University opinions of online A Levels

[BL4CKB0X97]

Hi

I am going to be getting my A levels through an Online service, as no college in my area does over age A-levels.

I started my A levels in sixth form but got hospitalised through illness for a few months. Never got to finish because of it and when I got out I was still to ill to return. Now I'm mostly fixed I'm eager to return to education after a couple of years out.

I am planning to do a Physics degree, but am cautious of what universities will think of self taught A-levels? Do you think it might lose me a space, even if the grades are good enough?(the exams are with Aqa, so the same as those you would get in school)

Thanks

for your help!It is possible that universities may view your A-level qualifications differently depending on how they are acquired. Most universities will probably be more interested in the quality of your work rather than how you acquired the qualification. However, it's important to make sure you can explain your qualifications clearly when applying, and that you can provide evidence of your academic achievements if necessary. It is also important to demonstrate that you have the self-motivation and dedication to study independently. With good grades and a strong personal statement, you should be able to make a successful application regardless of your A-level qualifications being online.
