If the specific combination of qualifications you are taking is not given within the 'entry requirements' on the course page, just email the Uni Admissions team with the exact titles of what you are taking and ask. Just be aware that T Levels are not designed for Uni entry and some Unis may not accept them. If their entry requirements are stated in UCAS points, and not 3 A level grades, they are more likely to be flexible about T levels.

Suggestions :
Aberystwyth University - Zoology C300 BSc
Zoology BSc Hons | University of Chester
BSc (Hons) Applied Zoology (with placement) Degree | Undergraduate
BSc (Hons) Zoology | University of Salford
Zoology degree | BSc (Hons) Zoology course - BSc (Hons) - ARU

I unfortunately do not know a way you can search for zoology degrees by which accept t levels.
This page gives a massive list of unis that accept t levels as a whole:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/higher-education-providers-with-t-levels-in-entry-requirements/list-of-higher-education-providers-that-accept-t-levels-for-entry
So if youre looking for options then go through that list and see of them offer zoology and whether thats one of the degrees they offer that accepts t levels, or search up zoology degrees on ucas and read the course requirements to see if they accept t levels. If it’s unclear then contact the unis. Unis which have a ucas tariff as their typical offer should list what qualifications can count toward this.

Good afternoon,

The best option is to contact the university admissions office directly by email or phone to inquire about the available options. This will allow you to find out directly which universities are a good fit. The Admissions homepage for the University of Reading includes contact details.

There may also be the option for a Foundation programme, which allows students without the standard grades to access the course they wish to pursue. I recommend exploring these courses.

I hope this information is helpful, and you are able to find courses for you.

All the best,
Ella

Hi!

Just to add to the replies on this post already, whilst UEA doesn’t have a zoology course, we do accept T levels, and the requirements are listed on the degree pages on the website! We do however have an ecology and conservation degree which has a large overlap with zoology, so may interest you! The website (https://www.uea.ac.uk/course/undergraduate/bsc-ecology-and-conservation) has a section on entry requirements and says that for T levels you need an overall merit in science and accepts BTEC in animal management. I’m sure other unis will accept them too, you just may need to contact the admissions team about the requirements if they aren’t on the website! You could probably have a reasonable guess at this yourself if you convert your predicted grades into UCAS points and compare this to the requirements for the course.

Also I study ecology and conservation with study abroad, so if you’ve got any questions about what it’s like to study this sort of subject, I’d be very happy to answer them!

Best of luck with your application!
