Desperatley need help ..pharmacology to pharmacy!!

i guess your right about accepting people doing pharmacology at their uni compared to elsewhere..didnt think of that...i dont really want to redo my A levels but just work hard at doing well in the first year and if i dont get a place at kings or LSOP, kingston does pharmacy...*sigh* i want to be realistic but have some hope...thanks

hi iam going to do pharmacology course and i asked to make it join with chemistry
isnt it a good course or not plz tell me


suha

means i changed the course from pharmacology to pharmacology and chemistry joint subject
is it a good course to study and in career

Ah shame mate, sorry to hear that. Know what you mean with poor A levels though, im a good student but i went through a load of depression and personal problems when in 6th form and lost the motivation to study so got crap grades. Ended up going to heriot watt for 2 years, got good grades when my mood changed and now been accepted to Edinburgh University straight in to 3rd year. Doing pharmacology :P I dont see why everyone always says its a bad degree to do, its a difficult science and there are jobs in pharmaceutical companies researching drugs. personally i think thats a rewarding job to help advance medicine, id rather do that then just give out prescriptions to people in a pharmacy in boots.

No idea how to transfere to pharmacy myself sorry, but you never know, you may enjoy your course. Work hard and get good grades this time around.

Pharmacists don't just give out drugs, if we get employed in industry we can do a hell lot more than a pharmacologist. It's a bad degree as there is no future and jobs.

i applied for pharmacy but my grades werent good enough in fact they were bad so today feels like the worst day of my life *sigh*...i applied through clearing and luckily managed to gain a place for pharmacology at kingston...i had offers from kings and lSOP but wwas obviously unsuccesfull so today was just a complete shock for me...couldnt stop crying ..i know im not the only one thats had to deal with dissapointment.I'v always been a good student and i let my personal problems effect my grades and no one is to blame but me...sorry to keep going on like this but i need some advice based on experience or from someone you know...i'm hoping to do really well in the first year for pharmacology, enough to tranfer for pharmacy and its been done at kingston but i was wondering would I have a good chance of getting into pharmacy for kings and LSOP..i had my heart set on one of them and i know i wont let anything ruin how well i can do for the first year of pharmacology...are my chances low?

I've seen you troll the forum for the past few days, most of the time you don't even know what you're talking about it. I suggest you stop demoralising the naive individuals who come on here seeking some guidance.

Hey everything is going to be ok, it isn't the end of the world.

Pharmacology is an excellent degree, there's so much things you could do with the degree i.e get into research or do further study within the area or if you want to broaden your horizon you could do graduate medicine or dentistry.

To be frank it's always going to be difficult to transfer from one university to the other, if you have your heart set on studying pharmacy I'd recommend trying to get onto the pharmacy degree at Kingston. I've heard they have a strong pharmacy society there and the pharmacy department is jointly run by them and St Georges medical school. If you insist on trying to transfer to another uni try giving them a call and talking though your options.

So to sum it up you seem like a motivated individual who has learned from their past mistakes some I think if you put in the hard work you can do it.

Good luck.
