Access and Admissions. We are committed to fair access and we encourage applications from applicants demonstrating the greatest potential to benefit from the type of education that we provide. Our admissions policies and procedures are designed to ensure that all applications are considered fairly and consistently, and in accordance with professional standards. Applying a holistic approach, individual applicants are considered on the basis of their merits, abilities and potential regardless of race, ethnic origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, socio-economic background, family circumstances, religious or political beliefs, affiliations or other irrelevant distinction. We do not currently use contextual data in making selection decisions at the point of application. We may use contextual data at the point of confirmation in order to allow additional consideration of factors which may have affected borderline students who have not met the conditions of their offer; this has been in place since October 2012 entry.

Access and Admissions. The University has appointed an Admissions Progression Officer who checks all incoming applications for relevant indicators of under-representation, using the full range of UCAS contextual data sources. Applicants are flagged and monitored throughout the decision- making process, and candidates are offered alternative methods of assessment of potential where appropriate. The Progression Officer works closely with our partner Further Education Colleges (FECs) to identify students who would not normally apply, but who would benefit from a University of Bath education. Progression routes for those with the potential to succeed at Bath are being established and managed on a case-by-case basis. The lessons learned from the early stages of this work will be passed back to partner college managers. Our use of contextual data is in line with the National Council for Educational Excellence2 recommendation that universities should use all the information available to them to identify “the best students with the greatest potential and ability to reach the highest academic achievement”. Our scheme has been designed with reference to SPA guidance3 on best practice in this area and will make appropriate use of the data UCAS provide.

Our scheme has been designed with reference to Supporting Professionalism in Admissions (SPA) guidance3 on best practice in this area and will make appropriate use of the data UCAS provides. Applicants are flagged and monitored throughout the decision- making process. Factors such as school performance are considered carefully in relation to POLAR3: 1-3 quintiles, with particular emphasis on those applying from quintile 1. This may result in a standard offer being made even though GCSE or AS attainment, or predicted grades, may be a little outside the normal range expected. These applicants are reviewed again at confirmation stage if they narrowly miss the conditions of any offer made. As part of our fair access strategy, additional consideration will also be given to applicants who have successfully completed an extended outreach programme such as On Track to Bath or a similar programme offered by a partner university. The Admissions Progression Officer also works closely to enhance the applicant experience of those applying with Access to HE Diplomas or vocational qualifications. Our aim is to ensure that admissions staff make fully informed decisions in each case and that any barriers these applicants may experience to their progression are mitigated. We work closely with our partner Further Education Colleges (FECs) to support applicants from these contexts and to ensure that they receive high quality, targeted Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) in relation to a Bath application. The University has introduced a travel bursary scheme for 2015 entry, to ensure that applicants from low-income families are able to attend departmental open days should they wish to do so.
