How realistic is it to get into Oxford Brookes with a BTEC?

I've recently started doing a BTEC and am wondering, how realistic are my chances of getting into an Oxford Brookes computer science course once I've finished the BTEC course.

For reference, I am doing two 90 credit courses and have done DoE Bronze, NCS, and am planning to do DoE gold. By the time my BTEC course has ended I will have easily done relevant work experience for 2 years. Should I give up on this idea or do I have a realistic chance?

It says

BTEC: National Diploma with a DDM profile, preferably in a science subject


That shoul be pretty achievable. You should check they will accept two 90 credit diplomas in place of an extended one. Obviously you know wjether one is sicence based, but I would imagine so.

Hi,

Totally realistic. I joined a couple of years ago to study economics from a BTEC course, so no reason you'd be any different.
