First of all, there is no degree course from Oxford in forensic science.
Second, to become a forensic scientist, you're essentially need to be a scientist. If you want, you can do a degree in chemistry, biochem, biomedicine, physics, or biology from Oxford.
Third, there is a plethora of accredited forensic science degrees that would accept the qualifications that you are studying now.

Traditionally, as far as I know, Oxford tend to accept the more academic and traditional qualifications and subjects. Applied science BTEC and Criminology WJEC Diploma aren't qualifications I think they would readily accept. Having said that, there could always be exceptions. Your best bet is to contact undergrad admission to check whether this is the case.

In terms of finding accredited forensic science degrees, if you go to the following job profiles:

...you would be pointed to the following page regarding accredited degrees:

There are over 190 degrees that you can do to get into the field, and a lot of the universities accept BTEC and your other subjects. You would need to check the entry requirements of each individual degree to be sure though.
