Students taking Medicine at Plymouth Uni with 'Okay' GCSE's with no Chem A-level?

I was wondering if anyone managed to get into Plymouth University with 'okay' GCSE's? If so then what did you get for your GCSE's and for your A-levels?

I'm asking so I roughly get the gist of the kind of students Plymouth University accepts and if I'm capable of being accepted myself

Hi f0r6et,

As a standard entry requirement we require Maths and English GCSE at a Grade C/4 or above – we may also require others, but this is dependent on which course you are interested in applying for. Most applicants will also need a level 3 qualification. I hope this helps!

Hi both,

Apologies for this! The title cut off

On our website we say that:

Applicants need to achieve 7 GCSE passes at grades A-C/9-4 which must include English language, mathematics and either GCSE double award science or two from single award chemistry, biology, or physics.

The typical offer is A*AA – AAB at GCE A-level which must include an A grade in biology and one further science from chemistry, physics, maths, and psychology. Your third GCE A level can be from any subject area including the humanities, languages, music, sport, science and the social sciences.

So basically, it won't matter that you don't take Chemistry A-level as long as you take Maths/Physics/Psychology

We do also have BMBS Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery with Foundation Year. This offers you a foundation entry route onto the medicine course - it is a year longer than the traditional route, however it does require a lower tariff. This tariff is:




Let me know if you have any further questions
