Rejected for studying medicine and offered pharmacy with foundation year

I'd also be very very sure in what you want to go into.

I was offered Healthcare Science when I couldn't get into Vet Med, and now I'm here, on another gap year with debt for a course I don't want to do. It's really not fun, and not worth the stress to pick something you don't want to do

Graduate entry is incredibly expensive as well, and very hard to get in to. It's definitely an option and not impossible if you are willing, but you would need to contact the universities to see their requirements. What exact qualifications do you have ifyou don't mind me asking?

You know as my culture as Africans we have got very strict parents and also thanks for your advice I would look through again. But don't you think instead of staying at home I could just do that foundation year and dirt myself out for medicine during that time

The qualifications I have got are GCSE grades A-C including maths, English and science but that science is biology only. I did a Btec extended diploma in health and social care. It's quite rear to see a university that will offer a student with my grades it's just a try if luck through the foundation years.

You mean apply for medicine once you've completed the Pharmacy foundation year? You could in theory, but there is absolutely no guarantee that a university would consider it, plus you'd lose a year of your student finance entitlement. Far too risky in my opinion.

There are extended year courses I think?
For disadvantaged students, of those that don't have the usual sciences for A level. They are called gateway programmes and last the 6 years instead of 5, I know its there for veterinary but it's worth checking if that exists for medicine.
