HELP

so basically i am doing a levels in biology and chemistry, but want to do acsses course in sciences for one year instead of part 2. i am 19 year old . in future i want to do adiology. i am confuse that wether unis will accept me or not or how the whole thing will process.

The answer I would give will heavily depend on what you mean by "adiology" - did you mean audiology or radiology; adiology is not a word. Alternatively, did you mean radiography?

Personally, I would opt to do the A Levels as opposed to the Access course. A Levels are more respected and widely accepted. Access course will teach you biology and chemistry in a way that's more akin to what they teach at uni, but the diploma is only accepted by selected English universities at best, and even then they only accept them for specific degree courses.
Radiology requires a degree in medicine, whereas audiology requires a degree in Healthcare Science specialising in Audiology. The entry requirements for both degrees are vastly different.

oh sorry i meant audiology. btw thanks for your reply

Do you still need me to do some of the research for you or are you OK?

Hello, so basically I went to career advisor and he said the same thing which you said so I changed my mind and thought to stick with A levels. but the thing is that I don't want to study chemistry in second year of a levels. my chemistry sir suggested me to drop it and pick health and social but I am confuse that what should i do now. secondly i am also scared that the unis which are doing audiology or radiography will accept health and social or not .

Here is the information on becoming an audiologist:

I am not sure whether you want to go in via NHS Practitioner Training Programme (PTP) or via the NHS Scientist Training Programme. The PTP is right after your A Levels (where you then specialise in audiology) and the STP is after your degree.

If you are looking for the degree apprenticeship (the PTP), then you would be coming across the following page for list of approved degrees for the PTP: https://nshcs.hee.nhs.uk/services/accreditation/list-of-accredited-higher-education-institutions/ptp-academic-programmes/
The universities that offer the audiology degree are:

https://www.swansea.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/health-social-care/healthcare-science-audiology-bsc-hons/#entry-requirements=is-expanded (not sure what the entry requirements are since the course is through clearing; you would need to contact their undergrad admissions in their Health and Social Care department)

Most would accept BTECs if they are in Applied Science (the only one in science as far as I know) + 2 other A Levels (one of which should be a science).
If you do an Access course, it would need to be in science (or something very closely related to science i.e. there should be at least 15 credits in one type of science). If the Access course isn't science heavy, then it's not likely that you would get in.
If you choose to drop chemistry, you're fine with just biiology. However, you would still need the equivalent of 3 A Levels to get into most degree apprenticeship courses (some will accept 2 A Levels, but why sell yourself short?).

If you choose to do the degree route (which is longer since you're doing 3 years for a degree on top before doing 3 years training), there is normally a plethora of degrees that they accept. However, according to the NHS website, the commonly accepted degrees include: physiology, pure or applied physics, engineering, biology or human biology, sports science (if there is significant scientific content). The Prospects webpage suggest something similiar: biology (or human biology), engineering, physiology, pure or applied physics, sports science (if the course has a significant amount of scientific content). In other words, you can do a random science degree in something related to physics or biology and still get in.
To my knowledge, most of these university subjects don't accept BTECs in Health and Social Care. You should be fine for a number of universities and biology related courses if you do Access in a science subject (again with at least 15 credits in biology) or a BTEC in Applied Science + A Level Biology + something else. However, you will struggle to get into engineering courses and physics courses with an Access course or without A Levels in Maths and Physics.

I don't know why they suggest you do a BTEC in Health and Social Care. Having said that, I don't work in uni admissions for any of these departments, so it pays for you to email them to check.
The key persons to check with are the careers people at the NHS: https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/send-us-your-question

Hello, Thanks for explaining everything . i just checked middelsex uni and they were asking of BBB or C in any science subject which means they are only asking about one science subject ? other subjects can be different? I am not going to do access course but as my sir gave me advice so i was thinking to drop chemistry and study health and social care biology and urdu.On the other hand i checked sunderland physcological science by which you can do audiology and their entry requirements were also okay.

i just checked middelsex uni and they were asking of BBB or C in any science subject which means they are only asking about one science subject ? other subjects can be different?
Yes. I would interpret it the same way: you would only need one science subject at A Level and the other A Levels can be in anything else
