Hi there @Emma9272 ! It's great to hear that you are interested in Pharmacy, and passionate about pursuing it further!
Every University is different; at DMU we offer a Pharmacy Year Zero, when our Admissions team are able to, for applicants that might not have the typical achievements that match up to our Entry Criteria
My best advice would be to look a the Universities' Course Pages, for all the institutions you're browsing on their main website(s), to look at their Pharmacy courses and if they have a similar related course such as a Year Zero or Foundation year! The Entry Criteria are nearly always listed and a general rough idea of what is needed is a Level 3 qualification and GCSEs - but every path to Uni is different. If in doubt giving the Admissions team or the general Enquiries team a call, for a Uni you are interested in, can help find a source to guide you through next steps!
If a Foundation course is offered to you when you apply to a Pharmacy programme, it may just be to give you a year to adapt to the programme before going onto Pharmacy. Foundation years can give you extra time and space to really grow - a little adjustment time before-hand which can be really helpful to settle in!
