i did a btec & a-level maths and got into exeter perfectly fine. infact they didn’t even ask for my maths a-level results they only cared for my btec and wanted me to get a DDM.

a btec doesn’t restrict you dw.

Hi, im a bit late for this. It definitely depends on what course you're planning to do at university because they all have different gcse and BTEC requirements. However, most Russel groups consider GCSE's at grade 6 or above. I have currently applied to 3 Russel group! Let me know if you have any questions.

For some Russel groups like Durham, if you do A-level Maths then they would not look at your GCSE maths result, instead they would focus on your A-level result. Did you know what course you're going for?
