Yeah you should be able too. I don’t think English degrees have particular a-level requirements, but rather just a certain grade you need to achieve. Super prestigious universities might require you to do English A-level, but for the majority of universities you should be good

I would recommend getting in touch with some Universities to see what they require from you. Some courses do require previous study of English Language or English Literature. Best of luck :smile:

Most unis will only be concerned with GSCE Eng & Maths. It's only very competitive courses/unis that will want a strong set of 8 or more GCSE results.

If there is a reason that you took fewer GCSE, (such as moving country or changing education systems), then have your referee address this when you apply to undergraduate.
