AAA, including including one or more of: Psychology, Biology, Human Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Statistics, Mathematics, Further Maths, Applied Science. We accept only one performance-based A-level (eg photography, drama, art/design, music or media studies). Practical skills are a crucial part of science education and therefore 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 offer 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, these won’t be included in your offer. We will only make offers consisting of three A Levels.

We require successful completion of a BTEC National Extended Diploma at grades DDD alongside grade A in one of the following A-levels: Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Physics or Psychology.

For Access to Higher Education courses, an overall of 60 credits are required with 45 at Level 3 and all 45 credits must be graded at Distinction. 15 credits must be in a science subject. You may be asked to provide a sample of previous coursework and/or to attend an interview if it is thought that further information is required on your application. You should also have a good set of GCSEs (minimum of five subjects) with English Language and Mathematics at Grade B/6, or equivalent. Students educated up to GCSE level who have only taken a one-year Access course will not normally be accepted.

We require grades AAABB together with grade A in Advanced Higher in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics or Psychology. If you have not studied National 5 qualifications, we would expect you to have studied English and Mathematics at Higher level.

AS level results are not considered as part of the standard admissions process at The University of Manchester.

We require successful completion of a BTEC National Diploma at grades D*D in a science-based subject with one A-level at grade A. If the BTEC National Diploma is in a non-science subject, the A-level must be in Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Physics or Psychology.

We accept the BTEC National Foundation Diploma at grade D* in lieu of the third A-level only. It must be offered alongside 2 A-level subjects, one of which to include: Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Physics or Psychology with minimum grades AB-AA.

We accept the BTEC National Extended Certificate at grade D* in lieu of the third A-level only. It must be offered alongside 2 A-level subjects, one of which to include: Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Physics or Psychology with minimum grades AB-AA.

We require grades AAABB together with grade A in Advanced Higher in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics or Psychology. If you have not studied National 5 qualifications, we would expect you to have studied English and Mathematics at Higher level.

36 points overall. 6,6,6 in Higher Level subjects, one of which must include Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Psychology or Mathematics (AA or AI are both considered). Applicants studying the International Baccalaureate Career Related Programme (IBCP) should contact the admissions team prior to applying so that their academic profile can be considered.

The minimum grade required will normally be the same as the lowest grade listed in the A level entry requirements.

The University recognises the benefits of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and the opportunities it provides for applicants to develop independent study and research skills. Although the Extended Project will not be included in the conditions of your offer, we strongly encourage you to provide information about the EPQ in your personal statement and at interview. A number of our academic Schools may also choose to take your performance in the EPQ into account should places be available in August for applicants who narrowly miss the entry grades for their chosen course.

Applicants must demonstrate a broad general education. We normally require at least five GCSEs at minimum grade 6/B, including English Language and Mathematics. If an applicant has a grade 5 in one subject but has a grade B/6 in the other four subjects, we would still encourage them to apply.
