going to uni with a btech

i am taking two alevels and a level 3 btech (which my teachers say is equivalent to an level), and the career im going towards is in the arts so i'll hopefully be studying fine art or history of art in the future, so would the level 3 btech be accepted the same as an a level??

A Levels are level 3 qualfiications, so are BTEC’s. UCAS accept BTEC’s in terms of grade requirements


For example, a course accepting ‘BTEC Extended Diploma DDM, including relevant Biology modules’

Yes, I'm fairly sure. Some universities don't accept BTECs, but most do I think. I'm heading up to Durham with a level 3 BTEC in animal management with science, and that counts as 3 A-levels so they're happy to accept me. This depends on grades for some universities but BTECs are fine.
