How can i get into uni withought any level 3 qualifications or A-Levels??

So i left school with ony 3 GCSE's. I then went to college and gained another from level 2 BTEC business.

After that i left college and took a year off from studying to just work.

I am now 18 and want to go to uni but dont have any level 3 qualifications.

Any advice on how i could get accepted into uni?

you do need some sort of level 3 qualifications to get into university, i think you should perhaps consider an access course.

You can't, that's it. University isn't like air, it's not for absolutely everyone no matter who you are, no matter what qualifications or life story you have. If you want to go to university, you need a qualification at level 3.
You can apply as a mature student without formal qualifications but must be over the age of 21.

open uni access courses are not considered the same as normal access courses, you can study a degree at open university now if you wanted to.

Not necessarily, you could ask universities if they will or not.
