I was wondering whether these GCSE grades are good, and whether I could go into higher education with these grades...

Maths: A
Business Studies: A
ICT: A
Geography: A
Science Double: BB
Design Tec: B
English lang+Lit: CC
Spanish: C

Thanks .

Yep, they only care about English and Maths most of the time. I'd pay for your A in Maths ha ha

[BigV]

Yes, but you also require level 3 qualifications (i.e. A-level, BTEC National, any recognised alternative).

You asked this on another section and I already answered. The answer won't magically change because you posted here. You have 10 A*-C grades, quite above the national average and universities generally do not care about your GCSEs as long as you have an A-C in English/Maths unless you're applying to somewhere like Oxbridge or Durham and/or a highly competitive course such as Medicine, Law, VetMed, Dentistry, etc. where they have to find different ways to determine who's "good" and who's the "best".

It's your performance at Level 3 which will get you into uni, not your GCSEs.

Ok, thanks people! Looks like I'll have to knuckle down in sixth form!

[Hevinha]

As long as they're above C grades it doesn't matter!

Seeing as you've been given some answers, I thought I'd just ask: is there a particular reason you posted this in the mature student forum?

[Chunghy]

I posted it in this forum because obviously seeing as your 'mature' you will know more and be more helpful then posting is anywhere else.

Those Grades are fine Chunghy but as Big V has pointed out to u you would also require a Level 3 qualification alongside it like a BTEC National diploma.A levels or even a Access to He diploma.GCSES alone arnt sufficient these days u always need as i am sure u are aware Chunghy level 3 quals as well

LOL......

I got terrible GCSEs and got into A-Levels and offers from highly respected unis, even with a 'soft' A-Level .

It's totally possible!
