A-Levels with BTEC = University?

Hello there,

I'm not very clever. My aim is to go to University to study Theology or Religious Studies. I'm not looking to apply to a top University, I will be happy with a lower ranked, lower requirement Uni.

Do I have a chance? I'm doing a BTEC National Certificate Applied Science (Industrial and Laboratory Science) with Religious Studies and Sociology. I'm not predicted very highly, a B in RS and a C in Sociology. Is there a chance of getting in to one of the Universities with lower requirements and will they accept a BTEC. I think I might be able to get a B in Sociology to be fair.

OR.. should I drop out and do something else next year?

Thanks for taking the time to read.

With those two a-levels at the grades you are predicted, along with the btec, then yeah you would be able to go to uni somewhere.
Just lookup how much ucas points the btec gives and lookup what universities are asking in thier typical offers.
Yeah of course you can! Those aren't bad grades at all. Look around, there are some good universities that will accept BB and grades in a BTEC.
Yeah, it should be fine. :smile:
