Just a clarification pharmacy is quite competitive itself but maybe the 2 Uni's stated aren't

yeah, if you meet the gcse grade requirements you can easily get in, given u also have good a level predicted.
u are unlikely to get in if u need a 5 but have a 4 in maths unless u have like an A or A* predicted in a-level maths (if u take it in the future)

Hi,

Fab to hear you are thinking of Kingston!

As it currently stands the answer is yes!
Currently the entry requirements for 2026 are a 4 or above in GCSE maths and English.
For the a-levels it is a minimum of grade B, with two science subjects including chemistry needed.
There are also other routes you can take after high school, you can find all the info about entry requirements through the link https://www.kingston.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/pharmacy-mpharm-hons

Hope this helps and if you have any questions feel free to ask :smile:

Hi @sunshxinesss

Which vocational course did you complete/plan to complete? if you’re referring to BTEC Applied science for example, then we look for DDD with A-level chemistry grade B.

Hope this help, feel free to ask anything else😊
