Courses at ucl chemistry pharmacy

Hi I'm going into year 13 and I like the idea of ucl but I'm not sure which course to choose I was initially looking into pharmacy but I don't quite meet the gcse requirements my favourite a level is chemistry but I'm concerned that there are not a lot of job opportunities available even though I would enjoy the degree Im just not sure what course I should do or if there are any similar courses at ucl .How strict are ucl about GCSEs because I would prefer to apply to pharmacy but I don't want to get instantly rejected if I don't meet requirements my GCSEs are 988777754 I'm predicted A star A A and hopefully an A for EPQ

The jobs seem to require a willingness and ability to move to any part of UK, with less jobs then university places in London.

GCSE requirements are "hard" requirements - if you don't meet them you will be automatically rejected.

Equally unless you actually want to be a pharmacist you shouldn't be aiming to do a pharmacy degree. It's designed for that one purpose really.

Chemistry has as good employment opportunities as any other degree. Most graduates go into roles unrelated to their degree and most graduate employers don't care what degree you studied. The world isn't school, nobody really cares what you studied in the end unless they require specialist knowledge (e.g. a role doing advanced mathematical modelling of something would require requisite numerate skills) or a specifically accredited degree (e.g. more healthcare professions, many engineering roles, professional psychology roles etc).
