Bath is making a DMP part of 'confirmation of candidature, i.e. the 1-year progress report. There is no per-discipline exemption as such, though the DMP could be 'we don't expect to produce any data'.
I personally would oppose per-discipline exemptions, as who knows what an individual student may do. A classicist may have a database of different readings, for example, or a pure mathematician computational experiments.

Subject: DMPs for PGR students
Hello list,
I'm currently looking into how we handle PGR data at Glasgow, from our policy expectations, to what actually happens, to what would happen if all our PGR students decided to comply fully with out policies tomorrow.
Something that has been floated occasionally is making a data management plan part of the documentation that is required for annual progression. This is something that some grad schools are keener on than others. There would of course be an exemption for students in disciplines which don't have data.
I was wondering if anywhere already does this, or anything along similar lines? If so, what were the justifications used for introducing it?
Thanks and best wishes,
Mary
