St. Andrews Medicine science requirements
11
Hey guys, I am just writing to ask if anyone knows more about St. Andrews' med entry requirements. On their website, they state
"Two science subjects must be sat in the same year (to include Chemistry)". Does this include a combination of Advanced Highers and Highers; for example, would AH Biology, AH Maths and H Chemistry in S6 be acceptable, or would the other sciences have to be Highers too? Just want to make sure!

“Students not taking the required sciences or mathematics in S5 may take the missing subjects in S6. Two science subjects must be sat in the same year (to include Chemistry) – either S5 or S6.”
That sounds like your combination is fine. Give them a ring to check - the admissions departments are there to help.

Thanks! I emailed the admissions team, hopefully they'll get back to me but they're obviously insanely busy right now.
