Hey there,
It is great to hear that you are interested in studying Nursing or Physiotherapy. With your A-levels in Psychology, Biology, and Chemistry, those are a strong combination for both courses at London South Bank University (LSBU).

For BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing, LSBU typically requires:

•

112 UCAS points

•

Including a minimum of two A-levels, with one preferably in a health or science-related subject (Biology or Chemistry is perfect for this!)

•

Plus GCSEs at grade 4/C or above in English Language and Maths

•

For BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy, the entry requirements are a bit more competitive:

•

128 UCAS points

•

With one A-level in Biology or Human Biology

•

Plus GCSEs at grade 4/C or above in English Language, Maths, and Science

•

Your A-level choices meet the subject expectations, especially with Biology and Chemistry in there. Both courses are HCPC approved and include practical placements from the first year. LSBU has excellent simulation facilities and strong links with NHS trusts across London, giving you hands-on experience in real clinical settings.

I hope that helps and please do keep an eye on our website, as our October Open Day will be live soon. It’s a great chance to visit the campus, meet lecturers, and explore your course options.
