    Like theres so many people particularly South Asians like me who all thought "Pharmacy is good money and its not too hard to get into" so im a bit doubtful that maybe i might not become a pharmacist as all jobs are taken due to excess pharmacists ?

    I'm a bit doubtful that I will get a place too because it is very competitive and the entry requirements increase each year.

    Hello! I also want to apply to Pharmacy in UK, I'm from an EU country. I'm thinking about Robert Gordon Uni I've received my prospectus and it all looks really nice.

    Also, this will be my second choice because my first choice is medicine in my country, but I'm not sure how that will go.

    I've heard that jobs are kind of hard to get and that it is hard to find even a pre-reg spot :-?

I worked in a catholic charity hospital in africa for 4 weeks last summer. 1 week in the lab,1 week with the nurses and 2 weeks in the Pharmacy. I helped package drugs for HIV patients. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hopefully I would be predicted AAB...B is biology,I hate it :mad:
