We require grades AAABB together with grade A in Advanced Higher in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics or Psychology. If you have not studied National 5 qualifications, we would expect you to have studied English and Mathematics at Higher level.

For Access to Higher Education courses, an overall of 60 credits are required with 45 at Level 3 and all 45 credits must be graded at Distinction. 15 credits must be in a science subject. You may be asked to provide a sample of previous coursework and/or to attend an interview if it is thought that further information is required on your application. You should also have a good set of GCSEs (minimum of five subjects) with English Language and Mathematics at Grade B/6, or equivalent. Students educated up to GCSE level who have only taken a one-year Access course will not normally be accepted.

The University recognises the benefits of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and the opportunities it provides for applicants to develop independent study and research skills. Although the Extended Project will not be included in the conditions of your offer, we strongly encourage you to provide information about the EPQ in your personal statement and at interview. A number of our academic Schools may also choose to take your performance in the EPQ into account should places be available in August for applicants who narrowly miss the entry grades for their chosen course.
