What good unis in the uk accept two btecs?

I do Btec It diploma and Btec business extended certificate, can any uni accept me into their software engineering course?

Another quick question, if a entry requirement is an extended diploma, can two btecs be accepted? Especially if one of them is in the same field.

For our BSc (Hons) Software Engineering course, we typically require a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in a relevant subject (such as IT, Computing or Computer Science), or an equivalent combination of qualifications.
Two BTEC qualifications may be considered, as long as together they meet the required UCAS tariff points and include sufficient relevant content. As you are studying a BTEC IT Diploma and a BTEC Business Extended Certificate, your IT qualification would be the main subject we review for relevance.
Entry is assessed on a case-by-case basis, so we would encourage you to apply. If needed, we may also recommend a foundation year route as an alternative entry point.
You can check the full entry requirements and apply through UCAS.

Many Universities will want A level Maths - taking this in a gap year would greatly increase your options. The other problem is that many Universities that do accept just a BTEC will want a BTEC Extended Diploma and not Diploma plus Certificate. All you can do is email some Universities, tell them what you are taking (plus your GCSE Maths grade) and ask if that is acceptable.
