Cambridge International Pre-U Certificate - PrincipalD3,D3,D3 D3, D3, D3 in Principal subjects to include two from Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. We consider applicants offering Pre-U Principal Subjects, or a mix of Pre-U and A-level subjects, in three distinct subjects. Candidates taking Pre-U principal subjects in conjunction with A levels are expected to achieve a combination of D3 in the Pre-U certificates and grade A at A-level in three distinct subjects. This must include two subjects from Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. 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.
