Have you emailed the university to ask if they can provide some guidance to you?

As above, contact the Admissions Team and explain why you don't have any science GCSEs plus the title of the T-level you are taking and which units you are doing - Contact us | Undergraduate | University of Liverpool

There are other Universities in the Liverpool area that offer Nursing - remember that wherever you train you will be a qualified Nurse, there is no 'better' course. The NHS will not care where you trained - and your future patients will not ask.

While it is difficult to get a nursing degree without a science GCSE, some universities offer foundation years, or you may be able to gain entry through alternative routes like a nursing apprenticeship, an Access to HE Diploma, or a Nursing Associate role. These alternative pathways can help you build the necessary qualifications for a nursing degree or become a qualified nurse through a different route.


Miniature requirement for nursing degrees......
Entry requirements for UK nursing degrees generally include at least five GCSEs at grade 4/C or above (including English, maths, and a science) and two to three A-levels or equivalent qualifications, such as a BTEC or T-level. A-level biology is frequently required, but specific requirements vary, so it is essential to check with individual universities.


===================================================================


Although you might find some universities requesting you have English, math's and science subject, then you'll have some universities requesting you have English, maths and biology for nursing degrees, also you might find some universities that you don't require a science subject for nursing..... It's best to actually check your chosen universities for there own individual entry requirements for nursing degrees course's because every individual university in the UK sets it own entry requirements for all nurse degrees course's.

Check your chosen universities asap so you know exactly what you have to do ( phone or email them for further information.). Try phoning first.


At the end of the day your future employers don't care about what university you go to as long as you qualified as a registered nurse from a credited course.

Good luck 👍 🤞 🤞 🤞
