Is going to uni with two alevels possible?

Hey guys
I am currently doing bio chem and psychology alevels, however I am not getting the grades I need, therefore thinking about btechs but I don’t want to do a whole reset and do another two years of college. So I was wondering if I can get some advice if it is possible with dropping biology and going ahead with chemistry and psychology alevels (just two) as I think I will have enough ucas points to do the course in radiology in uni as I have also just completed my core maths exams and plan on doing EPQ in yr 2. So I should have three alevels in total and hopefully enough ucas points.
What should I do??

Personally, I would go with 3 A Levels (i.e. do one more in your gap year) as opposed to just sticking with 2. At the very least, you would open yourself to significantly more options.

There are a handful of universities that accept 2 A Levels, but they are not common. See: https://uniacco.com/blog/web-stories/list-of-universities-that-accept-2-a-levels

The following would accept 2 A Levels:
https://www.wlv.ac.uk/courses/bsc-hons-medical-physiology-and-diagnostics/
https://courses.uwe.ac.uk/B821/diagnostic-radiography#entry (maybe, need to verify with undergrad admissions)

Do note: radiology is a medical discipline. Unless you want to go into medicine, you are more or less going in as a radiographer (medical imaging). Medicine would require 3 A Levels or strong IB scores in the UK, unless you are looking at options abroad.

Thank you so much
Would changing the course to biomed give me more options possibly?
Could u give me more unis that accept 2 alevels?
Also LSBU accepts to CC grades, do u think that is a good uni?

What do you actually want to do post graduation? If you don't know what to do, random degrees won't help.

You could also do your own research using the above links yourself.

You should be able to get in:

https://www.bournemouth.ac.uk/study/courses/bsc-hons-biomedical-science-0
https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/courses/biomedical-sciences-bsc/ (you would need to check)
https://courses.uwe.ac.uk/C980/biomedical-science#entry (need to check)
https://www.tees.ac.uk/undergraduate_courses/biosciences/bsc_(hons)_biomedical_science.cfm (need to check)

There aren't many that would. See: https://uniacco.com/blog/web-stories/list-of-universities-that-accept-2-a-levels

I know a few people who graduated from LSBU, but it's not the first uni that I would opt for.
