Year zero

Hi my firm offer for pharmacy was AAB hi ever im not sure if my exams results are going to be enough so i was wondering if on results day the university could give me the option of going to year zero or would i have to wait to see if theres spaces during clearing. Any information would be helpful. Thank youuu

If you don't get those grades you'll have to go via clearing (but based on other ppl's advice, pls call the uni if it says 'awaiting decision' on UCAS).
There are many skls around england that will do mpharm + foundation year but make sure to go for unis that are accredited by the GPhC.

I'm in the same position as you except I need CDD and I think i'll get CDE lol so im hoping the unis will be kind

Hi there! 😊

The universities you're applying to should have an admissions email/phone number available on their website, which you can contact - they can explain if there's a foundation year availble or any other type of pathway to get to the course in the event of you missing your offer!

for me, when I applied to uni my condition to complete a maths summer access program and then I was let in based on passing that. - which I didnt even know was an option until It was my condition lol! (:

Theres loads of routes into higher education so try not to stress (I know easier said than done!) - also by contacting them directly they can take into account any personal circumstances etc.

Hope this helps!, good luck with exams!! <3
