Explanatory notes
Students counted
The tables here summarise the numbers of students studying at, or in association with, the University of Bath Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences in the academic year 2020/21 at the snapshot date of 1 December 2020. It is at this date that early returns from Universities are made to the Higher Education Funding Councils. The overall total of students given in these tables (6,665) is the number of those with active registrations at the census date; it excludes all students whose registration was in suspense, and those research students who, having completed their research, were writing-up their theses either with reduced supervision or without supervision.
Student types
Two types of students are included: core and visiting. Visiting students are incoming students on exchange programmes such as the EU SOCRATES-ERASMUS programme, or students on programmes jointly run with other universities who are studying at Bath but do not intend to gain an award from the University of Bath.
Levels
Three levels are included: undergraduate (taught programmes only, Foundation Degree/sub-degree, and degree, including undergraduate Masters such as MEng), postgraduate taught and research.
Mode of study
Students are divided into two modes of study: Full-time, including programmes with a sandwich placement, and Part-time, including distance learning.
Fee status
Tuition fees are charged at two different rates: home and overseas. UK and EU students are eligible to pay home fees. All other students pay overseas fees. Thirty students domiciled in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, are included in the overseas category, to comply with the practice of the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).
Faculties
There are four Faculty-level bodies within the University: the Faculty of Engineering & Design, the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences, the School of Management and the Faculty of Science. Cross-faculty programmes are shown separately.
Foundation Degree, sub-degree and honours year study
The undergraduate category includes 186 students on Foundation Degree/sub-degree/honours year programmes at the University’s Bath campus and in local partner colleges in the region. These students appear in the Faculty totals according to their administrative locations within the University.
