AAA in Bio, Chem and Maths

Hi everyone, I've got AAA in Biology Chemistry and Maths - what degree apprenticeships should I apply to? Im scared because all of the ones i'm looking at require 96 UCAS point (or even less) so I feel like my grades are kinda going to waste.

Hi, I got 3 A*s and I'm doing a degree apprenticeship. At the end of the day, it's a better route compared to university, especially for university, so you don't need to think of it as a waste.

If you're interested in biomedical / chemical degree apprenticeships, I'd recommend checking out AstraZeneca and GSK degree apprenticeships. I got into AstraZeneca so I can send over some resources to help with your application, if needed.

Just let me know if you're interested and I'll send over.

Hi I’m thinking about doing a degree apprenticeship at a pharmaceutical company and I’d love your opinion on the following questions if you are able to help:
- would you say there are any downsides to doing a degree apprenticeship compared to uni?
- do you think people look down on you for it?
- are you linked to a specific uni?
- was it hard to find somewhere to live?
- is it hard to balance studying and work?
- was the application process hard?
- how long between applying and getting it?
- what time of year did you
