Getting into pharmacy
I am currently in S5 and I am thinking of doing pharmacy at Strathclyde.
I am currently sitting higher Maths, English, Physics and Biology and national 5 chemistry. I am predicted A’s in all of these. I’m picking advanced higher biology and physics, higher chemistry and a YASS course for S6.
Is there any chance of me getting into second year without advanced higher chemistry and if not, do I qualify for first year?

Hiya! The email address for the Pharmacy team is [email protected] if you want to drop them a wee message.
Normally we don't make offers for Year 1 entry as the normal starting point for the course is Year 2 so generally this isn't an option. We usually require 2 Advanced Highers and Chemistry and Biology are the preferred ones. I'd double check with the Pharmacy admissions team at the above email if they'd be likely to consider you if you took another AH in a relevant area (e.g. Physics/Maths) alongside the Higher Chemistry.
As there's only 2 places in Scotland where you can do Pharmacy we're very competitive for entry so I'd definitely recommend checking this soon so you know how to plan your S6.
Good luck!
