I have a half a btech extended diploma science, two Alevels English and art, I had to take the btech in replacement of Alevel history which I previously failed. I am 18 and I can't go to a good uni because of this. Next year after A2 I want to take an extra Alevel, that being chemistry or biology as I want to get into nutrition. Is it possible to do nutrition at a uni with half a btech and an a level in biology or chemistry? Help :smile:

You need to check the entrance requirements for the uni you are applying to as they all have different policies.

There is also overlap between your A level and btec. best contact them now and they can tell you what they will consider acceptable.

Examples to show you how they differ.
