Yes, however some Russell groups prefer triple because medicine is really competitive in those unis

Hey @bukk,

It's definitely possible, but studying Triple/three Single Award sciences often gives a better foundation for studying the subjects at A-Level (if you're interested in becoming a surgeon, you'll likely choose Biology and Chemistry as A-Level subjects).

Have a look at the entry requirements for any universities you might be interested in and see what their admission policies are regarding GCSEs.

Hope this helps,

thank you very much. I was considering university of Glasgow but my maths is very low, I am in foundation set for maths that is how terrible my maths is. Is it possible if you can help me with a list of universities, I would also do my research and give you feedbacks. I also do combined science is that also okay for medicine and surgery. Thank you very much

Thank you very much. I am having doubts of doing medicine and surgery I fear my science knowledge is not that strong.
