Hi, if you want to go down the medical route, id go for psychology. Its more of a science and also more varied and interesting than ict... i initially started with ICT nut found that it lackrd variety so switched fo psychology which i rnjoy greatly.
If you are looking to go to uni, check entry requirements. Remeember, even if you dont get the required grades you can do a foundation case at university prior to you syarting the course.
also, if you dont think you can avhive high grades ad you want to go in the medical field, consider NVQ's...its a much easier way of accessing the medical/dentistry field. if youvd been to orthodontics, many of their staff havr a NVQ in dentistry in oppose to an actual doctrate or masters
Good luck and all the best

Hi Sayfi, I’ve stumbled across your thread and thought I’d make a quick post.
In terms of the Level 3 BTEC Diploma (12 units) it’s equivalent to 2 full A Levels and the highest grades a student can achieve is D*D* (280 UCAS tariff points). Please note there are various BTEC qualifications and levels and you would be best speaking with the specific provider of the course.
NVQ qualifications can vary in terms of Levels and if they equate to UCAS tariff points. As mentioned already, I would recommend you contact the specific supplier of the course.
I can see you’ve been given a link to visit Bradford College’s website. I would encourage you to contact them directly on 01274 433333 after viewing their courses.
In terms of careers advice I would recommend you speak with Bradford College about this (or whoever you are considering studying with), do some online research about what businesses are looking for and speak with your current tutor or careers advisor.
If I can be of any further assistance or if you would like any specific information about the University of Bradford and the courses we offer please do PM me or post below. Best of luck and I hope this information helps!

Thank you so much! Do you know of and medical/sciency realted degrees that accept Btec L3 science
Applicants interested in applying for the course are required to achieve DMM from the Level 3 Extended BTEC Diploma (18 units). In addition to this all applicants are asked to have a GCSE English, Maths and a Science at grade C or above.
If this course is not really what you’re after you may find it useful visiting the UCAS website. By visiting their website and using the Search Tool you can find other institutions that offer courses related to your area of interests.
I hope you find this information useful and do let me know if I can be of any further help!

if you become a dental nurse and get some experience you may even be able to go to uni as a mature student to study dentistry, I'm not sure though so you'll have to check that out.
other jobs which are less similar but still in a medical environment include speech and language therapy, physiotherapy, occupational theraphy etc. I don't think you will have quite so much earning potential with these jobs though.
