Pharmacy Schools

To get into research/pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer does it matter where you graduate from necessarily?? I’m currently doing pharmacy in a lower ranked pharmacy school and I am given offer for bath - should I redo technically my first year and start in bath or continue where I am at now and go into second year! Bath is really attractive for me right now as there is an opportunity to study abroad but the same time the amount of student debt I’ll be in is not appealing…help!! What would you do?

If you want to do into 'research' you need to be taking Pharmacology or Drug Discovery, not Pharmacy :
Choosing between Pharmacy and Pharmacology (bath.ac.uk). Bath would probably still allow you to switch degrees at this stage if you ask them.

can't give advice on anything else. but don't worry about the student debt. you'll never be able to pay it off with 4 years for mpharm. the more you borrow the better off you are. just the way the interest works.
