Cybersecurity with BTEC Pass+Merit

I want to study Cybersecurity. I’ve completed two Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Certificates (1-year each), Pass in one and a Merit in the other. Which unis/courses should I look at, and what entry requirements do people usually need with these BTECs? 😊

You might need to bulk up your qualifications. Two National Certificates are worth half an A'level each, which means you've sat the equivalent of one A'level. Universities expect three. You may want to look into doing a National Diploma, or two National Extended Cerificates to get to this level.
