University of Bath

This degree is designed for those who wish to examine the role of sport, health and physical activity within society.

You'll have the opportunity to gain a fundamental understanding of sport management and development, coaching and physical education, and the sociology and psychology of sport. You will also develop an advanced understanding of at least one of these areas of study.

You’ll consider the contributions sport makes to society and assess whether and how sport can be improved. You will study against the backdrop of the University’s world-class multi-sport training environment.

In Year 1, you'll study introductory units in the key areas of sport management, coaching, development, sport psychology, the political and social context of sport, physical education, and research methods.

Year 2 gives you the opportunity to develop your knowledge of topics that interest you through a selection of optional units. These units will focus on areas connected to sport management, coaching, development, sport psychology, physical education, and the social context of sport, health and physical activity.

In your final year, you'll carry out a year-long research project and advance your studies in the core areas of sport covered across this course.

Our course teaches you how to use physical science, mathematics and computing to assess engineering systems. You'll combine this with creative innovation, and a focus on design and business to help give you the well-rounded set of skills professional engineers need.

At Bath, we take pride in playing a part in developing our students to not only fulfil their potential but also to prepare them for the challenges engineers face in the world beyond university. With this in mind, our course complements your engineering knowledge with transferable skills like complex problem solving and critical thinking. And it allows you to reflect on wider issues that impact engineering such as ethics, sustainability and environmental awareness.

Practical project work is central to your study experience. In your final year, you'll get the chance to put theory into practice with a semester-long, full-time individual project. You can also join one of our teams to take part in international competitions such as Formula Student or the Shell Eco Marathon.

This course is for you if you’re interested in studying computer science but want to wait until later in your degree before deciding what area to specialise in. It's a broad-ranging course providing you with the knowledge to apply computer science methods to new and emerging computing problems, and learn skills highly valued by employers.

You will gain a solid foundation in computer science with rigorous theory and practical experience. The course combines software systems design, software development, interaction design, artificial intelligence, computational mathematics, computer graphics, and vision.

During this course, you'll deepen and develop your understanding of politics at local, domestic, regional and international levels.

You’ll also gain the skills needed to critically analyse contemporary international and domestic socio-political challenges, from political polarisation to climate change. This will give you an effective platform to respond to key political factors that impact everyday life.

In Year 1, you’ll study topics such as political theory and analysis, international relations and British politics. You'll study the latter from a global and comparative perspective.

In Year 2, you'll increase your knowledge of political theory and international relations, and advance your skills in research design and data analysis. A range of optional units will give you the opportunity to specialise in areas such as foreign policy analysis or technology and politics.

In your final year, you’ll write a dissertation. You’ll also choose from a range of optional units, giving you the freedom to explore topics that interest you and prepare you for your potential future career. Optional units may cover areas like economic crises, war and peace or electoral politics.

This course will equip you with the skills and knowledge to be a part of the next generation of biomedical research scientists.

You’ll learn to apply biological sciences to explore human health and the causes, prevention and treatment of diseases such as cancer and Parkinson’s disease. You'll study a broad range of topics including genetics, genomics, human physiology, cancer, pathology, infection and immunity, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry and pharmacology.

Benefit from multi-departmental teaching

Developed in collaboration with our Department for Health and pharmacology researchers in the Department of Life Sciences, you'll benefit from specialist knowledge of human biology and pharmacology, providing you with a more in-depth understanding of biomedical sciences.

In the first two years, you will study a set of core units across both departments, with the opportunity to choose optional units in the second and penultimate year.

If you want a more in-depth study experience, you could consider applying for our MBiomed (Hons) Biomedical Sciences course.

This is a practical and flexible general management degree that will introduce you to the range of management subjects. Academics with research and teaching expertise in these subjects teach on the course.

A range of optional units will let you specialise or take a more general approach. If you do want to specialise, there are several ‘suggested routes’ you can follow. You’ll graduate ready for the career path you want to take.

You'll also learn about business in a social context, and related environmental responsibilities.

Year 1

You’ll learn key areas of management including marketing, accounting, business analytics and operations. This will give you a good foundation for the rest of your course.

Year 2

You’ll develop your knowledge of the subjects from Year 1 and customise your studies with optional units. These let you explore other areas of interest like marketing and corporate responsibility.

Final year

You’ll advance your knowledge of management strategy and choose more optional units.

Our ‘Advanced topics in management' unit covers topics from your first two years at a higher level. The latest research feeds into this unit, which we've designed to develop your critical thinking and independent learning skills. This prepares you for your Individual Project where you'll apply what you’ve learned on the course to a research question.
