ALL universities recongnise and most accept will BTEC Science. You will need to research what uni your wanting to go to. It will say if they accept BTEC or not, if they don't they will look at your other A-Levels and offer you another course or let you do a foundation year.

You should be able to get onto those courses, its good that you are also doing Chemistry because thats what you need (in addition to the Extended diploma) to get into Pharmacy

With the A level chemistry - Pharmacy, but you may require at least a grade B in the Pharmacy.

Dental Hygiene - should be fine.

Audiology/Optometry - in theory yes, but Universities are often now asking for A level physics for this with the BTEC.

All of the above will require work experience and a good understanding of the profession so you will need to get some experience to draw on in your personal statement.

In addition, you may also have requirements for certain grades in at GCSE - e.g B's in Science or B's in English/Maths.

Do you have friends/family that work in the field? Even distant contacts - ask your parents to ask around.... This is the BEST way if you can as people are more likely to allow you to observe if it is 'favour' for someone they know.

Contact local professionals - explain your situation and ask - if you don't ask you don't get! You are looking to get an understanding of the profession to support a University application.

You may be able to get paid work experience depending on the profession. Look at job websites - take your CV around relevant places.

Ask at your school/college to see if they have a work experience coordinator - alot of places will - they can help you.
