Hi

I have just finished my final High School Year, I am not worried about my GCSE's as I am definite I excelled and got the grades I wanted.I plan on getting a degree on Software Development in UniHowever I applied for a college using UCAS, I applied for one course. Which is Software Development Level 3. This is the only course I applied for.

A few minutes ago I read somewhere that I need more then one course to get into Uni.

Are you sure? So I will be able to get into Uni and continue on Software Developing?

Well it depends. Some Uni's (usually the top ones) want an A level in Maths alongside your BTEC, but others don't. Look at some Universities and call them up to be certain. But you'll DEFINITELY get into a University with a BTEC provided it's level 3

Haha :P

Even though you could do a BTEC that's equivalent to 3 of those A levels in terms of UCAS points, they are still a strong, if not the strongest set of A levels which can get you into some of the best universities and courses in the county (considering you get excellent grades).

Hopefully. I'm starting them this coming year. I need to get an A* in GCSE MATH to do further though. I want to do ChemENG at Uni so wish me luck! :smile:
