NEW DELHI: The University of Bath opens its applications for its undergraduate Economics courses for the academic year 2024-25. These courses all have the option to spend a year doing professional placements and study abroad experiences.
The University of Bath’s undergraduate Economics courses are designed for students seeking to understand how consumers and producers make choices, and how this affects supply and demand at a national and international level. Students will learn to analyze and solve complex quantitative problems and apply these skills to real-life economic challenges. Taking the mathematics pathway teaches students how mathematical language enables the development of financial theory, with a focus on building skills to analyze complex financial data. The politics pathway explores the connections between society, the government, and the economy – with students applying economic methods to policy issues and understanding how policies are formed.
Application Deadline: 31 January 2024
Students aiming to start in September 2024 should apply via UCAS by the 31 January 2024 deadline. At the University of Bath, students submitting applications by this date get equal consideration. Applying after the deadline runs the risk that courses may be full. As part of the UCAS process students submit a personal statement, a teacher’s reference, and other information.
Eligibility Criteria:
Students taking the Higher Secondary School Certificate (12th Standard) on the CBSE and CISCE boards require an average of 85% across four accepted subjects, with 85% in Mathematics for BSc Economics and BSc Economics with Politics, and 90% in Mathematics for BSc Economics and Mathematics. Students taking CBSE examinations must be studying Mathematics and not Applied Mathematics. A level or the International Baccalaureate Diploma entry requirements are also available on each course page. Students may be able to complete an International Foundation Year with Bath’s partner organisation Bath College first if they do not expect to meet the academic requirements in time. Students achieving the required grades at Bath College are guaranteed progression to a University of Bath degree. Foundation Years offered by other UK colleges and universities will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Students studying under different boards, taking other qualifications, or unsure on subject choices for 12th Standard should contact Undergraduate Admissions at admissions@bath.ac.uk .

BSc Economics and BSc Economics with Politics require IELTS 7.0 overall with no less than 6.5 in all components, BSc Economics with Mathematics needs IELTS 6.5 overall with no less than 6.0 in all components. The University also accepts Indian 12th Standard English scores for students studying CBSE, ISC or CISCE boards along with some other qualifications. Students needing to improve their English may be eligible to take a pre-sessional course.
Fees Structure:
Fees for Indian students starting these degrees in 2024 are £25,700 per year. Students on a placement year pay £7,135, as they receive support from the University during this time. As tuition fees increase annually, it is recommended to budget for an increase of up to 5% for every year of the course. Tuition fees must be paid annually according to the payment terms.
