How do I transfer to another pharmacy school?!

Hi,

Does anyone know how/what the process is of transferring to another pharmacy school is. I know it can be done and I have heard of some pharmacy students doing it, but if anyone has first hand experience of this it would be great. I'm really not liking my current uni at all and feel so sad even 3 months later- course is unorganised, uni is soo far, the people are just not my type at all or on my social level and I dont like the environment and it's just getting me sooo down
Also, if I was currently at another university who offered pharmacy, do you think I'll have a shot if I try to go back there?

Thanks x

Which university are you at now? You should email the universities that are near you and see what they say, LSOP will do it on exceptional cases. Kings won't and I think Kingston might...but transferring all depends on where you currently are studying as that might get you some plus points!

Hey um what do you mean by LSOP will only do it on exceptional cases?? What exceptions? Also I don't understand your last point, could you please explain? I'm in the same position as pingu and I really want to move Any help would be appreciated :'(

And Pingu did you get in? Were you able to transfer??

I have no idea what the exceptions are but a girl on TSR did it. Maybe email LSOP and ask?

What I meant to say is that if you are going from e.g. Kings to Kingston, you have more chance of getting in than if you went from Kingston to Kings.

I would try kingston or herts if you really want to get away from your university. Kings will NOT accept transfers.

What university do you go to btw?

i'm currently at Kingston and i really want to transfer to lsop :''( i phoned them but they aren't helping at all who is that girl? i really want to message her, do you know what uni she transferred from??..its not common for people to transfer so i have no idea how this works! apparently lsop interview us but i have no idea what kind of questions they will ask..and i cant ask them that..so im really stuck. they aso look at a level grades..and i got abb..not sure if its enough.

also can you only transfer into second year? can you also transfer into third year? i guess know you know how clueless i am :/

Ah, I see...you might have difficulty, I will try to find the message. EDIT: just checked, I think I might have deleted it. But if I were you a good person to ask advice from is pharmgirl, she is very knowledgable about these things.

I think ABB is fine..what year are you in at Kingston? I have a friend in 2nd year and she is liking her course from what I remember!

You should email LSOP and see what they say..no harm in trying!

Hi I am in the same situation, just 2 years on....I have been accepted to study pharmacy at Uni, however I really want to try and get high grades in first year to transfer in 2nd year. Any chance?

Where have you been accepted? Where do you want to go?
I would urgently phone the Uni your interested in and ask if you can be accepted there, you would just have to turn down your original offer.
I'm going to Durham. I know they wernt in clearing, but worth phoning them if interested (although course might be full)

Ive been accepted into DMU, but would rather move away from home :P ..(live in Leicester)...do u know off any Uni's that accept BBC....

Bradford? Sunderland?

I have a friend who did a year at Brighton and then transferred to portsmouth. It is possible but she had to start from year 1 again because we are taught things in a different order to Brighton so depends what year you are in and how much you really dislike your Uni

Did you find out how to do this? I am feeling the same exact way about my uni and environment and I am just not happy at all where I am.
Im in first year pharmacy at the moment, and it's even getting to the point where I am not even sure if I want to do pharmacy anymore.

HI guys, I'm in a similar situation to you. I'm currently a first year pharmacy student and I feel like the uni is so disorganised and I dont like the atmosphere over here. I got invited for an interview at Manchester however if I get the place then I'de have to start from year 1 again.Do u guys think it worth doing it ?cheers
