subjects to get into pharmacy

can i get into pharmacy without chemistry or any science? or do i have to do a science in order to get unto pharmacy?

Pharmacy is essentially 'applied-Chemistry' so if you aren't doing A Level Chem because you don't like Chem, then you might need to rethink this as both a course and a career. And most MPharm courses will also require a second science - including Foundation years.

There are other ways of 'working in a Pharmacy' -
pharmacy jobs - NHS Jobs
Pharmacy Apprenticeship - Day Lewis Pharmacy
