If a candidate is not taking Advanced Higher Physics, we would consider candidates offering Advanced Higher Mathematics AND one of Biology, Chemistry, Computing Science, Design and Manufacture, Engineering Science or Mathematics of Mechanics on a case-by-case basis. Candidates must have Higher Mathematics and Physics at grade B or above if either of these subjects are not taken at Advanced Higher. Access to HE DiplomaD:45,M:0,P:0 45 level 3 credits at distinction including Mathematical Studies and Physics. A Newcastle University Mathematics and Statistics pre-entry course may also be required. International Baccalaureate Diploma ProgrammePearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)Normally considered for entry to the Physics with Foundation year only. Leaving Certificate - Higher Level (Ireland) (first awarded in 2017)Considered for entry to the Physics with Foundation Year courses only. Cambridge International Pre-U Certificate - PrincipalA levelA,A,B AAB including Mathematics and Physics, excluding General Studies and Critical Thinking, OR ABB including Mathematics and Physics if a third A level is from: Further Maths, Biology, Chemistry, English Literature, Geography, History and Modern/Classical Languages or grade 2 in any STEP paper. For Biology, Chemistry and Physics A Levels, we require a pass in the practical element where offered. Equivalent A level grades will be considered on a case-by-case basis. |
