I'm almost certain you would need chemistry though.

Are there any other ways of getting into pharmacy without doing chemistry?

I very much doubt it. Unless you do a foundation year or something.

Yeah, 100% with those subjects you can't do pharmacy. Maube consider the foundation year or apply in 2017 and do chemisty AS at least next year?

Hello!

You absolutely need a chemistry A level at grade C or above to study an Mpharm programme straight out of college. The only "foundation" course my university offers also requires a C in chemistry!

Actually pretty much everyone here has completely ignored Keele. They would consider you provided your predicted grades were adequate (link here: http://www.keele.ac.uk/ugcourses/pharmacy/ )

We require 3 A-levels including either Chemistry or Biology. Our course is structured in a manner which allows us to accommodate this. If both Chemistry and Biology have been studied, both subjects will be included in any offer made.
