What happens if you do not pass, do you have to retake the year, or do you get kicked off the course?

This app really confuses me I thought I sent a reply,I'll send it again. He was really nice and it was quite chill, 6 questions he asked, 1 of them was a scenario, another one was to talk about a topic in chem or bio for 2 minutes, the other question was why pharmacy, if i remember it was like split into two questions, maybe it was something like "why pharmacy and not medicine" the scenario was pretty easy, you just have to talk about what you'd do in that situation and that's all I remember since my interview was ages ago, wishing you the best <3
