Pharmacology foundation year with possibility of the transfer to mpharm

Hello,
I'm an Irish leaving cert student who was given an unconditional offer to study pharmacology or pharmaceutical science at Wolverhampton with the possibility to transfer to mpharm if I receive an average of 75% in all modules.

Could anyone let me know if that's a result that's actually attainable or is it well too hard to achieve.

Also would anyone know which of the two (pharmacology or pharmaceutical science) would be easier to achieve that result in.

Hi I'm in the exact same situation as you, the university of wolverhampton has given me an offer to study pharmacology then to transfer to mpharm. I only want to do pharmacology if its guaranteed I can transfer to mpharm.

I'm pretty sure it's basically guaranteed, I've just heard that it's nearly impossible to actually attain that 65% average in every module and I'm looking for some answers on whether or not that's true

A 70% would be first class honours, foundation pharmacology actually requires 75% to progress on to mpharm pharmacy compared to the 65% that is required for level 4 entry pharmacology.
