Are these the right choice for Biomedicine?

I am contemplating choosing the following:

BTEC Extended Certificate in Applied Science (Biomedical Sciences)
A-level Biology

Let's say I get D*D*A* would I be considered for universities like Newcastle, Durham, Oxford, Cambridge or UCL?

Hi @LeonEwing

Currently BTEC qualifications aren't acceptable for entry to our Biomedical Sciences BSc Honours programme.

The standard A Level entry requirements for this programme are:

AAB including Biology or Chemistry, plus at least one from: Mathematics or Further Mathematics; Physics; Psychology; Biology; or Chemistry. General Studies, Use of Mathematics, World Development, Communication and Culture and Critical Thinking not accepted. GCSE Chemistry, Biology (minimum grade A or 7) or Combined Science (minimum grade A A or 7 7) required if Biology and Chemistry are not offered at A or AS Level.

Please note, this information is most relevant for 2024 entry and may be subject to changes for future years of entry.
