What GCSES do I need for mpharm at the russel groups

Hi all,
I was wondering what gcses i needed for mpharm at unis like kings, ucl and bath. My gcses were not that great but I do meet the minimum requirements for all the unis so I was just wondering if It's as competitive as courses like medicine where you need atleast all 8-9s to get into a london uni.
Thanks!

Hi @takeda

From my understanding universities do not put a lot of weight on your GCSEs, the only ones that matter are your Maths and English, which both need to be at a level 5 or above.

In terms of A-levels however, the majority of MPharm courses require chemistry and at least one other science (biology, physics and maths), so do keep this in mind when choosing your A-levels.

Hope this helps, if you have any further questions do ask!
