Hey there , I'm guessing your already in college and starting to get ready for your UCAS application for the 2025/26 academic year . Whether that's the case or not just be aware that universities can have slightly different entry requirements but on average you will need at least one of your level 3 qualifications to be a science subject such ad Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Applied Sciences.
At DMU specifically the entrance requirements are as follows :
1.) A minimum of 112 UCAS points/(120 UCAS points for MSci applicants), from at least two A levels with a science subject (from Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Applied Sciences) at grade C or above
or
2.) BTEC Extended Diploma in Science BTEC DMM/(DDM for MSci applicants)
BTEC National Diploma in Science BTEC - DMM/(DDM for MSci applicants)
Alternative qualification
3.) Pass QAA Accredited AHE with 112 UCAS points/(120 UCAS points for MSci applicants) with at least 15 level 3 credits at distinction and 30 level 3 credits at merit.
Based on this you should be fine with the subjects you have provided you achieve grades that meet the UCAS point requirements.

I hope this helps and if anyone else knows any other information from their university please pop it below .
