It is worth contacting the universities you are interested in directly to discuss what their combined entry requirement offer looks like, as it can vary case by case and sometimes isn't clear via entry requirement lists on websites. It may be that some would consider offering you a foundation year first before the 3 year degree course based on this, so worth enquiring about all options 🙂

Would you consider slightly further outside of London? Some universities do not require science at A-Level for DR. For example at CCCU, we do not require it at A-Level (but it is advantageous), we only ask for a science (and English and Maths) at GCSE grade 4 or above (and we are less than an hour from London on the high speed train!)
