Well the University of Manchester (as an example) states that to study their MPharm Pharmacy (4 years) course, and your using a BTEC qualification to apply, you'll need:

University of Manchester

Successful completion of a BTEC National Diploma (18 units) at grades DDD in a science-based subject. Must be presented with A-level Chemistry at grade B or above.

Alternatively, successful completion of a BTEC National Certificate (12 units) at grades DDD in a science-based subject. Must be presented with A-level Chemistry at grade B or above and either Biology or Mathematics at grade B or above.

Hope that gives you some idea.

He just trolling - Im going to Uni with PPP on the same course. God I hated that stupid course, I had a ****ty 50% attendence for the second year.

People in my class who actually are going into science for their degree's are doing all sorts! I think some are going into med, some into chemistry, biology, zoology etc

There's lots of oppotunities especially with DDD :biggrin:

I've got an offer to do Marine Biology with an MMM in Applied Science. Other people got offers for stuff such as biochemistry, pharmacology, etc.

I think Liverpool accepts DDD for some courses, so you're not limited to 'non-prestigious' unis.

I don't think you could get into popular courses such as dentistry, medicine, etc though.

You could become a lab technician. As far as I know, the BTEC is the technical certificate for the apprenticeship framework.

So, you could work in a research lab. If you want a degree you could do a degree with the OU alongside. That way you would earn while you study, pay lower tuition fees (or none if your employer sponsors you) and come out with a degree, no debt and three years work experience at the end. = win win win win.

You can get to do space stuff you are going to be limited to the "worse" universitys. I think Portsmouth ane Nottingham on tent do space kinda courses. That's our of memory I could be wrong though as I was thinking of doing space stuff for a bit.

You can do medicine with btec applied science at Leicester medical school but that includes a foundation year which is a 6 year course.
