I want to do the Nursing - Learning Disability course at Uni in a few years time

I want to after that either work for a nursing home or work in a special needs department at a school.

I have Chosen A levels:

Double Health and Social Care, Communication and Culture, Music (personal hobby subject).

To get on a uni course like nursing - learning disabiltiy will my chosen A levels get me there? Or do i need a science. The only option block free is Biology?
The course i want at uni isnt an intense science nursing to become say a doctor ( i think!) so would i need science?

My predicted GCSEs are:
English lang: A
English Lit: B
Science 1 : B
Science 2: B
Maths: C
Media: A
Graphics: A
ICT: A
Music: A
Humanities: A


Thank you

Have a look at uni websites, they usually give an indication of what A'levels they like. But I think for nursing you might be expected to have Biology.

Nursing tends not to expect you to have 'hard' science subjects (although of course they will help).

However, as jami74, the best way to find out is by looking at university websites.

After a quick look, you need at least 5 A-C's at GCSE, including maths english & science. And you'll need about BBC/BCC at A level. It doesn't specify which A levels you need, but it would be helpful to do biology I'm sure.

Hey !
I've got a place to study LD nursing for this september. I did BTEC Health and Social Care, which is equivalent to 3 a levels...and not a problem I also think it's more ideal to do health and social care as opposed to normal a levels, because the work is so related to modules that are on the nursing course
