Can I switch from a pharmaceutical science degree to a MPharm degree

I didnt quite meet the grades to study pharmacy at sunderland university so I decided to apply to pharmaceutical science instead at the same uni through clearing. I was initially going to pick the one with an integrated foundation year, but got given the normal 3 year without the foundation year because my grades meet the requirement (96 points). However i just found out that if I did the foundation year I would've been able to switch to pharmacy if I successfully completed the foundation year. I would like to know if im still able to switch to pharmacy even with the normal 3 year pharmaceutical science course.

I would contact Sunderland directly explaining that is what you want to do and they will be able to advise on how this will work.

Not unless you repeat Year 1. Pharmacy is an accredited professional course with a set syllabus and required placements. You wont have covered the required material etc with Pharmacology.
