Do BTEC unit grades matter for uni entry?

I did a BTEC L3 Business and have MPP overall, but got Distinction in pitching a business and Merit in digital marketing. Do these unit grades help me with uni applications or do they just look at the overall grade? Any student advice? 😊

Unless there are certain subject units specified in the course entry requirements, Unis will only look at the overall grades,

It’s usually your overall predicted grade that unis see so they won’t know what units you’ve been doing or those exam results. If you had an interview for a university you could possibly bring it up if you want to talk about how well you’ve done I’m specific areas, but otherwise they won’t see those individual marks.
