A-level
Where applicants are applying for science and related degrees, this is likely to be made explicit in the offers you will receive.

We require grades AAA-AAB, including a minimum of grades AA in Chemistry and one of Biology, Physics and Mathematics (the Core Sciences). Applicants predicted/who have achieved a B in their third A level will receive an offer of AAB, while those predicted/who have achieved an A or A will be eligible for an offer of AAA.

If your are taking Chemistry and no other Core Science subject, we can consider you for an AAA offer if you are also sitting an A Level in Geography, Psychology, Environmental Studies or Physical Education in place of the second Core Science.
