Easy to check now on likely prerequisites by looking up the details on the Uni websites.

I looked at the Univ. Leicester (my old haunt and the one closest to him) and it needs A/AS level grades AAB including maths and physics.
I don't know which Uni he is interested in but Leicester has a good reputation for physics/space science and there is a space museum in Leicester (National Space centre) plus I know all the good old pubs that were there when I was a student (if they haven't been condemned!) and as an added bonus he can go and watch Leicester City play!!
