How do I get into a good university?

I wasn’t ever planning to go to uni throughout my entire life especially during my time in college and decided to just about pass 2 irrelevant alevel subjects (which I chose out of enjoyment instead of picking flexible subjects to help me with uni) and one AS subject but 4 years have passed now and I’ve changed my mind about attending uni. After looking at various courses within the field of law, psychology, business or humanities in general I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s no way I can get into uni in general especially for the year of 2024. I’ve tried to look at ways to pay for alevels but it’s only giving me the option to redo alevels instead of fresh subjects? Does anyone have any advice. I’m not trying to find a fast route to uni, just feel like I’ve wasted 4 years trying to figure my life out only to realise I need to take the path of uni for certain careers that I want to pursue. I’m down to pay however much and put in the work but I really would like to get into a good uni for 2024 instead of wasting another year

Have you looked into foundation years? They will be much more flexible about entry requirements and depending on what the course is and where you’re looking a lot of them allow you to progress to the degree programme if you pass the foundation year.

Access to Higher Education course?

When I was reading about that option it mentioned that I need to enroll in a college but I thought i would just have to pay for the 2024 exams in a test centre and revise myself

Is a foundation year equivalent to alevels? And can I transfer to a different university after I’ve finished the course or will I only get the chance to remain in the same uni?
