GANFYD will know but I hope she wouldn't just hand the information to you on a plate.
Learn how to research - it's the basic of a Uni student.

Have you looked on their website?! Surely the information is there. Surely. If it's not specified then it's not required.

I don't think the MBBS Admissions Policy for 2020 is out yet
Try here, they explain it more clearly, maybe;

As for the GCSE's, it says nothing about them apart from "Once the academic criteria have been met, academic achievement is not considered further in subsequent parts of the application process e.g. additional A levels or A* results or additional GCSE results are not considered"

It is on their website, but I also agree it is maybe not phrased as clearly as it should be.

Hello- I've tried doing that. All it says is that for A-levels, they require: "AAA excluding General Studies, Use of Mathematics, World Development, Communication and Culture and Critical Thinking. For Biology, Chemistry and Physics A levels, we require a pass in the practical element.". And I'm quite confused in terms of how they worded it. Like, do I need to have all biology, chemistry and physics A-levels? Or can I have 1 out of the 3?

You don't need any of biology, chemistry or physics but if you do have them, you must have passed the practical element.
That is the academic requirement.
And you need nothing in addition to this.
That is what it says. it is just that people do not believe it as it is nothing like the minimum requirements of other med schools

It means what it says. You need 3 A levels at AAA not including the subjects mentioned.

You can do any of the sciences or maths for the 3xA grades just not the general course Just Maths which is an add on general subject. They don't accept 2 x maths subjects at A Level either.

And why I feel they should be much clearer about it. Not because it does not mean what it says on the tin or the info isn't there, but because people are going to think the tin must be missing something!!

Which bit are you finding confusing? The combination mentioned above would be fine as long as you pass the practical element of any exam that contains one

You can have your AAA in any three A-level subjects in any combination you would like except the ones mentioned (and two different maths, two different biologies, etc)

Yes exactly. I have read the website and phoned up. Going to open day this week so will ask. Psychology is allowed at some unis such as Leicester but you will have to phone admisdions to check this at Newcastle . Usual subjects are Maths, Chemistry, Biology or instead of Maths, Physics. Just phone admissions up there.

There is no specific requirement at any other university except Cambridge for a third science subject, so usual advice to keep the most options open is to study chemistry, biology and any third academic subject you think you can get at least an A in

Hey Voxxia,
All the information is on our website here https://www.ncl.ac.uk/undergraduate/...ryrequirements, we no longer need chemistry or biology to apply to medicine at Newcastle University
If you have anymore questions let me know and I'll get back to you.
Cheers,

Hi, need a clarification. International IB student, will have the academic requirements, yet to get the predicted score though. Low UCAT, 2400, band 3. Good in sports. Compete at National levels in swimming. Remember reading that, for sports persons, Newcastle might consider lowering the grade. It is mentioned in the admission process section. Can I opt for Newcastle as one of my choices?
