Perhaps we could invent a degree called "Forensic Pharmacy" in the UK? After all "Forensic" science degrees are the only ones getting any decent funding these days (waiting with baited glee for the day the forensic bubble bursts.)
After all it exists en masse in the US already:
Forensic Pharmacist
So why not flood the limited UK market with a few more thousand graduates armed with entirely useless degrees? Which conveniently won't meet "US standards" for approval there. I'm not saying people at university are wasting their time and having it easy but; these universities are blatantly ignoring how many jobs will be avaliable within the next few years. Likely a fraction of the number of graduates thats for sure.
Then the obscene profit-driven universities might realise that tuition-fee and subsidy chasing has cost them dear; and that it will never make-up for the economic loss they made for selling the useful Science faculties and their decent degrees down the river. I could count the number of English universities offering a degree in pure Chemistry in single figures as of last year.
