General Eligibility

A-level: AAA including Chemistry or Biology. Physics or Maths must also be offered if Chemistry is not taken.

We welcome general studies and critical thinking as a fourth A2, but they do not typically form part of our offer. Certain combinations are not acceptable, specifically:

• Chemistry with Biology and Human biology

• Chemistry with Mathematics and Further Mathematics

EPQs are not considered within our scoring.

Those taking a fourth A2 subject will not be at an advantage to those taking three. We do not rate A* as being higher than A, so we will not accept A*A*B instead of AAA.

Applications from applicants re-sitting exams are only likely to be successful in exceptional circumstances. Well-supported documentary evidence of any extenuating circumstances is required. Applications will not normally be considered from those undertaking a third attempt at an academic entry qualification.

These are the minimum entry requirements for Leeds. Please be aware that admission is highly competitive and the majority of applicants will have qualifications well above this standard.

Part Time Work Details
