Pharmacy Applicants 2016

But i can't find any other science based courses that arn't practical based other than nursing, midwifery, audiology, pharmacy and optometry.

I know this is nothing to do with this topic but:
Would a vaccum flask be an example of a heat transfer used in industries.

And what would the limitations of a short and thin rod and a rod that is fat in regard to heat transfer... please reply asap

You seem really mixed up and it feels like you're asking the same questions over and over in different forums until someone tells you what you want to hear. You don't NEED to go straight to uni, but you do need a clear idea of what's best for you. Why not spend some time visiting universities or researching?

What sort of practical work are you referring to? Do you mean pure lab based practical work? Because those careers that you've listed still require practical work... I can imagine that pharmacy has a deal of lab based work, but hopefully a pharm student can clear this up for you.

BTW, are you a GCSE student? A-level?

Btec student. Doubt I'm ganna do pharmacy. I'm Considering Teaching. Just ganna try to get some work placement done.... .

Fair enough. Both are good careers!

Getting a work experience placement can be a tough task, so ask everywhere!!

Hehe thanks . I know so many declined. I'm considering solicitor but im not a good debater and u can't get work experience in that area plus law is hard

Also, I'm fairly sure you can get work experience in a law firm. You may not do much while you're there, but I think it's possible because one of my friends who applied to law this year had some work experience.

Thanks for your advice . I'll do some research listen do u take alevel chem

I got a C in English language and an A in maths. will I still have the chance to get into pharmacy?

My thoughts exactly, you should do this Uz25

Apart from volunteering at pharmacy related places, how else can I show my interest? I've thought about books but what kind?

Tbh its not all about what you've read and things like that, nowadays its more about experience and understanding how the role of a pharmacist is changing. So keep up with the volunteering cos that looks brilliant on personal statement plus its pharmacy related so even better, and little things like read about pharmacy in the news, up to date knowledge, legislation is always changing. I would recommend going on the royal pharmaceutical society website and reading the news and reading any pharmacy related magazines/journals. But make sure that its basic things, not learning how some new drug was developed and not having a clue about it! Haha hope I've helped!

Ok. I'll make sure i'm all up to date with everything. I haven't actually found somewhere that will have me , but after the exams there'll be more time to look round. Thanks for the help.

I'm a first year pharmacy student, well just finished first year at Portsmouth, feel free to ask any questions
