What nationality are you?

You say you live in France, have part Swedish ancestry, but what nationality do you hold?

This will affect whether you can live in the UK at any age.

So what are you actually asking?

UK school leaving age is 16, i.e. education is only compulsory to 16. But, over sixteen you could go to school to do A levels.

Hi, If you are a British Citizen then you can live in the UK on your own here is a good site for more info: https://www.childline.org.uk
You are entitled to education for free up to the age of 19, you can study anything from GCSE's (usually Maths ,English, Science) and also Btecs in various subjects, A levels, and courses i.e. Beauty, Hairdressing and other apprenticeships. Do you have any idea what you would like to "do" in the UK? Take care

Hi, your dissatisfaction with living in France is none of our businees, but aren't you doing the Bac after all? In your other threads you intended to wait until you were 18, with Bac in hand....

finish your bac in France, that's your best option and then get into a UK university. or had you considered the Netherlands?

What did you want to study?

with a French BacS at a decent grade (14+) you'll be fine.

Do you know where you would like to study? Which science?

Also, that may not be possible if they vote EU out as it seems British expats in the EU will be deported or screwed.

I've looked into conversion, a good university like York only asks for 12.
14 is more than decent, though.
