pharmacy

would you be able to get into pharmacy with a Level 3 applied science / TLevel in college?
or can you be able to take : health&social care, ICT and psychology in Alevels?
as i am in college and taking Level 2 applied science and its for one year so i would need to choose what i would need to do next year.
also any Level 3 applied science people? hows the course?

Do you know which universities you'd be interested in? It would be worth checking their individual entry requirements as some may accept the Level 3 Applied Science on its own, whilst others might require an A-level in, for example, Chemistry.

I think the A-level choices you've listed would need to include a science, likely Chemistry, to go on and do Pharmacy.

Having said all of this, if you're happy to explore things like a Foundation Year prior to the degree then you could pick other subjects at Level 3 and opt for the Foundation Year if you still want to pursue Pharmacy later on.

But for better clarity, I'd check out a few university course requirements just to be safe.

english 5
science 3-3
maths 3
for maths i am re taking so if i get a 4 i am able to do the level 3 applied science
and my science grade, if i get a distinction in my overall grade for the applied science level 2 i could also possibly do the level 3 applied science

Your GCSE science grades are a major problem - even for a Pharmacy-with-Foundation course, Unis will be expecting far higher grades as evidence of your science ability, and to compensate for the lack of core science in the BTEC course.

You need to be realistic about this, and you may need to except that an MPharm is not possible given your science ability. Working in a Pharmacy however is still possible: Pharmacy Apprenticeships: What you need to know | Careermap
