Do universities accept BTEC?
I am doing BTEC ICT & Medical Science. I am so worried that I won't be able to find a university. I really want to go but it is soo hard to find one. Would you know of any universities (in the UK). I want to do Psychology/Pharmacy or something related. Pls help !

Hi,
Yes most uni's will accept BTEC as a way to get in, I have a BTEC National Diploma in Business and IT, and I got onto my course with help from good references from my lectures. I am currently on my second year at Northumbria Uni and I am studying Computer Security. But if you want to find out some more information about you can simply just go to the UCAS website where you will be able to search for you the course that you want to do see what grades you need to get in, in some cases they may not display the BTEC grades but you can still apply to them and they will normally accept you with a conditional offer, this is just a Higher grade like DDD or DMM or something like that, this is what i had for all of my offers. Or if you are still confused simply talk to your lecturer and ask them for some help, thats what they are there for
Use the link to search for courses that appeal to you. They will indicate what qualifications and grades are required to be considered for a place. I don't think any of the more prestigious universities are likely to accept you with 2 BTECs, so look for courses at the less famous ones.
Yes, but that depends on what BTEC qualification.
