Right now im doing my gsce exams and i am going to do a health and social care level 3 extended diploma and they require 5 gsce subjects and i know i am not passing science. My predicted subjects that i am going to pass: english language, IGSCE english as a second language, maths, french and food tech and nutrition. Later on i want to go to university but im not sure if i meet the requiring requirements and some ask for science but i want to do health and social care without anything related to science. So my question is how can i get into university with all of these qualifications and will i be able to get in?

I’m sure you can find a health and social care uni course which has a foundation degree! You should be fine as long as you come out with a pass in your level 3 extended diploma you’ll get in for sure. Nothing to stress about, just try you best! Have a look on ucas, you want to select undergraduate health and social care. See if you get in for the regular course (it’s mostly based off of your post 16 education results (so the health and social care lvl3 extended diploma for you), you won’t know them yet but see what their requirements are anyways). A foundation year would mean lower entry requirements so add that to the search filters too if the regular requirements seem too high for you.. Goodluck, ask if you need anything else or help with navigating the website!
