Studying carpentry but want to do ppe

I have recently discovered a love for politics and ppe seem like the best course for me. To make a long story short. I passed my gcses with 5s but would like to take a very different path to what im on now i am planning on retaking my gcses this year but i have no clue what the next steps are after that or what gcses ill need. Ill take any advice. Thanks

Why are you doing an apprenticeship or whatever, and not doing 3 A levels.

Because i dont want a career in politics i just want to be educated in it and ill have easy access to work after education. I understand that this is going to be a very hard path

Depending on how old you are, you may not need to repeat GCSEs - an Access to HE course at a local college would give you a qualification that is acceptable to Universities instead of A levels. Several Uni have specific 'Foundation' style courses aimed at older/non-traditional learners - and of course there is always the Open University where you need no previous qualifications at all, and can study via distance-learning.
