Any chances getting into UCL biomedical degree?

Hi, I got my predicted grades AAA*, bio chemistry and Russian respectively ( I am Russian ) is there any point in applying for UCL biomed without maths? Which courses would you recommend me to apply in London in Russel uni which have IBMS accreditation?

It's only a preferred subject, so the answer is yes. However whether that means the chances are slim it is impossible to say. You'd be best to ask them directly whether if would significantly hamper an application.

A potentially bigger issue would be having A-level Russian if you are a native speaker of Russian - sometimes unis don't consider A-levels in your native language if you are fluent in that language. That said, since it's somewhat hard to prove it may be less of an issue unless you are applying from Russia and did your schooling there (or another Russian speaking country).

I doubt not having maths will make a huge difference for biomedical sciences - something like biochemistry it might be more of an issue for, but BMS likely not. Note that I don't think the UCL course is IBMS accredited if I recall correctly...

Native language subjects shouldn't be an issue any more, but I would always check before applying, especially if it was completed in a different sitting.
