Meaning of this conditional offer

Hi, I understand the basic concept of conditional offers but I'm not sure what this particular one means.

I'm taking psychology, biology and Spanish A levels.

"Conditions of offer
"This offer is subject to you obtaining GCE A level Grades BBB including Biology Psychology"

Does this mean I have to get a B or above in both biology and psychology?

Or are they simply 'included' in the tarrif points - it doesn't matter in which subject I get the points as long as I get them?

Thank you for reading

I think so, my conditions were similar, I needed to get a certain grade in several subjects. What degree have you applied for?

Thank you! Are you currently in university or just finished applying?

I've applied for psychology degrees. This particular offer was from the University of Liverpool but I hope to go to Leeds.
Yes you need a B or above in both biology and psychology

I'm currently a university student - had an offer that if I firmed a particular university, my grades would be lowered to CC, have you had that?

Ah, okay. I've only had the one offer so far and nothing like that was mentioned. Thank you for letting me know! I never knew that happened. Which university was that?

It was Essex, I think universities do it to try to lure you in and get you to firm, like unconditionals. Usually its universities who either really like you or struggle to recruit students.

You need to get grade B in all three of your A levels.

I was at Essex once upon a time.

It sounds good, it was my insurance but I figured the location wasn’t great.

You specifically talking about Colchester? The campus itself is in a good location in my opinion.
