A-level
A*A*A* including A* in Mathematics, and minimum of one Science subject in the remaining A-Levels at A*.
This should include Mathematics with a significant pure element (the Use of Mathematics or Core Mathematics does not satisfy this requirement).
Science subjects include Computer Science, Further Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
Practical skills are a crucial part of science education and therefore there will be a requirement to pass the practical element of any Science A-Level taken. Where applicants are applying for science and related degrees, this is likely to be made explicit in the offers you will receive.
Contextual offer
