I have no A levels!

Which universities?

I'm not going to guess how academic you are.

if you want to get a degree then do the a levels and apply for the universities, but if your main concern is to be able to get a good job, then you can go into job straightaway, many people have not done alevels but are very successful in their career.

A foundation year which takes place at an actual university (like a year 0) does require A-levels. These years are funded by student finance and you can stay in Halls, so it's basically just a degree that takes four years rather than three. Some of these courses do allow people with lots of relevant work experience in the subject area, but I'm not sure if this applies to you.

However, if you don't have A-levels, your local further education college should have 'Access' courses which normally take a year to complete and can be used as a replacement for A-levels and you can use it to apply to University to study whatever course you like - as long as you have completed relevant modules. Some colleges have 'Access to Humanities', 'Access to Science' and 'Access to Health Professions' courses, so you have to pick which is relevant to the degree subject you wish to study. Furthermore, these courses are NOT funded by student finance and will have to be paid for privately and the cost can vary, but they are not normally any more than £5000. Also most universities don't publish their access requirements as entry this way is in the minority, so you will have to contact them directly.

I've just looked at The Manchester College - because I'm bored - and noticed that they have an amazing amount of access courses! Here's a few for you to take a look at:

Nursing and Allied health professions http://www.themanchestercollege.ac.uk/options/110/Nursing-and-Allied-Health-Professions

Med, Dentistry, Pharmacy http://www.themanchestercollege.ac.uk/options/193/Medicine-Dentistry-Pharmacy-and-Medical-Science

Law http://www.themanchestercollege.ac.uk/adults/courses/professions-law-criminology-0

Business and Management http://www.themanchestercollege.ac.uk/adults/courses/business-management

Humanities and Social Sciences http://www.themanchestercollege.ac.uk/adults/courses/humanities-social-sciences

And there is loads more, just go to their website and in the search box type 'access'.

How old are you by the way?

Access courses are the simplest, quickest and most efficient way.

What if your 18? Also the lady said that access doesn't necessarily mean you will get accepted by the uni

Thought you said you were 19 :P
Yeah; though if you do well you will most likely get a place, as long as all is well with application.

This.
Though my only concern is that graduate employers don't like Access courses; prefering A level or BTEC qualifications (on UCAS point basis).
Access doesn't give UCAS points does it?

Access offers are made on a different basis to Ucas points, but it's not my area of expertise.
