According to ranking lists for pharmacy schools in the UK, Aston and Brighton are pretty much the same standard, though Aston leads slightly or by a few places in most lists.

Trust me for a OSPAP, it really makes not much of a difference if you go by Ranking. Since you will be doing lot of stuff crammed in just under 9 months, and all the modules are almost same everywhere. Most importantly no one really asks you from where you did your OSPAP. All that will be important is to get a good pre-reg placement and pass the registration exam. In my opinion RGU is the best with all improved and latest technology in teaching. Drawbacks are they are more Scotland oriented in terms of legal and public health issues, though they do teach you about the other places in the UK. It all depends on your current circumstances and affordability.
