Dont Meet Entry Requirments for Uni

Hi, i am currently looking around for universities to apply to this year as i am in year 13, i am looking to study Physiotherapy.
I contacted Northumbria University to ask what the minimum entry requiments are, they said that my subjects i am currently studying are acceptable as long as i meet my predicted grades.

However, they also said i need 6 GCSEs at B, i do not have this and wanted to ask if there was a way to maybe get around this and get onto the course??

Unlikely. It's a very competitive course and they don't have to be kind to anyone. You will probably need to retake some GCSEs this year.

You can make all the excuses you like, but it won't change the fact that they want all Bs. Try calling them but don't expect them to make an exception for you.
