If they said respectfully after I’d assume it would have to be in that order… if they didn’t I’d contact admissions just to make sure because it would depend on your subject.. surely if you applied for something more chem based you’d need the A in chem but if you applied for something more bio based then it would be the opposite. I’d double heck by contacting the admissions of the uni, just to be sure

it says” Must include grade A and B in Chemistry and one from Biology, Mathematics or Physics (in any order) so it is in any order right?

No worries. If you think about it, the "in any order" bit wouldn't actually be needed in that case, thery would just write it as:

"Must include grade A in Chemistry and B in either Biology, Mathematics or Physics"
