Acceptance of Universities based on type of qualifications

I am a year 12, studying BTEC Business Studies, IB Higher Psychology and A-Level Photography, quite a mixture, and I am currently searching for Universities but it is quite stressful as I don't know if any University will accept this variety of qualification.

Does it matter the qualification or would the Universities just look for the grade and UCAS points that go with the subject grade?

Do you have any thoughts about what subject you want to study at university?

It’s an unusual combination so you’re unlikely to get a clear answer on most university websites.

Hi there!

This sometimes depends on the degree you want to do, but most degrees and universities will ask for X UCAS points! You can work out how many points you have using a UCAS calculator !
If you are unsure, I would email your universities admission team to check they accept all of your qualifications!
