Ok, that's also an option. So besides economics, and pharmacy, have you considered any other options? I would definitely assess the pros and cons of both courses, and also find out which courses are available to you given your A level performance, and the subjects you are taking. Then decide on which course you want to take. Its definitely not an easy decision to make, but good luck. Also I know that if you go ahead and study pharmacy, and find its not to your liking, you could drop out in your first year, reapply for economics and be eligible for student finance. However I'm not sure whether you would be able to do this the other way round, study economics and switch to pharmacy, as pharmacy is a longer degree. This is worth considering.
