Hi,

I’d recommend checking individual university course websites, as entry requirements can vary, and contacting the admissions team if you’re unsure.

For our MPharm programme, the entry requirements state:
“Access awards Acceptable on their own or combined with other qualifications. Applicants must achieve a Distinction in all graded Level 3 Access programme modules, and Biology and Chemistry must be covered.”

You can find further details on our website

If you have any questions about pharmacy or university life, please feel free to ask.

Probably only at a Uni with the same entry requirements as Huddersfield, because that is the level that your Foundation aims to get you to. Unis asking for higher grades will not want to accept someone with lower level qualifications than their own first years, especially since they are very aware that many Foundation years skimp on Chemistry.

And btw, it doesnt matter where you train as a Pharmacist - its a set syllabus and leads to exactly the same qualification. The NHS wont care where you trained - and you future patients/customers won't ask.
