Don't think so. You could look on UCAS now and see what universities have vacancies now for MPharm. Won't obviously be an exact prediction, but does show if a course is full or not. Nottingham appears to be as it isn't showing vacancies. But ... why are you set on Nottingham? Yes, they trade on their history, but there are redundancies and cost cutting going on, and this might impact the MPharm. And they run a big, big cohort. MPharm is not the easiest of degrees, some people prefer a more personal experience. Also, remember any accredited GPharmC course is basically the same. No one will stand in front of you in a pharmacy with their spotty child and demand to know where you did your degree.
