Can I go to university with A levels but no GCSEs?

I am currently studying A-levels in Further Math, Math, and Economics. I am very interested in applying to your university. I do not have GCSE qualifications. Can I go uni

From my knowledge there are some unis that don’t require GCSE grades for you to get in, but it is best to mention in your application why you don’t have them. Sometimes if you’re over the age of 21 or completing a foundation year for uni it’s also easier to get in with lower grades

Depends on the university, check their entry requirements or email them

Which city and country did you complete your high school education from?

Some countries don't sit exams at 16 years of age and only have A-Levels or IB at 17/18/19 years old.

So once again, it will depend on your country!!! 🙂

Yes. Overseas students don't have GCSEs. You just have to explain why, ie homeschooled, in hospital etc.
