Just for motivation for the people taking btecs below I’m in my second year and I achieved all distinctions in my ten units in first year and I’ve had a offer from queen marys , York , uni of Liverpool and Lancaster so 3 Russel groups and 1 top ten uni to study biomedical science and biology with medical science , don’t think you won’t make your goal because u do a btec just work hard and you’ll get there 🤞🏿
hi, im a student and id like to ask afew questions about btecs since you have first hand experience and have done exceptionally well. Do you have any social media i can contact you via?
I agree that in theory BTECs are very much more challenging. Yes there isn’t a stressful exam at the end. However there is stressful coursework deadlines and the work itself can be fairly challenging/ stressful. Not to mention that the research understanding helps a heck of a lot at uni. To reference correctly to then knowing how to conduct foundational research.
Agree but for some reason.. not all U. I accept Btec3 and preferred Alevel. Even worse, some European countries don't recognise Btec qualifications (;. Dont know why why.. probably.. gov overslept something 😢
Breaking news women, I’m studying a btec extended diploma in applied science and am applying for Lancaster or York university. You can easily get into many unis for biomedical science with the applied science extended diploma Btec. Furthermore, both Oxford and Cambridge will accept said Btec qualifications with an accompanied a level. This can be done with for exam core maths or other qualifications in the ‘enrichment’
I agree with everything in this great video. It is disappointing that there is still those that believe A levels are better. This is totally wrong, my own experience is that BTEC is very highly regarded in the real world of business. BTEC illustrates that you can do the job as where A levels is known for it's theory orientation. So for those contemplating the two I would certaintly go for BTEC as they are more practical and Business gladly accepts them. Also when you go onto University the experience gained in writing, and researching essays will but you well ahead of A level students. GOOD LUCK on which ever journey you choose.

There are so many jobs in the field and yes over 95% of universities accept the BTEC qualifications for higher education. I have posted a video titled BTEC applied science level 3 qualifications explained where I answer these questions so please check that out and let me know if you need any more help😊
I wanted to know if the BTEC Extended Diploma is the the same as BTEC Level 3 Diploma applied science the same or different. Is it regarded the same qualification for universities.
Hi Shreya, The BTEC extended diploma is the one that is equivalent to 3 A levels and that is usually the one people do if they want to go to university. The national diploma is not the same as it is worth 2 A levels. I hope that answers your question? x
El profesor- you’d have to check with the individual universities. As far as I know, most that accept BTEC on its own ask for the extended diploma. Some ask for the extended and an A level in chemistry. I would make a shortlist of around 8 u universities that you may apply to and directly call them before you make your UCAS application. I hope that helps. Let me know how you get on!😊
Hi I didn’t do well in my chemistry and biology exam for GCSEs, so my teachers don’t think it’s right for me to take it as an a level. But I really want to get into medicine. Do you think btec applied science would help me still get into a medical course at uni ?
hi, some universities accept the btec for medicine but if you are looking to go to a certain uni you might need to research it, however most universities are moving to accept it. I hope this helps!
Hello! Have you chosen your pathway yet? There are a few universities that do accept the BTEC Extended Diploma as entry into foundation medicine. I talk about those universities in the video below: ruclips.net/video/j-cpyxZnFdU/видео.html There are about 5 universities that accept BTEC students and so it is very competitive. Hope this helps! :) Good luck and get in touch via my website if you need more help or advice: Bioteachlondon.com Thanks :)
I really want to get into dentistry or around that field like medical, do u think it would be possible as I’m doing health and social care CTEC apparently it’s the same thing as BTEC
Hey Maya! I think the CTEC is similar to the BTEC but delivered by the Cambridge technical exam board (OCR). So if you are doing the extended diploma with them, then that should get you into a university. From my experience, courses like medicine and dentistry are very competitive and most universities still prefer the A level qualification but some do foundation courses or entry level courses and they accept BTEC qualifications. I expect you’d have to call a few places to see if they accept the CTEC in health and social care. It’s worth doing a quick Google search for “foundation medicine” or “foundation dentistry” and seeing which universities come up! Off the top of my head, Southampton uni offer something and so do Bristol uni but please check this yourself. I hope that answers your questions Maya but let me know if there is anything else you need clarification on ❤️
I would say A level biology is a bit harder because of the fact that all of the assessment is at the end of the course. Btec has continual assessments so you can chunk it a bit better. It depends where you are applying for nursing (as in which universities). Some universities might accept the health and social care BTEC and no A levels at all whilst some might want applied science on its own or even as a combo with an A level. I would advise you to look at shortlisting maybe 10 universities which do the nursing course and looking on their websites to find out what their entry requirements are. They usually detail their requirements fairly well but if you find they haven’t got all of the information, you can always call them and ask to speak with their admissions team who will most definitely be able to help. I hope that helps answer your question! Thanks so much for sending that through! 😀
Hi I wanted to be a dermatologist but due to my gcse grades my collage said that I couldn’t do a levels (biology and chemistry)and said that I am more eligible for the extended applied science level 3. I really want to go to a good university and pursue a science/medical career …do u recommend I should pick any a level or an 1 a level chemistry aside applied science in college?
Hey Logan! Thanks for your question. Do you know which pathway you are doing? Or maybe if you could tell me the units you will complete and I can work it out for you! Chat soon!
Logan no worries at all! When you start your course, ask your school/ college and then let me know and I can help you with the grading. Any of the pathways are suitable for radiography so you’ll be fine in that sense! Good luck!
Hi again! Do you mean straight after completing this course or after completing a degree in nursing? I would say that most people would have to get a degree in nursing or midwifery to be able to work in those roles. If you are unsure If universities accept the BTEC applied science, it might help to make a short list of universities and call up their admissions team to ask them about their entry requirements. I hope that helps? ❤️
Out of curiosity how difficult are the btec exams compared to A-Levels, for instance is the content you need to learn for btec roughly the same for a level exam? And are a levels overall more difficulty exams compared to BTEC?
Josh Fairling Hey Josh! Thanks for your question! The exams are a bit of a mix. Some parts are slightly easier than A levels, most of it is similar and some parts are a higher level than the A levels. You should be able to access some past papers for free on the BTEC website to have a look at some questions to get a good idea. I would say that the A levels are a bit harder to achieve a higher grade in and part of the reason is that all of the topics end up being in a longer exam. For BTEC you have a fewer number of topics in shorter exams plus you get a chance to resit any exams you don’t quite achieve higher grades in. I hope that answers your question! 😀
@@BioTeachLondon Hi thanks for your response, I was luckily enough to complete the BTEC Extended diploma in Applied Science using the 2010 specification which included no exams. I do feel the exams are unnecessary in BTEC as most students chose btec simply to avoid exams.
Josh Fairling fair point! The course is still majority coursework so it’s still very suitable for those who don’t like exams or don’t perform well in them. Don’t quote me on this, but I think BTEC brought in the exams to bring the qualification more in line with A levels. So they are that little bit more robust I think. As a teacher on both the older qualification and the newer one, I strongly feel the newer one prepares students very well for university without being too daunting in terms of the exam based assessment. I definitely think the A levels and the exams at the end is more of a nerve wracking experience than the BTEC exams but of course it’s a matter of opinion and a students own experience.
@@BioTeachLondon Thanks for your reply, I'm guessing you need to pass the 4 external exams in order to get the overall Extended Diploma. Generally speaking, how do BTEC external exam grades work and what are the pass rates, if you don't mind me asking?
@@joshfairling6027 Hello! Loving your questions! Yes so students needs to at least pass all of the mandatory units (the exam units are mandatory) in order to achieve a grade. The BTEC exam grades are awarded according to grade boundaries which Pearson decide. They assign what the boundaries are for passes, merits and distinctions. They also have an "N" grade which basically means you were almost within the pass boundaries. The introduction of this N grade basically means that the pass rate is high for all of the exams. I think for the unit I teach, a student needs 8 marks out of 50 to achieve a N or a near pass. Anything below 8 marks would be a U grade. I hope that answers your question Josh! Thanks for sending that through :)
Hello! So the first year qualification is usually the foundation diploma. On its own, it isn’t enough to go to uni unless you already have some other A levels or UCAS points. I would always advise students to complete the two year course so that you can successfully apply to university.
Hi Shama, it can indeed. If you do the extended diploma and achieve high grades (DDD and higher) universities will certainly consider your application.
Does the btec applied science last 2 years? In my college it last 3 years , 1 year for level 2 , another year for a foundation year and another for level 3. I want to work as adult nurse, so if I do the degree in the university do I have to do a foundation year?
Hello! The extended diploma is two years if you have a full time study timetable. The foundation diploma is one year. The level 2 and level 3 will together be three years but if you have GCSEs that are grade 5 or above you shouldn’t need to do level 2. For nursing at uni, you’ll have to check which qualifications universities want. Some universities may not take BTEC students onto their first year so yes you could have to apply to foundation. Others may accept BTEC if you have high enough grades. Hope that helps!
Hey Arshillah! Thanks for the question! Yes indeed you can do optometry - You have to do the BTEC extended diploma and then apply to universities which accept the BTEC qualification. One of the students who I taught a few years ago actually applied to City University, Bradford Uni, UWE Bristol, Plymouth Uni, and Huddersfield so maybe contact them and ask to speak to someone in the Optom admissions team and ask them directly whether they accept the BTEC qualification without any other A levels. Good luck and let me know how you get on :)
Sawdah Mohamed hello! Thanks for your question! You’ll have to call up some universities to check if they accept it. The best thing to do is shortlist four universities and ask the admissions teams to make sure they accept that combination! Let me know what they say x
