Subject summaries
The information included in the subject summaries below is from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) Graduate Outcomes survey, which captures perspectives and current status of recent graduates 15 months after leaving university. The most recent data available is for 2021/22 leavers, included in these subject summaries. Data for both 2020/21 and 2021/22 leavers have been combined for some smaller subject cohorts.

Not all programmes offered at Bath will be included. New programmes will not be included until at least the year following the first graduations, and some programmes have cohort sizes that are too small to meet publication thresholds. If similar programmes/subjects are listed, you may wish to consider these summaries as the closest likely examples.
These subject summaries are updated annually. Last update: April 2025.
