Okay, so I'm currently a 16 (almost 17- great!) year old student studying my A Levels. Courses that I study are; Chemistry, Biology, History and Threatre Studies. Yes, they may sound like a little bit of a strange mixture but I am not intending to continue my studies for theatre next year. Let's just say it's not quite what I expected. Additionaly, I work part-time at our local pharmacy where I'm wading through Buttercup's dispensing course (already completed NPA Pharmacy Assistant's course and a series of courses within the company).
Sorry I am trying hard to try and prevent this from sounding like 'This is your life'. Basically, I was just wondering what kind of information you guys could pass on with regards to the course, universities, pharmacy once qualified and anything that you feel may benefit me. I have researched into this a fair bit but I thought perhaps it would be useful for a little more information.
In advance, thankyou  . Also, sorry that it's quite lengthy. Of course I don't really expect a reply any time soon as it's Easter Sunday/Bank holiday Monday. Hope ya'll had a good Easter!

Whilst you do not have the traditional 3 science A-levels I don't think that just having two sciences will be much of a bar on attending most universities to study pharmacy. Chemistry's the important one.
But really....WHY do you want to study pharmacy? Do you enjoy your part-time job? Would you really like to do a glorified version of your part-time job for the rest of your life? Are you just thinking of applying for pharmacy because 'you have the relevant A-levels and work experience' and you think it's a guarenteed option? Talk to the pharmacists you work with and ask them for their opinions. Whilst 'job security' has always been a main pro for the career this cannot be said forever.
