can I still get into bournemouth with bad gcses

I didn't do too well during gcse's and it was entirely my fault, I didn't take anything seriously till now and I deeply regret it, however it doesn't change the fact that I am left with four gcses barely passing(between grades 4- 5) in maths, English lit, English lang and re, however I'm doing okay for alvels (I do btec applied science, psychology alevel, sociology alevel) and I really want to do physiotherapy, is that possible?

It should say on the Bournemouth course page what grades are accepted at A Level, and if you need a minimum in any GCSE subject (usually English) or need to have studied a required subject.

Hello @tanto.dump,

That's a great question, all of our UG course require GCSE Maths and English at Grade 4/C or above. We also offer foundation years which don't have GCSE requirements (however a select few foundation year course do still require the previously stated GCSEs). Like @RougeLady mentioned, visit our course page and view our entry requirements!
Here is the Physiotherapy course page.
