Opinions on t-level health
Hi guys, I really want to be a midwife or a neonatal nurse (haven’t made up my mind yet) and I would like to know if I take the t-level in health, would it still be beneficial to me?
My other option is to take a-level history, psychology, and biology. However, I would have to retake biology GCSE as I did foundation so the maximum I can get is a 5.
 The t-level in health really interests me, and I think I could do well.  Plus I have checked and both nursing and midwifery courses accept the t-level. 
What should I do?

If you have checked a range of unis for your courses and they accept the T level, then it is fine to go ahead with it. Do check the GCSE requirements for these unis too as they usually result in an automatic rejection if you don't have them.

Don't touch T-Levels. They are not designed for Uni entrance, many Unis wont accept them - and they are likely to get dumped by this government because they have been such a failure - The Guardian view on post-16 qualifications: the switch to T-levels has been botched | Editorial | The Guardian

I have checked and the unis I would like accept them, so thank you very much for your input!

Hi, I have checked most unis (the ones I would like) and they accept them, do you think it would be safe to go ahead if unis accept them?

Hi, of course! If a uni accepts t levels as an entry requirement and you think the t level will suit you then go ahead and do it. For healthcare degrees it does seem to be more about the interview and the grade than the type of course done apart from medicine. Don't worry about getting into uni with a t level, my friends and I have all done it just fine x

Just as a warning, they do only accept Distinctions, this is extremely difficult.
Hi,
This definitely depends on the uni you want to go to. My friend is doing midwifery at quite a good uni and she got a merit with a b in the first year which isn't so difficult

if you’re certain on the T-Level id recommend only if you’re certain on a health career due to you’re placements being on the wards. University’s for nursing you’ll be looking at at a merit overall which is doable however midwifery they mostly want a distinction which is harder to get Some unis want a b in the core however some just want a merit!! Most universities accept T-Levels though how especially for Nursing and Midwifery!!

I disagree with this, talking as a T level health student predicted A* in my first year, the content is way more relevant to nursing (what I’d like to do) and I have found many more opportunities within my college than if I did A levels. There is placement opportunities in hospitals and the practical experience is invaluable, I can’t talk for other t levels but all the unis I have spoken to actually prefer the t level because of its relevance. Students in BTECs are dropping out rapidly from uni because of the jump between the two whereas t level students in uni are having a much higher success rate (so far). I go to one of the best colleges in England for the t level so maybe it’s because my teachers have provided much more support than what I’ve heard from my mates doing the t level at other colleges but this course was the best decision I could have made for myself

Yeah so thats not true. Most unis require a merit which is 120 ucas however you can get in on a pass which is 96 ucas depending on your offers
