Once you are a student a University will not care which school qualifications got you there - and they certainly don't use this as a way of handing out placements, Where had you heard this?

If you want to do a placement as part of your degree, you apply for that specific course on your UCAS application - ie. Business and Management with Placement Year N203 - Durham University

Hi there!

I studied BTEC Level 3 Law & got into Durham with offers for both Psychology and Behavioural Science. 😊

You can definitely still apply, so long as you meet the eligibility requirements for the course!
