Everyone will have their own opinion on what is a good university. I would suggest looking on the websites for each uni to see if you can find any specifications about their course and how the course is laid out. If you can, go and look round the uni as this may give you a good idea if you will be happy there. you're spending 4 years of your life there, so its important to feel comfortable.

Have a look at the last two years of the degree programme as this will tell you if the course is more clinically or scientifically based. Universities such as Liverpool (LJMU) and Preston (UCLan) get you doing practice and clinical work early on. However, some universities like Nottingham are not well known for their clinical aspect.

Having predicted grades of ABB should be okay for most of the Schools of Pharmacy. However, make sure you check their websites to see what their normal offers are as the grade requirements have been increasing over the past few years.

Have a look on UCAS. Most unis offer ABB, higher unis (like Bath) offer AAB, some (like DMU, Postsmouth etc) offer BBB

Any variety of the above would be suitable for you. You have good scope for achieveing.

Last year i got CCD AS levels and I got predicted ACC (don't ask how I got predicted an A for a subject I got a C in :s-smilie:

)

Its personal preference really, No-one can tell you what is good or not as, like TigerSwift said, everyones opinion on a good university is different. Look online, order a few prospectus' and go to open days if pposs to hel with your decision. I would be quick though, You need to apply quickish to pharmacy, not wait until the deadline if poss

Good luck!

If you are confident on getting the B in A2 Chem, then the ones I recommend as good choices, are Brighton, Portsmouth and Reading.
