Evidence of excellent attainment in general and advanced secondary education: A levels taken in one sitting after a 2 year period of study, AAA, to include Chemistry together with either Biology, Physics or Mathematics and a third academic subject. The Advanced Welsh Baccalaureate Skills Challenge Certificate is accepted in lieu of a third academic subject. Alternatively, A*AB also accepted but the A* A grades must include Chemistry together with either Biology, Physics or Maths; and a B grade required in the third academic subject. The Advanced Welsh Baccalaureate Skills Challenge Certificate is accepted in lieu of a third academic subject. Applicants with a minimum of 12 points at GCSE may be considered if, at the time of application, they have achieved AAA or A*AB (as defined above). GCSEs in nine subjects attained by the end of Year 11 which must include: English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Core & Additional Science is an acceptable alternative to the three individual sciences. Minimum of grade B (score 6) required in core subjects. A minimum score of 15 points from the best 9 GCSEs or equivalents. Points awarded as GCSE (A*/A/7/8/9) 2 points, GCSE (B/6) 1 point and BTEC (Non-Science) Level 2 and OCR awards (Distinction*/Distinction) 2 points, (Merit) 1 point. Two points is the maximum score awarded in each subject area. (e.g. Only one of Maths and Further Maths). Two points is the maximum score awarded for Dual Award GCSEs except for Dual Science for which up to 4 points may be awarded. Triple science can achieve a maximum of 6 points. Short course GCSEs will at most receive half the points of a full GCSE but two short courses can be offered in place of a full GCSE. No more than two Level 2 BTEC qualifications or OCR awards will be considered as part of the 9 GCSEs/equivalents. These cannot be used as replacements for English Language, Maths and Science subjects. i.e. a minimum of 7 full GCSEs required. The selection procedure at Liverpool is a competitive process. The indicative criteria is the usual minimum required. Invitation to interview is highly competitive and dependant on UCAT performance and academic success (both achieved and predicted). Non-academic attributes will be assessed at interview. The threshold for progressing through each stage varies from year to year depending upon the quality and quantity of applications that year. No candidate will be made an offer without interview. For applicants from England: Where a science has been taken at A level (Chemistry, Biology or Physics), a pass in the Science practical of each subject will be required. Applicants must complete the UCAT by the appropriate closing date for year of entry.
