BSc Mathematics

Natural Sciences & Mathematics

Partial

A*A*A including A* in Mathematics and A in Further Mathematics (A-level)

2026 entryUCAS · Apply by Jan 13

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.

Economics BSc (Hons)

Economics

Partial

A*AA including Mathematics (typical offer); AAB including A in Mathematics (contextual offer)

2026 entryUCAS · Apply by Jan 13

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.

September 2026 entry (Overseas applicants only, per the course page at research time)UCAS · Apply by Jan 13

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'.
