Pharmacy is a completely different field to ****ing medicine. Come on! I hate to be grouchy but can you not see how ridiculous this question is?!

I was content fobbing the OP off with "You'd be better off asking Nottingham", but to be honest Beska you pretty much vocalised my thoughts right there.

No.

Even if they do let some people transfer in it would most likely only be 1 or 2 people (so really it would be more competitive than taking a gap year and reapplying as an undergrad), and I can't see why they would be choosing pharmacy students over biomedical science or molecular medicine students.

University of Nottingham FAQs

Q: Can I transfer into the Nottingham medical course (A100) from a biochemistry degree course?

A: No. The university does not allow any transfers into the medical course from any other course. If you wish to apply for medicine after starting a biochemistry, or any other, course you would have to apply via UCAS in the normal way, or alternatively apply to a Graduate Entry Medical (GEM) course, which you would start after graduating with your biochemistry degree. Nottingham University has a GEM course at the Medical School situated in Derby, but you have to apply for this course via UCAS; there are no guaranteed places for Nottingham graduates. Nevertheless, a biochemistry degree would be excellent preparation for any medical course.

Apparently transfers are possibly from Bradford to Leeds, although not a huge number transfer, and not from a pharmacy course.

University of Bradford website

* Clinical Sciences ( with an option to transfer to MBChB at Leeds after 1 year)
* Foundation in Clinical Sciences/Medicine (with an option to transfer to MBChB at Leeds)

Yes, that's generally how it works. You can also transfer into Law at Oxford if you wish.

Ok, but you should consider that if you aren't able to transfer (which is possible, as a lot of students on the course will have a transfer in mind) then you'll be stuck doing a degree that you don't necessarily want to do, and without biology you will have to apply for the foundation year.
