chemistry and either Biology or Calculus BC, OR 5, 5, 5, 5 across four AP Tests including Calculus BC, Physics 1 and 2, and either Biology or Chemistry (no more than one Calculus AP, AP Seminar/Research excluded) -- plus a Mathematics-subscore requirement satisfied by grade 3+ in AP Calculus AB/BC/Statistics/Precalculus, OR 700 in SAT Mathematics, OR 28 in ACT Mathematics, not published as direct SAT/ACT figure per the established subscore treatment.
Official source ↗BSc Physics
Natural Sciences & Mathematics
A*AA including Mathematics and Physics, with A* in one of the two (A-level)
Bath's own BSc Physics course page gives a typical offer of A*AA including Mathematics and Physics, and a real, course-specific USA figure: 5 in AP Calculus BC plus 5 in both AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2 (three AP Tests total). No SAT/ACT figure given. No direct SAT/ACT figure published.
Official source ↗BSc Politics and International Relations
International Relations & Politics
AAA or A*AB (A-level; no specific subjects required)
Bath's own BSc Politics and International Relations course page gives a typical offer of AAA or A*AB with no specific A-level subjects required, and a real, course-specific USA figure: 5, 5, 5 across three AP Tests with no specific subjects required (no more than one Calculus AP, AP Seminar/Research excluded). No SAT/ACT figure given. No direct SAT/ACT figure published.
Official source ↗BSc Psychology
Psychology
A*AA (A-level)
Bath's own BSc Psychology course page gives a typical offer of A*AA and a real, course-specific USA figure: 5, 5, 5 in three AP Tests (no more than one Calculus AP, AP Seminar/Research excluded), plus a Mathematics-subscore requirement satisfied by grade 3+ in AP Calculus AB/BC/Statistics/Precalculus, OR 720 in SAT Mathematics, OR 30 in ACT Mathematics -- a subscore, not a composite total, so per the established treatment (same as the existing Bath Management entry) it is not published as direct SAT/ACT figure. Honours/Dual Enrolment classes and a 3.5 GPA Associate Degree route also accepted.
Official source ↗BSc Social Sciences
Humanities
ABB (A-level; no specific subjects required)
Bath's own BSc Social Sciences course page gives a typical offer of ABB with no specific A-level subjects required, and a real, course-specific USA figure: 5, 4, 4 across three AP Tests (no more than one Calculus AP, AP Seminar/Research excluded). Filed under 'Humanities' as the closest fit (no dedicated Social Sciences/Sociology bucket exists in the fixed taxonomy), the same closest-fit treatment already used elsewhere for subjects like Social Anthropology. No SAT/ACT figure given. No direct SAT/ACT figure published.
Official source ↗BSc Sociology
Humanities
AAB (A-level; no specific subjects required)
Bath's own BSc Sociology course page gives a typical offer of AAB with no specific A-level subjects required, and a real, course-specific USA figure: 5, 5, 4 across three AP Tests (no more than one Calculus AP, AP Seminar/Research excluded).

Official source ↗BSc Sport and Exercise Science
Sport, Exercise & Tourism
AAA or A*AB including one of Biology/Chemistry/Further Maths/Maths/Physics/Psychology/Statistics (A-level)

No SAT/ACT figure given. No direct SAT/ACT figure published.
Official source ↗Economics BSc (Hons)
Economics
A*AA including Mathematics (typical offer); AAB including A in Mathematics (contextual offer)
Bath's Economics BSc course page states the university 'looks for evidence of high academic standard across breadth of study' and will consider SAT/ACT scores 'if you have them' -- not a defined minimum score, unlike Bath's Management and Psychology courses (which do publish a specific AP/SAT/ACT Maths-subject figure elsewhere on the site). The one concrete US-applicant figure found for Economics is a Mathematics-subject substitute only: Grade 3 in AP Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Statistics, or Precalculus. No direct SAT/ACT figure published since no defined score threshold exists for this course. Tuition not confirmed -- left unset.
Official source ↗Management BSc (Hons)
Business & Management
AAA or A*AB typical offer, ABB contextual offer (A-level)
Bath's own course page confirms the A-level standard above and states US applicants need 5,5,5 across three AP Tests, plus a maths-specific requirement satisfied by AP Calculus AB/BC/Statistics at grade 3+, or SAT Maths subscore 700+, or ACT Maths subscore 28+ -- all subscore/subject-level figures, not a general composite SAT/ACT total, so no direct SAT/ACT figure published (avoiding misrepresenting a subscore as a composite, same treatment as Bristol's EBRW-only figure elsewhere). Page also flagged, at research time, that the course is 'closed to applications from Home students for September 2026 entry' while still open to Overseas applicants -- a genuinely current, time-sensitive detail worth noting rather than a stale one. Kept at 'partial'.
Official source ↗MChem Chemistry
Natural Sciences & Mathematics
AAB or AAA depending on subject mix, including Chemistry (A-level)
Bath's own MChem Chemistry course page gives a typical offer of AAB or AAA depending on how many science/maths subjects are studied alongside Chemistry, and a real, course-specific USA figure: 5, 5, 4 across three AP Tests including Chemistry at 5 and one other science/maths subject at 4 (no more than one Calculus AP, AP Seminar/Research excluded), plus a Mathematics-subscore requirement satisfied by grade 3+ in AP Calculus AB/BC/Statistics/Precalculus, OR 700 in SAT Mathematics, OR 28 in ACT Mathematics -- a subscore, not a composite total, so per the established treatment it is not published as direct SAT/ACT figure.
Official source ↗MEng Chemical Engineering
Engineering
A*AA including Chemistry and Mathematics (A-level)
Bath's own MEng Chemical Engineering course page gives a typical offer of A*AA including Chemistry and Mathematics, and a real, course-specific USA figure: 5, 5, 5 across three AP Tests including Calculus BC and Chemistry (Calculus AB/AP Seminar/Research excluded).
