If I do a Level 3 apprenticeship, can i still apply to a russel group university?

Hey, im currently doing gcse's and im planning to do apprenticeships instead of sixth form, but after that i would like to go to uni. But i cant find any information online if russel group universities or any universities actually accept level 3 apprenticeships. Im also unaware if an apprenticeship gives you the same or less amount of ucas points compared to going to sixth form and doing A-levels. It would be very nice if someone could answer my queries.

Thank you
An apprenticeship is not an academic qualification so Unis will not accept this instead of A levels etc.

Thank you for replying but i thought they accept by looking at the amount of ucas points earned.

It doesn't 'earn' any UCAS points because it isnt an academic qualification.

What about applying for a Level 6 degree apprenticeship qualification which has a Russel uni as the uni provider?
