From Pharmacy Technician Apprenticeship to Pharmacist – Advice Needed
Hi everyone,
I’m 18 and currently doing a pharmacy technician apprenticeship. I’ll probably finish when I’m around 20, but lately I’ve been thinking about becoming a pharmacist instead.
I did a BTEC Applied Science course and got MMM. I’m just unsure what the route into university would be from here. Are there any access courses or foundation years that would help me get onto an MPharm degree?
I’m also worried that if I wait until I’m 21 to start university it might be too late, although maybe I’m overthinking it. I just don’t really want to feel stuck as a pharmacy tech long term because I’ve heard progression can be limited.
Has anyone here gone from pharmacy technician/apprenticeship into pharmacy at university? Any advice or experiences would really help.
Thanks :)
