I have only realised during this quarantine that I’m really interested in pursuing a medicine degree at QUB. However, their entry requirements state that I must have done physics gcse and unfortunately I haven’t done it as a subject for gcse. I have done biology, chemistry, maths and further maths (which I am going to do for a level) but I’m quite annoyed at myself for not doing physics. Is there any chance that I could still get in? If not, is it wise to apply to do a physics gcse after I do my a levels or is my idea of doing medicine unrealistic?

Did you contact the university? call the university, call a few of them and check I think the entry requirement is different from one university to another also you have good maths subject here, further maths is a strong subject, I think you may have a chance without Taking GCSE Physics.

I am not British btw. How is it possible that you didn't study Physics GCSE at school? Is it optional in the UK to study science at GCSE or not?

Sorry I can't answer your question but I am writing this message as I have a query myself regarding this

In private schools you don't necessarily have to do all three sciences like this and it is possible to just take any 3 sciences separately in any combination.

I don't think it would be a huge deal as long as your other grades meet the entry requirements and past attainment is strong. Just contact the admissions team and speak to them before you apply.

Your idea of doing medicine isn't unrealistic as you are clearly doing well in the most key subjects being Maths, Chemistry and Biology. If there is any way you can take gcse physics alongside your a levels that is probably a good idea (maybe in place of further maths). You can also look up other universities entry requirements as they may not require gcse physics for medicine. You also have plenty of time now before you start a levels to study for gcse physics independently so definitely look into your options! Feel free to message me if you need any resources for self studying gcse physics.
