minimum A or AS level grade C for biology and/or chemistry (depending on
what is missing in your degree).
o Non-science degrees. Candidates must have a minimum B grade A or AS level
in chemistry or biology, plus one other science also at grade B. Accepted
science subjects are Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, and Psychology. You
