My brother is currently studying Medicine. He did not get the grades needed at A level so he chose a different degree and got a BSc in Life Sciences Applicable to Medicine. He then applied to do Postgraduate Degree in Medicine and because it was Postgraduate he just needed a 2:1 in his first degree, they didn't even look at his A levels.
Also the postgraduate course is only 4 years instead of 5

The best way to find out what you will need is to look at Uni websites, UCAS is also a big help. On the websites it gives the options for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses so you can look at what you need for each of them.

If you have any more questions I will be happy to help. I have jut sent off my UCAS application a few weeks ago, I have applied for Radiography not medicine but I have been through the medicine process with my brother.
