      Hi babybel. if you mean a psychiatrist, then yes because you have to study medicine.

      If you mean a physiotherapist then yes too. see below for an example: Typical Entry:
      Scottish Higher and Irish Leaving Certificate: AABBB
      A Level: AAB

      Special:
      Scottish Higher: English, and 2 of Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics. Applicants should normally have 245 UCAS Tariff points at first sitting. A Level: 2 of the following: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology. Irish Leaving Certificate (Hons): Subject profile as for Scottish Higher

      The names for these 2 jobs are quite similar. Others are also similar. if I’ve got the wrong job let me know and I’ll correct this answer.

      Hi babybel,

      I think the computer mixed up your letters a bit – not sure whether this is a psychiatrist, physicist or physiotherapist!

      In each case, good grades in science will help (especially if you want to be a physicist!)
