  According to UCAS you need five GCSEs including English, maths and science. At A level you need chemistry and biology, and either physics or maths. Good luck!

  Hannah has given you the qualifications you need. You’ll also need some experience to make sure you are selected over the many others who apply. It’s really competitive, so get as much work experience with people as you can – anything that shows that you know how to communicate, show compassion, ability to ‘think on your feet’, work as part of a team will really help you as well as qualifications.

  +1 Hannah and Gill. Depending on where you live, and things like if you are the first person in your family to go to university, there are also summer schools you can do while still at school to help get some experience.
