yes
no, you can't ask them to reduce their requirements - if you've already got the grades they either accept you or decline you

For a course I’m interested in, I meet their btec requirement however I’m one grade of their gcse requirement. So they would decline me? Or would they give me a contextual offer reducing gcse requirement?

Thanks for your answer btw

Contextual offers only normally apply to A levels (or equivalent) not to GCCEs.
Unis are normally strict about GCSE requirements but you should check with the Admissions team at the uni whether they would still consider your application

1) Depends on the Uni. Bristol, as one example, doesnt. But may still target you for an offer as a contextual applicant.

2) GCSEs are about basic skills - thats why the most common requirements are Maths and English grades. No, they wont reduce this requirement - everyone needs the same basic skills. Retake the GCSE, and they will include that as a separate condition. Your last school may be willing to let you retake it there (ie. just to sit the exam).
