Hello!
Congratulations on the unconditional offer, that is amazing news!
Currently, there are no changes to finances or to immigration status for EU students studying at the University of Reading in September 2017 as a result of Brexit. For more information, here is the link to the University website with information for EU students:
http://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/international-and-eu/eu-referendum-info-for-eu-nationals.aspxMy housemate studies Pharmacy and is really enjoying it. In your first year, you have 3 modules (pharmacy, biology and chemistry) of which you have to achieve a 40% pass mark in each module. You also will have various tests throughout the year, a Pharmaceutical calculations test (you get lots of mock exams for this and the ability to resit throughout the year) and in Spring term you have an exam which includes dispensing, prescriptions and lab skills.
Each week you will have tutorials, lectures, workshops and practical sessions (where you are able to put to use your screening and prescription dispensing skills, for this you wear smart dress). Your timetable may be 9-6 some days (with a 1 hour lunch break) but this will change each week so is often less.
At Reading, the course is very integrated, so you cover all aspects of pharmacy such as Pharmacology and Pharmaceutics.
As regards to the pre-registration course, I am unsure but I will get back to you on an answer as soon as I find out!
Hope this all helps you and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
