Hi @Urdhu
Based on the qualification, you could apply to Brighton Uni!
Our Diagnostic Radiography course requires 112 UCAS Tariff points with an B grade in an A Level Science subject.
Some fun facts about our course:

•

Approved by the College of Radiographers and the Health and Care Professions Council.

•

Brighton is in the UK top 20% for graduate earnings in allied health, three years after graduating – Longitudinal Education Outcomes 2024.

I would recommend checking universities websites for their entry requirements or contacting the unis enquiry team to get more clarification. I also would highly recommend making sure the uni is accredited/approved by the appropriate systems
Let me know if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them!

Check the entry requirements for a range of different Unis - they will all be different. If they don't mention the combination you are doing (A levels + BTEC) just email their admissions team and ask - don't guess.

Your subjects will be fine for the majority of DR courses as they usually require one science at A level. To search for approved courses and check the requirements, use the NHS course finder:
