Is it possible for me to pick Graphic Design A-Level & BTEC Art Level 3 together?

I've wanted to be within the graphic design career, and I was fairly interested in the "Graphic Communication" undergraduate degree to study later. The reason why I wanted to do both Graphic Design A-Level and Art & Design BTEC Level 3 was to help build up my portfolio and stuff, but I was wondering if it was allowed as they are mildly similar courses?

This is my first post on here so sorry if it's unclear/confusing :s-smilie:

Thanks for any replies :smile:

It could be possible (depends on your college) but it does not make any sense. BTEC Art & Design will give you more than enough opportunity to build your portfolio - if you are doing the Extended Diploma you are basically supposed to work full-time on it (I'm sure it has Graphic Design option units as well, though not sure if your college offers them). If you want to do an A-Level alongside (which is a good idea), you should take a contrasting one that may still be useful for your degree choice, like English, Business or Computing or Maths, depending on your preferences and abilities.
