Pharmacy Degree Enquiries

Hello, I'm currently in a bit of a predicament. I'm wanting to do Pharmacy however I am currently doing a Pharmacology degree; I've just started year 2 which I will hopefully complete so I'm looking to start Pharmacy next year. My biggest worry is that although I have an Access to HE Science diploma I fear as though the certificate's shelf life has ran out (that is what I've been told about the Access to HE certificates). So I'm not sure if that would be enough to get me into doing a Pharmacy degree.

I would hope Universities would consider Year 1 of Pharmacology I have completed and Year 2 which will be completed. But again I'm not sure if that would be enough to get into Pharmacy because I know how competitive Pharmacy is.

If anyone has any advice and guidance then that would truly help me out so much because I'm stuck on what to do and feel as though my qualifications is not enough. Thank you.

What grade did you get last year? And what do you expect to achieve this year?

Hello! Do you mean what overall grade I got for first year for my Pharmacology degree? If so then I'm not quite sure, it wasn't the best I must admit; probably somewhere from 50%-60% but that is a guess. I'm hoping to achieve a much better mark for second year.

Madam, as you had already gotten your access to higher education, and are doing pharmacology degree. You no longer need to worry. Whoever has achieved access to he degree, which takes them a 1 year gap to get into university otherwise they needed to retake it. In conclusion, you don’t need to be worried about that.
