Failed foundation year

I am doing MPharm with foundation. I marginally failed my chemistry module, now the university won't let me continue.
They are offering me to transfer courses (biomedical sciences, pharmacology, biochemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry).

My results were definitely affected (due to personal reasons) which I told the uni. Also considering I never had a single lecture at the uni as everything was pretty much online, they still said that they won't accept me for the course. The resit results were given so late, I had no time to think about other options (like transferring unis).

I need some advice as to what I should do. I really want to do pharmacy.
Should I transfer courses for now, and see if I can get back in to Mpharm next year? should I take a gap year and resit my chemistry module?

Guys please help, I don't know what to do. I wasn't expecting to fail, I only my chem module by a few marks.

thanks in advance

Hi
Would it be possible for you to resit your alevels so you don’t need to apply for a foundation year?

If you don’t have the right alevels can you still ask to resist your foundation year? I’d highly suggest calling admissions
If you’re going to spend another year doing a foundation year, why not just take the alevel as you would have some knowledge of chemistry
Hope this helps

What did you get in a level? Rather resit them then doing a degree you don't want to do. Would you be retaking chem module during gap year? If not no point taking year out. Idk what uni you're in but mine doesn't allow transfers to pharmacy
