I'm taking a BTEC in september but I was looking at university websites and it said that I needed an A level alongside it to get on the specific course that I want.

Is this possible to do? I already got accepted onto my BTEC course so at enrolment do I just ask if I can do an A level alongside it?

can you even do that? 3 a levels and a btec, someone said you cant :/ beacuse i swear a btec is equvialient to two A levels which means that its double the time, and there aint enough school hours in a week to do that?
