Aston University foundation year?

So I wanted to do a foundation year for pharmacy or optometry at Aston university because I didn't do A-level chemistry and I'm unsure if I'll get the grade for the optometry course. I'm doing A-level Biology, A-level Physics, and A-level sociology.you could try I kept checking the aston university website this year (when I was in year 12) and they had foundation courses for optometry and pharmacy but now all of a sudden this month they're gone. Does anyone know if they will come back or if they've completely got rid of them?

hiya its still on the website im literally on the same boat as you looking for foundation for both pharmacy and optometry and i have found it
