The Student Room Group

I’m really interested in studying medicine but…

As the title already says, I’m really intrigued by medicine and I am determined in to trying to study it when i’m older however, there are a few things preventing me from doing so.


1. I am currently in single award science, and I don’t know whether there are any schools near by who would accept me for A-level sciences :frown: (I live in Northern Ireland)

2. I need my A-level sciences in order to study medicine at a university.

Any thoughts or recommendations on what I should do? I really really need help. Asap. As I am actually finishing up my GCSES very soon, I’m currently taking all higher tier sciences in single award in hopes I come out of those exams with an ‘A’ equivalent! I am also taking higher tier maths not further maths GCSE.
