Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Can I apply to these unis without a 6 in GCSE maths?

So here’s the situation:

I sat my A Levels this year and got :
A - Sociology
C - Psychology
E - Biology

I’m resitting Psychology and Biology in 2020.

I would like to study Psychology and Neuroscience at uni but some of the unis I want to apply to want a 6 in Maths (i.e KCL, Sussex) and I only achieved a 5.

Is it worth applying to those unis?

Any advice?

They state 6, they mean 6.
Maths is a required skill for Psychology (stats work).

However, you can retake that GCSE alongside your A levels - just ask your school/college to enter you for the exam. Any offer would include that GCSE grade as an extra condition.

I think that you need to check the resit policy of your universities as well as their entry requirements. You will almost certainly have to resit maths (and biology obvs) but make sure that your universities will accept resits. If not, you may have to reconsider some of your choices :redface:
