The grade is DM. It is equivalent to 2 GCSEs at grade A and B. Just search on UCAS for BTEC First Award and put grades as DM. Remember for University you need the Level 3 qualifications and any necessary GCSEs. For example if a course asks for 5 GCSEs, the BTEC L2 doesn't always cover that,but you do need to list all qualifications achieved.
