A-level
A*AA including A* in Mathematics or Further Mathematics A-level.
Further Mathematics is preferred but not essential. When the Further Maths A-level is taken it will be included in the offer.
If you do not have the required grades or subjects you may want to consider our integrated foundation year .
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.
Applicants taking A-levels are normally expected to offer three full A-levels. If you’re taking more than three A-levels, any offer will be based on three A-levels, and any additional A-levels won’t be included in your offer. Any offer will normally be based on three A-levels taken in the same sitting and based on your qualification portfolio. Your offer will stipulate which subjects and the grades required.
