Until now ..no. But don't you think that getting 70 % in Chemistry and Math in order to pass the foundation and get to year 1 of pharmacy is a hard task?

Yes it's very hard that's why I've decided to go for biomedical science at de Montfort uni. They want 60% in order the get onto the first year of Pharmacy and they also have lower entry requirements for Biomedical science.

and why do you think it is too hard? how is the 70% divided?is it all based on examinations? I am not familiar with the UK exam's system.
Biomedical science? but I think there are other easier foundation programmes (mostly for international students) that can get to Pharmacy school upon a successful year completion? Are you home student or international student?
