Oxbridge and WJEC Criminology Level 3??

My friend takes 'The WJEC Level 3 Applied Diploma in Criminology ' as one of her options in sixth form along with two other proper A-Levels.

I was wondering if there'd be a feasible chance for her to apply to Oxbridge with this as technically she is only taking 2 A-Levels. She should be on track to get all the top grades, but I can't find anything saying they accept it and we were wondering if there was a chance that Oxbridge would accept it as a A-Level equivalent.

Our school advertises the option very much as a normal A-Level (which is terrible of them because it ropes a lot of students into thinking they're going to get 3 A Levels when they're only going to end up with 2) so she's definitely feeling nervous at the prospect of basically applying to any university with only two A-Levels because she wasn't told this when she first selected her A Level options.

There is problem with this qualification in that some universities do not accept it at all so your friend would have only 2 A levels. I dont know about Oxbridge but some top universities dont accept it. She would need to check with universities she is interested in going to.
