Can I get into King's College Physiotherapy BsC Hons with a D*D*D* in Sport?

As the title suggests, I currently do a BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Sport, and am on track to receive a D*D*D*. I was wondering if this is enough to get me into King's? Or do I need separate A Levels to accompany this?

It appears that two A levels are needed in addition to a BTEC (copied from the entry requirements section of the course page):

A-levels must include two of: Biology (or Human Biology), Chemistry, Psychology, Physics, Sociology, Physical Education, or Mathematics.

Please note that A-level General Studies, Critical Thinking, Thinking Skills and Global Perspectives are not accepted by King's as one of your A-levels.

Use the NHS course finder to search for other options and check the entry requirements section for each uni. For healthcare degrees, it really doesn't matter where you study as every course has to meet HCPC standards. :smile:
