Risky applying to Birmingham for Pharmacy?

I have an offer at Birmingham and love the uni in general.
The pharmacy course is still new there and I'm scared to firm it incase, in the long run the course isn't successful despite it being a russell group uni.

Why wouldn't it be successful?

Birmingham isn't the only Pharmacy school that is provisionally accredited right now - Durham, Lincoln, and Sussex aren't fully accredited either and won't be until their first MPharm cohorts have graduated.

Birmingham's at Step 4 (out of 7), and a Pharmacy school must be at Step 3 or above in order for them to allow students onto the course - it wouldn't have gotten to this point if it wasn't well structured. If you have your heart set on this uni then I'd say go for it!
