EPQ with A-levels: BBC + EPQ at grade B. Two AS-levels considered in place of one A-level. General Studies accepted.
This degree will enhance your understanding of the diverse societies of the past through the traces they have left in the form of material objects and texts. We will cover topics ranging from as far back as human evolution and the first use of stone tools 2.6 million years ago through to the present day.
EPQ with A-levels: BBB + EPQ at grade B. Two AS-levels considered in place of one A level. General Studies and Critical Thinking not accepted. GCSE Mathematics at grade B required.
The Banking and Finance BA combines the study of modern economics with banking and finance. You will be introduced to a broad range of economic subjects including banking, financial intermediation, asset and liability management, financial decision making, financial markets and institutions, and accounting. This wide range of topics will give you an in-depth understanding of the way that organisations and financial systems work.

A-levels: typical offer AAB/ABB, normally including at least two relevant science subjects from Biology (preferred), Chemistry, Physics or Maths. We may consider two AS-levels in place of one A2-level. General Studies not accepted.
The basic principle of biochemistry is that the processes of living things are ultimately explicable in terms of the properties and interactions of the molecules from which they are made. Biochemists study such processes in all types of organisms - and how errors in these processes can cause disease. This leads to a broad understanding of fundamental biological processes, the development of analytical skills and experience in handling complex information.

Genetics pervades many aspects of society including human health, food production, environmental quality, species conservation, ethics and law. You will learn how genetic engineering, molecular and developmental genetics, human genetics and evolutionary genetics all contribute to a greater understanding of the discipline. You will gain a balanced understanding of modern genetics focusing on the organisation, inheritance, expression and evolution of genes in organisms ranging from bacteria to man.

Microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa) play a crucial role in many of the Earth's physical and biological processes; they help to purify our waste water and clean up pollution. Mankind has used them for thousands of years in the production of foods and drinks but other types can cause new devastating diseases. Microorganisms are the oldest inhabitants of the Earth, yet we have only discovered a small fraction of all the microbes that exist.
