Dermatology is a specialism in medicine, you'd have to apply to medicine then choose to specialise in dermatology so, Biology and Chemistry ARE REQUIRED! both will most likely be needed at minimum grades AA or A*A

thank you, thats unfortunate for me lol i kind of dislike bio but i lOVVEEE chem! also i see you everywhere your famous now lol
Hi there,

To do Dermatology you will need to do Medicine. The A-Levels required for this is Biology and Chemistry at grades A*. Your third subject can be anything but if you are aiming for Cambridge, do take Math A-Level.

Do you have any idea of which universities you may be considering? You will also need to take the BMAT/UKAT which is the Medicine admissions test. Each university tells you which one they would like but I would take both to keep your options open.
