im scared for uni

2

I'm a yr 12 student who flopped on his gcse's and is stuck doing btecs at school. One being an extended certificate and another an extended diploma. I'm scared that I wont be able to do law llb or law with internation/business law due to the subjects I'm doing. Are there any good uni's at all in the london area that would take me? will I have an opportunity for a degree apprenticeship? As I'm honestly very scared about my future as I know what I want I just don't know if I can achieve it because of my grades and what I'm doing back in my gcse's and also now in sixth form only doing btecs. ( for gcse I got 5 in maths 4 in lan 3 in lit, 4-4 in science, 4 in cs and geo. I then also got merit 2 in enterprise and p2 in travel and tourism.

Hello! @idk1234456938543 🙂
Firstly, I appreciate this must be a stressful time but please try not to stress too much! Many people don't know what they want to do/how to get to their desired career, in year 12, 13 and even later in life.
The best thing to do now is to focus on your BTECs to give yourself more opportunities in the future.
You mentioned you'd like to study Law, I'd recommend looking at universities' websites and see their entry requirements to give you a goal to aim for.
UEA's Law Course requires you have a minimum of grade 4 at GCSE in Maths and English Language, which you do have. UEA isn't in London but it isn't too far away from it (about 3 hours by trains) and it has a respected Law School.
I'd also recommend thinking about what kind of university you'd like to attend, i.e. campus based or city based? To help with this, I'd highly recommend attending open days as these give you an opportunity to talk to lecturers and current students.
I hope this helps, please feel free to ask any questions you may have! 🙂
