Further information
| Resits accepted? | We permit GCSE resits. If you are resitting any GCSEs at the point of application, we require you to list it as a pending qualification on your UCAS form. Please note, if you have scored lower in your resit(s) this will be the result we use to assess your application. A Level resits are permitted though applicants may only re-sit one of either Year 12 or Year 13. Where A-levels have been attempted in Year 13, applicants are expected to have obtained a minimum of grade B in each subject at the first sitting for the re-sit grades to be considered. All re-sitting applicants are required to achieve Grades A*AA in the A-level subjects specified above, and the A* is expected to be achieved in the final examinations in either of the two required sciences. Please note that we will use your resit grade as your final grade to consider your application. |
