Interview for pharmacy at the university of east anglia

Hey so I have an interview for pharmacy coming up for the university of east Anglia and I was wondering if I could get any tips or advice.
Hey there, I had an interview with UEA for pharmacy with foundation year. The advice I would give to you is to be yourself. Relaxed. Wear something smart for the interview.
Read over your personal statement, that may help.
Read up on the UEA's research as they have been doing a lot of stuff during the COVID-19 pandemic.
I hope this helps.
Thank you much appreciated
Heyy, I recently had an interview with UEA for the same course, Pharmacy with Foundation. Did you receive an offer, if you don’t mind me asking?

Hi Nuha, I would say read up about your personal statement as this may be asked. Be relaxed cool, calm and collected. Do research on UEA's research throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope this helps.
Hey I had my interview last week Friday and got my offer the same day. A tip I would give it go over clinical question so for example what would you do if a locum staff who covered for you last night gave the wrong medication to a customer how would you handle that situation as a head pharmacist... so question like that. Also know why u want to study pharmacy which is a key question which will be asked

Hey @Veeehehe :smile:

Congratulations on your offer! It's a totally different area subject wise but last year I did a humanities foundation year before transferring onto my Film and Television Studies degree and I found it really beneficial in a lot of ways. I'm really glad I did it. Do you have any specific questions about UEA, or being a student in Norwich? I'd be happy to help if so!

Our open days page might be of interest to you as we have some campus tours coming up that you can book to attend, however, I understand visiting from Northern Ireland may be difficult so taking a look at our on-demand virtual open day might be helpful for you to get a sense of what UEA is like!

Best wishes,

I know this is quite late but, i have an interview in 2 weeks, and i’m nervous for the questions that might come up, are the questions just general basic pharmacy questions like why pharmacy, why east anglia, and things like that?

Hi, I done my interview with East Anglia they are very kind people and partially laidback. They asked me the regular question like why pharmacy and why UEA. Then the second part was SJT and how you would respond to a scenario. Just a tip, they asked my to expand on some of my responses so as prep, maybe practice some questions beforehand. They gave me an offer 2 days later. Good luck.

Hey, so you applied for pharmacy without foundation year but they offered you with foundation year? What was your predicted grade? And what grade did they offer for pharmacy with foundation year?
