How can i get into university (England) without sufficient qualifications?

I did a Sport course at (UK) college, but now i would like to do psychology at University, but how? Considering i have already done a course at college how am i going to get on the course? I am considered a mature student now, so i don’t want to waste time with more studying.

Without the entry qualifications you won’t get into uni. An alternative to A-levels is an Access course. They take one year & are A-level equivalent. http://www.accesstohe.ac.uk/ You may see another year of study as a waste of time but if you are that keen to get to uni you will do whatever it takes to get there.

Without A-Levels or equivalents relevant to Psychology, no university will give you a place
You would need to take an A Level in Psychology first and possibly an A Level in English too, to stand a chance in getting on to a university psychology course.

Competition for places at universities are tough, there aren’t enough places to go around for all the people with relevant qualifications, so you’ve not got a chance. A Levels don’t cost a lot to do and it’s only 2 years, 1 year if you find a place to do a quick A Level

From my research it seems near enough impossible to study psychology at university without having studied something related at college (A Level or Diploma). It seems one way or another you will have to go back to college.
