Animal Science

A,B,B

ABB including Biology and preferably another science subject (from Chemistry, Mathematics, Geography, Physics, PE, Psychology). General Studies excluded. Chemistry is preferred at A/AS level but not essential. For Biology, Chemistry and Physics A levels, we require a pass in the practical element. GCSE Mathematics grade B or 5 required if not offered at A/AS level.

A,A,B,B,B

AABBB including Biology and preferably another science subject (from Chemistry, Mathematics, Geography, Physics, PE, Psychology). Advanced Higher Biology preferred. Chemistry desirable at Higher Grade but not essential. Mathematics required at National 5, minimum grade B (or grade 2 Standard Grade or Intermediate 2 equivalent) if not offered at Higher Grade. Where a candidate bypasses the assessment for National 5 qualifications, a minimum of grade C in the Higher in Maths is required. Scottish qualifications can be taken in more than one sitting.

D:30,M:15

30 level 3 credits at Distinction and 15 level 3 credits at Merit, to include at least 15 level 3 credits in Biology/related (e.g. biochemistry). Credits in mathematical studies and/or quantitative methods are also required.

32

32 points overall including Biology at Higher Level grade 6. Chemistry preferred at Higher Level but not essential. Mathematics or Mathematical Studies and Chemistry required at Standard Level grade 5 if not offered at Higher Level.

D*DD

D*DD in a science-related subject such as Animal Management, Equine Management or Agriculture within which there are substantial Biology and Chemistry units. Students are asked to outline in their personal statement exactly which modules they have taken as part of the Extended Diploma. Evidence of numeracy skills required, either GCSE Mathematics (grade B or 5) or Key Skills Level 2 Application of Number taken within the Extended Diploma.

H1,H2,H2,H3,H3

H1H2H2H3H3 to include Biology and another science subject (from Chemistry, Mathematics, Geography, Physics, PE, Psychology). Chemistry preferred. Students need to have a reasonable ability in Maths.

D3,M2,M2

D3 M2 M2 in Principal Subjects including Biology and preferably another science subject (from Chemistry, Mathematics, Geography, Physics, PE, Psychology). Chemistry is preferred but not essential. GCSE Mathematics grade B or 5 required if not offered at a higher level.

We welcome applications from students offering an Extended Project and value the skills of research and independent learning that it is designed to develop. If you offer an Extended Project, it will be taken into account as part of your application profile, but we will not usually include it in offer conditions for this degree programme.
