If it doesn't say specifically about BTEC's then I would get in touch with the uni directly by emailing or ringing the admissions tutor. I know that 2 of my friends unless specifically mentioned asked on this UCAS convention thing about BTEC's.

Well Shockley i have good news for you lol it seems that uni accepts UCAS traffic schemes, so if you can get over 280 points you should be fine,

We are pleased to accept all qualifications included in the UCAS tariff points system (e.g. International Baccalaureate, key skills). More information about our entry requirements.

if you go on to the link it says that BTEC are accept, and if you still have doubt that you cant get in send them email to see if they will accpet your qulifactions to be on the safe side

however i wouldn't think your teach would mention a uni that he didn't think would accept the btec
