Can I transfer to a different uni for pharmacy ?

I got into the university of Wolverhampton for mPharm through clearing as my results were pretty bad CCD, the D was in chemistry. Is it possible to complete the first year at Wolverhampton and transfer to a Russel group university based on my performance? I don't mind doing the first year again at the different university. I really don't want to resit my A-levels as I am already 21 years old. Any advice please?

Hi! I got into UoW through clearing this year with BCD (D in chemistry too) but they wouldn't let me do MPharm and instead put me into pharmacology I've been trying to move into MPharm but I was told they don't allow students with Ds in chem. I came across your post and now I feel like I've been treated unfairly by admissions staff

Hey

Im in a similar situation and really don’t want to resit a levels. I’ve emailed countless RG unis and a lot seem to ask for quite high grades BCC(notts) BBB(manny) CCC(aston) B in chem for brum .They almost always don’t allow year 2 transfers so yh you’d probably have to do year 1 again. However I’ve been reading into a thread from a couple years ago and there seems to be hope if you excel with a score of maybe 70%+ I’d say you should go on the pharmacy page of the unis you are interested in and email them to let them know your situation. Let your current uni know too and see if they can help you drop a ucas application in also.

The link to the thread that gave me the slightest bit of hope:

Just give first year your all and hope it works out for u xx

Hiii!
I got BCC in my a levels and was wondering how recently you asked Nottingham? I’d love to apply there because I am not at all enjoying the university I am currently attending. Did they say BCC for foundation or the normal MPharm course? Please let me know, ironically this has given me a lot of hope since I didn’t think the universities accepted below BBB, especially Nottingham. If we could talk more about this I’d be grateful

I hope everything works out for you too!

heyy,

I only asked a month or two ago so you should be good! Here’s what they said exactly:

Please be advised in order to be eligible to transfer from a foundation course to the MPharm program at University of Nottingham, an applicant would need to have achieved minimum BCC in the first sitting of the level 3 (A-level) qualifications. Unfortunately, we would not be able to encourage an application for transfer based on level 3 qualifications lower than this.

Glad this gives you hope and i think you can definitely make it, anymore questions u can drop me a dm!

Good luckk x

That’s greatt!! Is it only available for foundation transfers though?

Few if any Unis permit MPharm transfers because of course structure being different at each Uni - you must have covered the whole 'course' for GPhC registration purposes and that gets difficult if you switch between Unis.
AND - it doesnt matter where you train as a Pharmacist because all courses are essentially 'the same' as they are all accredited by the GPhC, and train you to be 'a Pharmacist'. The NHS will never ask 'which Uni' - and neither will your future patients/customers. So get over all 'RG snottiness' - its mindless.

Hi currently in a similar situation studying pharmacy at the University of Wolverhampton.my alevel grades were ABB and was wondering if you made any progress switching universities or if you're still here.
