Hey, Had an interview at nottingham last week before christmas and found the information from this forum useful, so i thought i'd add my contribition.
It was quite a laid back interview with one interviewer he asked me:
The useful things I'd learnt from my academic studies.
Why Nottingham?
Whats a catalyst? Whats a biological catalyst, how do they work?
Relevant work experience.
What pharmacy routes can you take after degree, the 3 possible areas.
What did I know about MRSA.
Whats diabetes, why can't insulin be administered by mouth?
Protein structure, primary, secondary and tertiary.

Must have gone pretty well because I got an offer the next day! :biggrin:

Good luck to you all! and thanks for the info.
