Didn't take AS History but now want to study History at uni - options??

So because of my terrible GCSE History teacher, I presumed AS History would be just as bad so I didn't take it. Unfortunately, it's taken me a whole year to realise that I love History so now I'd like to study it at uni. Most of them ask for A level History though but I've heard some places don't ask for it - has anyone got any suggestions on what I should do or unis that don't ask for it?? Thanks!
