How often do you have to attend classes? And are they all compulsory?
I was predicted ABC and got an offer of AAB and I also attended the open days. So if I end up getting ABB or BBB is there a chance they'll still let me study pharmacy at Aston?
Can I switch or transfer after first year if I don't enjoy the course?

Hey guys. For pharmacy, does the university care about the subject you get the grade in? For example, if I get ABB in different subjects than they asked (A in psychology), are they more bothered about the grades or the subject you get the grade in? Hope that makes sense.

The grades will depend on if they are places left, you meet the target you are guaranteed a place.However if you dont meet the grades, it will depend on the school if they have any places left.

As for getting accepted into the university, I myself ended up with a BBB when i needed an ABB for my course and was accepted, it simply depends on a combination of how popular your course is and the competition of applicants for places, i can only wish you the best of luck for Thursday.
Finally i have known friends of mine change their course after the first year but certain schools may want to see specific evidence of your capabilities before they let you switch, others may want you to start from scratch if you switch and be a first year again, which is not the worst thing in the world, you are covered for four years of student loan.
Hope that helps, any further questions do not hesitate to ask.

Attendance demands vary from module to module, some operate very loosely and you can catch up on lectures using Blackboard, others however will give marks for participation you will earn 10% of your module grade for showing up, so it's a mixed bag.

Lectures are optional, but labs, seminars and practicals are compulsory.
