What A level subjects should I take and what grades do I need to acheive?
360 UCAS points for three A-levels, following the study four subjects to AS level. These may be achieved by obtaining AAA or A*AB at A-level. Biology and Chemistry are the most important subjects for students who wish to study medicine. All prospective BSMS students will have studied both Biology and Chemistry at A level and gain an A grade. A wide range of skills and knowledge are relevant to medicine, and a correspondingly wide range of A levels may contribute positively. A and AS levels in Psychology, Computing, Maths, English, Humanities, Law and Physics all have important advantages and skills to offer potential medical students. We do not prescribe any subjects you should take as the ‘third’ A level, with only General Studies and Critical Thinking normally being excluded from conditional offers.
