Biochemistry Leeds/Manchester with BTEC?

Hi, I have D*D in BTEC Applied Science and a B predicted in Psychology A level. Does anyone know if it’s possible to get into Biochemistry at the University of Manchester or Leeds with these grades, even if I don’t have Chemistry A level? Which Universities would accept me? Any advice from students in similar situations would be much appreciated!

Both universities do accept B-tecs in combination with an a-level for biochemistry. I think chem/bio/psych is fine as the a-level but if you want some more official reassurance you could send a quick email to their admissions teams.

Hope this helps,

Phone each Uni and ask them.
