Can I get into uni with a BTEC Diploma?

I have a D*D* BTEC Diploma. I know most unis ask for 3 A levels, does anyone know if it's possible to get uni with my grades?

You can get into some universities with 2 A-levels or equivalent.
Short answer: yes.

D*D* if you did the Diploma (12 units) is equal to 280 UCAS points, unless you did the 9 unit Diploma which is equal to 210 UCAS points.

Thanks for your help! I'm pretty certain I did the 12 unit diploma, will check this!

Course you can! They are usually equivalent to three a levels and tbh the btec you will have completed (what was it btw?) Will give you more experience for uni than studying some a levels you aren't bothered about.
