What access to HE do I need?

Hi, I need to do an access course to allow me to get onto the vet med course with keele.

I sent them a course I was planning on doing which is science so it’s got biology chemistry and physics. I asked if this is course would be the right one and they replied saying “The entry requirements for the degree are below, but you can also locate them here.
Pass with 45 level 3 credits at Distinction. Diplomas must be science based and include:
A minimum of 15 level 3 credits in Biology or Chemistry
An additional 15 level 3 credits in a second science subject”

Would you say the science course that has all 3 subjects is the correct one, I’m not really sure what this means.

The provider of the Access course should give you the breakdown of credits per subject.

Access courses have 60 credits. 45 are graded and 15 are ungraded. For the requirements you listed, your Access course would need to have at least 15 credits in Biology or Chemistry. If it has 15 credits in Physics, then that's a second science subject, right? You'd need to get a Distinction in every graded unit (except the ungraded which are either achieved or unachieved).

Do you have a link for the Access course you're looking at doing?
