Is there any chance i can get into University (England) this year without A levels?
I don’t have any A levels, so is there any chance i can still get into University this year?
Well, I’m going to assume you don’t have A-level equivilants? (Level 3 BTEC’s, NVQ’s, International Baccalaurette, etc) Because if you have A-level equivilants, you can still gain admission to university.
However, if you don’t have any good pre-university qualifications, you stand very little chance of even getting on a Foundation Year unless you’re 20+ and had regular employment or done AS or A levels. Even into the ex-polytechnic (post 1992) universities.
So no, I’m afraid you wouldn’t get into university this year. Sorry. Even if you did, you wouldn’t have the neccessary preperation to handle a degree-level course anyway.
If you want to go to University and you’re a Mature Student, then contact a local College about getting put on a AHE course (Access to Higher Education), or if you’re 16-19 then contact a College about doing A-levels or another Level 3 course (A-levels are vital for getting into good universities, though. To do A-levels and most Level 3 courses you need 5 x A*-C grades at GCSE – preferably with Maths/English too, as Universities require this.
Most university courses have A-levels as part of the admission criteria, but you may be able to get onto some courses by doing a foundation course first. You’d have to look more closely at the subject you want to study and the individual institution you want to go to. It may also be relevant whether you don’t have A-levels because you went another route, or because you took and failed them.
You are however leaving it a bit late to start applying, most offers of places (conditional on A-level results) will have already been made.
Essentially, it may not be impossible, but I don’t particularly rate your chances.

Hi Mike
BBC is reporting that 250,000 students who applied to university this year will not get a spot. Without the requisite A-Level I very much doubt you will get a place this year.
