Pharmacy degree

Unsure whether to accept my offer of pharmacy. Not managed to get on a medicine course. Thoughts on those currently or have completed. I’m not interested in being a pharmacist in a shop.

It all depends on you and what do you want. They are many things you cab do with a pharmacy degree that's not a pharmacist. Like working in the lab, I think hat takes more schooling. But yh they are many options.
But at the same time don't do a course if you don't enjoy the course . It's 4 year don't do something you going to hate and make those 4 years horrible.
Are you okay with a gap year?
If your head set for medicine then maybe that's the thing to do gap year increase your experience and knowledge for next year?
Or is ucas extra still avaliable as like a last resort.

I wish you well
