BSc Biomedical Science
Entry requirements
GCSE: 5 GCSE subjects at grade C/4 or above are preferred and this does not necessarily need to be Mathematics and English subjects. A level: 120 points to include a minimum of three A levels, including grade B in Biology/Human Biology, and grade B in a relevant second science. General Studies excluded. Relevant second sciences: Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Applied Science, Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Geology, Geography, Psychology, and IT. BTEC: DMM – depending on the BTEC and units studied. If you hold a BTEC qualification it is vital that you provide our Admissions team with details of the exact modules you have studied as part of the BTEC. Without this information we may be unable to process your application quickly and you could experience significant delays in the progress of your application to study with us. Please explicitly state the full list of modules within your qualification at the time of application or contact Admissions for further advice. All Access courses: Pass an Access to HE Diploma with 30 Level 3 credits at distinction, including 15 Level 3 credits in Biology and 15 Level 3 credits in a second relevant science. The remaining 15 Level 3 credits must be at merit or above. T level: Merit overall preference pathways would be Health or Science. International Baccalaureate: 26 points overall to include grade 4 in Higher Level Biology and grade 4 in a second relevant science. English and Mathematics accepted within as GCSE equivalent at higher level = 4, standard level = 5.
