Can I do A Levels and BTEC Level 3 together to apply for university next year?

Hi everyone,
I’m currently studying for a BTEC Level 3 Foundation Diploma in IT (Cloud Computing) at Stockport College. Still, I’ve recently learned that the UCAS points from this qualification might not be enough to get me into university, as they are lower than the Extended Diploma.
I wonder if I could take A Levels alongside my BTEC to boost my UCAS points. Is it possible to do both A Levels and BTEC in the same year? If so, how many A Levels would I need to take, and where could I study them while still enrolled at Stockport College?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks

Foundation diploma is 1.5 of an alevel extended is 3 you can ask your college to put you into an alevel course

its a 2 year course, so its 1.5 per year. two years gives u all 3 a levels?
well that's the way its at my college, maybe its different all around.
but yeah, definitely ask your college for a top up or a push up. its worth it

I've been told an extended is 3 diploma is 2 and foundation is 1.5

BTEC are linear, 2-year qualifications, so you don’t cash in until the end. According to Pearson, a foundation diploma is worth the same as 1.5 A-levels. The extended diploma is equivalent to 3 A-levels.
To answer the question, it is possible to do a mix of BTEC and A-level and a lot of uni’s accept this. I did an extended certificate (1 A-level) and diploma (2 A-levels) but my brother is doing 2 extended certificates plus one A-level.

YES I did 2 A-levels and 1 BtEc and still got into a good russel group university!! So many ppl do and dnt event realise it, do ur self a favour and pick a BtEc

Ahh okay okay what uni is this??
I’m in hsc second year rn and starting my a level too. Just tryna decide which subject what did u do?

Univer of Manchester studying Busienss management, I did a level business a level phych and BtEc sports, very random combination but it’s often about the grades that u get and the UCAS POINTS rather then the actual subjects, some girl in my courses did sconce subjects only and still doing busienss management in a russel group uni, dww about doing btecs, id say just do it it’ll make ur life easierrr especially in year 13 towards exam season

And ofc have a good personal statement to back urself up, have ppl proof read it, use grammarly (but careful with certain words cuz grammarly is an American website so some worlds are spelled doffe!tly, like organisationrganazation

Yeah my college is very confusing with them tbh, that’s why I said to do your research and make sure your on a = to 3 a levels. If you only want to do level 3. Because that’s why I wanted and I accidentally got put onto certificate which turned into national diploma in my second year now.
Ohh
I’m doing a national diploma, and planning on one a lebel. Would that be okay?
What subjects are you doing?

I finished last year with D*D in double sport and D in tourism. I got 4 offers for business and management at uni but decided to go down the higher apprenticeship route instead.
My bro is doing single sport, tourism, and A-level business.
