Details
We require grades AAA-AAB, including grades AA in Chemistry, and one of Biology, Physics or Mathematics (the Core Sciences). Applicants predicted/who have achieved a B in their third A level will receive an offer of AAB, while those predicted/who have achieved an A or A* will be eligible for an offer of AAA. If you are taking Chemistry and no other Core Science subjects, we can consider you for an AAA offer if you are also sitting an A level in at least one of Geography, Psychology, Environmental Studies or Physical Education in place of the second Core Science. Subjects with overlapping content are not normally considered as separate A-levels; Further Mathematics is not considered alongside Mathematics and Human Biology is not considered alongside Biology. We believe that practical skills in the sciences are integral to a candidate's understanding and appreciation of these subjects. Therefore we encourage all applicants to undertake any practical skills assessment if it is available in their qualification; this is not required for applicants applying with achieved A levels from 2022. Contextual offer: AAB-ABC (including specific subjects). Typical WP++ Contextual offer: ABB-ABD (including specific subjects).
Scottish Advanced Highers are normally required in one of the following combinations: three Advanced Highers with grades AAA-BBB including Chemistry and another science subject, normally Biology ortwo Advanced Highers with grades AA-BB in Chemistry and another science subject, normally Biology, plus two additional Highers with grades AA-BB.Students with Highers only with grades AAAAA-AABBB may be considered for the Foundation Year.English Language and Mathematics not taken at Higher/Advanced Higher must have been achieved at SCQF level 5 (minimum National 5 grade C/Intermediate 2 grade C/Standard Grade Credit level grade 3).If you require further clarification about the acceptability of this qualification please contact ug.biosciences@manchester.ac.uk

Each application is considered individually. Applicants should contact the Admissions Office to discuss their particular circumstances.In general, we require 60 credits overall with 45 graded credits at Level 3, which must include a minimum of 15 credits in Biology and 15 credits in Chemistry. All 45 graded credits must be at Distinction grade.We may also consider applications from applicants whose course has allowed only 12 credits at Level 3 in Biology, with the remaining three credits at Level 3 with Distinction in Chemistry, Physics or Mathematics.
AS level results are not considered as part of the standard admissions process at The University of Manchester.
We consider applicants offering Pre-U Principal Subjects, or a mix of Pre-U and A-level subjects, provided a minimum of three distinct subjects overall is taken.We require D2, D3, D3 to D3, M1, M1 in the Cambridge Pre-U, including Chemistry and one of Biology, Physics and Mathematics (the Core Sciences). You must have a D2 or D3 in one of the Core Science subjects.We will accept D3 in Geography, Psychology, Environmental Studies or Physical Education in place of the second Core Science, provided Chemistry is at D2 or D3.The University welcomes and recognises the value of the Cambridge Pre-U Global Perspectives and Research (GPR) and the opportunities it provides for applicants to develop independent study and research skills. However, the qualification will not form part of your offer conditions.For further details, please contact ug.biosciences@manchester.ac.uk
The University recognises the benefits of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and the opportunities it provides for applicants to develop independent study and research skills. Although the Extended Project will not be included in the conditions of your offer, we strongly encourage you to provide information about the EPQ in your personal statement and at interview (if applicable). A number of our academic Schools may also choose to take your performance in the EPQ into account should places be available in August for applicants who narrowly miss the entry grades for their chosen course.
36-34 points overall with 6, 6, 6 to 6, 5, 5 at Higher Level including Chemistry and another science subject, normally Biology.
We consider all the Cambridge Level 3 Technicals (except the Cambridge Level 3 Technical Certificate) with grade D or above for entry when it is taken with two science A-levels (minimum AB required) including Chemistry.
