My predicted grades are too low for radiography

Hey so basically I do btec applied science and I’ve been predicted a MPP before anyone says anything yes the course was hard and majority of my class flopped this course so we’re all kind of on the same page :/ I’d like to study diagnostic radiography at uni however I’m very worried that I may not get an conditional offer from any unis. I’ve been checking and the lowest grades taken are MMM but for some unis I’ve never really heard off. Besides the point I’m worried they won’t accept my offer and won’t take me. There’s also an apprenticeship going as well but requires a DMM so no chance at all. What should I do? I’m in a pickle

You have a few options. You could take a one-year Access to Higher Education Diploma at a local college then apply to uni or look for DR courses offering a foundation year. Check with unis offering foundation years if you can apply for the standard course and then be considered for the foundation year if you don't receive an offer.

It doesn't matter which uni you go to for a healthcare course - the NHS will not care where you studied. It just has to be a HCPC approved course:

Also, have a think about therapeutic radiography (also known as radiotherapy) instead. It is not as competitive as DR and can have lower entry requirements.

Hello thank you! I also had one more question so if I want to do an apprenticeship but can’t apply as I have a MPP with my predicted, can I still apply to the apprenticeship at the end of my course if I am able to achieve the grade?. Not sure how that would work hence why I’m asking 🙂 thank u for replying
