Entry requirements
We amended an error on this course page relating to the BTEC entry requirements.
Previous content:
We welcome applications from students taking BTECs as long as essential subject requirements are met. We are happy to consider applicants who are studying BTECs alongside A Level Chemistry and Biology. We are also happy to consider applicants who have taken the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Applied Science on an individual basis.

Modules
We have removed the Cell Biology of Neurons module from the list of Year One modules - not currently a core module for this degree.
15th September 2022
Following University approval, a new core module has been added to the 'Year One' section, on the 'Modules' tab:
Year One
Cell Biology of Neurons
This module will cover the cell biology of neurons and glial cells of the nervous system. You will learn about the basic structure and functions of these cells and the processes that give rise to them (neurogenesis), allow them to migrate to their correct location, to establish synaptic and other contacts. You will also learn about how these processes can go wrong and give rise to neurodevelopmental conditions.
8th August 2022
Following University approval, we have made changes to the A level, IB standard and contextual, and BTEC offers for this course on the ‘Entry requirements’ tab:
Previous content:
A level typical offer
AAB to include Biology, or ABB to include Biology and one of the following: Chemistry, Maths, Physics, Applied Science, Environmental Science, Statistics, Geology or Geography.
A level additional information
You must also achieve a pass in the science practical assessment (if applicable).
A level contextual offer
We welcome applications from candidates who meet the contextual eligibility criteria and whose predicted grades are close to, or slightly below, the contextual offer level. The typical contextual offer is BBB including Biology and one other Science or ABB including Biology. See if you're eligible.
IB typical offer
36 to include 5 in Higher Level Biology, or 34 to include 5 in Higher Level Biology and 5 in Higher Level Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Geography.
IB contextual offer
We welcome applications from candidates who meet the contextual eligibility criteria and whose predicted grades are close to, or slightly below, the contextual offer level. The typical contextual offer is 32 including 5 at Higher Level in Biology and a second science. See if you're eligible.
BTEC
We welcome applications from students taking BTECs as long as essential subject requirements are met.
Revised content:
A level typical offer
AAB including Biology, or ABB including Biology and one of the following: Chemistry, Maths, Physics, Environmental Science, Statistics, Geology or Geography.
A level additional information
Applicants who are not taking Chemistry at A Level must have grade B/6 in GCSE Chemistry or grades BB/66 in GCSE Combined Science. You must also achieve a pass in the science practical assessment of your A Levels (if applicable).
A level contextual offer
We welcome applications from candidates who meet the contextual eligibility criteria and whose predicted grades are close to, or slightly below, the contextual offer level. The typical contextual offer is ABB including Biology, or BBB including Biology and one of the following: Chemistry, Maths, Physics, Environmental Science, Statistics, Geology or Geography. See if you're eligible.
IB typical offer
34 to include 5 in Higher Level Biology, or 32 to include 5 in Higher Level Biology and 5 in Higher Level Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Geography.
IB additional information
Applicants who are not taking Higher Level or Standard Level Chemistry must have grade B/6 in GCSE Chemistry or grades BB/66 in GCSE Combined Science. Alternatively, we can consider Science in the IB Middle Years Programme.
IB contextual offer
We welcome applications from candidates who meet the contextual eligibility criteria and whose predicted grades are close to, or slightly below, the contextual offer level. The typical contextual offer is 32 including 5 in Higher Level Biology, or 30 including 5 in Higher Level Biology and 5 in Higher Level Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Geography. See if you're eligible.
