Hello everyone,
I have a few questions regarding A level subjects + Access to higher education diplomas. I am 18 years old and I’ve finished my first year of a Bachelor’s degree in Dental Surgery in Egypt. I want to move to the UK and continue my degree there but most universities require 3 A levels. Before uni I took 8 IGCSEs and 4 AS level subjects which include Biology and Chemistry and the other 2 are languages. My question is, is it possible to do 3 A levels in a year, 2 of them being Biology and Chemistry? And what would my third one need to be in order to increase my chances of being accepted to study Dental surgery in the UK? Also, how difficult is A level Physics if I don’t specifically enjoy mathematics? I took IGCSE maths and got an A which I think is equivalent to a 7. Lastly, if anyone has any information on Access to higher education diplomas regarding how likely they are to be considered when applying to dentistry, please let me know. Any other useful info would be highly appreciated.
Thank you

It is possible to do 3 a levels in a year considering you already have the basics from your AS studies, but that’s not to say it will be a walk in the park, A level physics is very hard and requires a lot of work but I’m
Sure you’re very capable and won’t struggle too much.

Most dentistry schools require Chemistryand biology plus a third subject of your choosing, excluding critical thinking studies and all that stuff, your IGCSEs seems to sufficient so you’ll just have to focus on a levels.

If you want higher access information the best place to look is on the respective University’s website
