I'd say psychology is better if youre going only for pharmacy because it has that science element to it but, if you want to keep your options as open as possible in case you possibly change your mind or dont get in, I would definitely pick computer science so you can keep your options as open as possible. Both subjects show great intelligence anyways :smile:

yes! It just has to be a very academic subject (e.g. psych or cs)
Here are the directly quoted subject requirements:

"We require grades ABB-AAB. This must include Chemistry, either Mathematics or Biology, and one further rigorous academic subject (we do not accept General Studies or Critical Thinking). You are required to obtain a pass in the practical element of any science A-level taken"

yes exactly!! If you're absolutely sure that you want to do pharmacy, the science aspect of psychology would be more useful to you. However, if you still want to keep your options open, pick computer science.
