Tuition Fees
Tuition fees cover the costs of your
academic education at Bath. They include
core teaching costs, Students’ Union
charges, registration and examination
fees. Supplementary examinations and
re-examination fees, field trips, books and
non-core equipment are not included.
Relevant placement fees are charged
during placement and study abroad years.
If we offer you a place, we will decide
whether you are a UK/EU or overseas
student for fees purposes. We will
then be in a position to give you more
detailed information on the costs of your
programme of study.
UK and European Union
Students
Although this prospectus is produced
for the guidance of students who wish
to enter the University in the 2012-13
academic year, the University is not in
a position to publish its tuition fees/
graduate contributions for 2012-13 at the
time of going to press. This is because
the prospectus was printed in December
2010 and at that time the University
was still awaiting further information from
the Department of Business, Innovation
and Skills and the Higher Education
funding Council for England about
the funding framework for the 2012-13
academic session.
Updated information will be available at:
www.bath.ac.uk/study/ug/finance
Overseas Students
If you are an overseas student, you will
not be able to apply for UK Government
funding. You must make sure you can
cover all your living expenses for each
year of study. We want to make sure
that your studies are not unnecessarily
disrupted, and may therefore ask you for
advance written evidence that you, your
family or sponsor can pay the tuition fees.
You must ensure that you have sufficient
resources to cover tuition as well as living
expenses before you accept any offer we
make to you.
University of Bath International
Scholarships
The University offers a small number
of scholarships towards tuition fees for
overseas fee paying undergraduates.

Scholarships and Bursaries
At the University of Bath we are committed
to attracting the best and brightest
students and encouraging them to benefit
from everything that a Bath education
has to offer, regardless of their financial
circumstances. We are fortunate to be
supported by a range of donors, including
many university alumni, who share our
pride in our students’ achievements.
Scholarships
The criteria for scholarships vary, but
generally, they are awarded to exceptional
students in order to enable them to
continue to excel whilst at the University
of Bath and beyond. The scholarships
allow them to overcome any financial
or other barriers that may prevent them
reaching their full potential, and benefiting
from everything the University of Bath
experience can offer.
In 2011 the University offered around
100 scholarships across all Faculties
and Departments ranging from £1,000
to £3,000 pa.
University of Bath Bursary
The Bath Bursary Scheme has generously
assisted almost 4,000 UK students from
lower income families since 2006, typically
providing each student with up to £1,200
per year on top of their Government
Student Support.
The Bath Bursary Scheme will be
reviewed for 2012 entrants.

I had been working as
a waitress since I was 15
to try and fund myself
through university but it just
wasn’t enough. Without my
scholarship I would never had
made it to university in the
first place.

The scholarship has
pushed me that extra 10 per
cent. I want to be worthy of
my award.
