Med School Entry requirements ROYAL FREE AND UCL Required standard of Mathematics and English Language All candidates must have GCSE or O-level at grade B or above in English Language and
Mathematics. GCE A-levels Students are expected to take three A-levels and one additional AS-level. These courses
should be completed within two years (we do not consider re-sit students). Chemistry must be studied at A-level. Biology must be studied at either A or AS-level. A
candidate can have a free choice of other AS/A-level subjects, with the following exceptions: General Studies A-level is acceptable only as an alternative to the additional AS-level. We do not wish to discourage applicants who are studying two mathematical subjects at A-
level, but such applicants should be aware that they will need to take four A-levels, as offers will only include one of the Maths subjects amongst the three A-level combination. For example, Chemistry, Mathematics, Further Mathematics A-levels and AS-level Biology would not be acceptable.
Please note that some preference will be given to applicants who, in addition to Chemistry and Biology, offer a contrasting subject at A or AS-level. In this context the definition of a contrasting subject is one outside the traditional science subjects of Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Physics. For example, a foreign language, English literature, history, geography, art, music, critical thinking, religious studies, design and technology etc.
Our standard conditional offer is grades AAB at A-level and a pass in an additional AS-level. The reference on the UCAS application must list both the A-level and the additional AS-level grade predictions in order for the candidate to be considered further.
