Can i use my bachelors degree as a way of applying for another bachelors degree?

Lets say I completely failed my A-levels but managed to get a place at university where I got a Bachelors degree.

If then I wanted to apply to another university for another bachelors degree with higher entry standards than my A-level results, would my new bachelors degree be enough to get me an offer? (provided there were no subject specifics)

(eg. Bachelors degree in Comp Sci but DDD in A-levels, want to apply to course with minimum A-levels ABB requirement)

So rarely happens that it’s very much case by case. Some unis would consider you as mature and have no issues, others would immediately reject you.

If you were an international student then there’s also the issue of academic progression.

I think universities look at your highest qualification, so I think if you had a bachelors degree they would look at that first before looking at your a' levels.
I also think it would depend on what you got in your bachelors e.g. whether you got a first or a high 2:1. Finally, I think if you did well in a degree course, I think they would question why were not doing a masters (unless the subjects were completely different).

Hope that helps,
