MPharm Keele 2023

Original post by MlAAA

Hey! I was just wondering who had applied/got an offer to study Pharmacy at Keele?

When did you have your interview, and when did you receive an offer?
What are your predicted grades, and what subjects do you take?
What other universities did you apply for, and is Keele your first choice?

I had my interview on 15/03 (yesterday) and I am still waiting to here back, but Keele is my first choice so I am hoping to speak to other people planning to go to Keele!

Hi!
I have my interview on the 22/03 and I'm so so so stressed. How did yours go? Are there any questions I need to look out for?
Also, yes Keele is my first choice I do Biology, Chemistry, and Philosophy.
I hope you get the reply you want soon!

Hi! I thought the interview was really chilled. The interviewers were really nice and it was very casual, so don't be too nervous! I’d just focus on practising scenario-based questions and looking through the Pharmacy standards, as well as the general questions.

I take Maths, Biology and Chemistry. I hope it goes well for you!

Hi!

Great to hear that you're thinking of studying at Keele! I'm not in the Pharmacy department but I am a postgraduate student at Keele so if you've got any general questions about life on campus, just drop me a message here . You might also be interested in chatting to some of our current students via Unibuddy at https://www.keele.ac.uk/study/chat/.

Hi! Thank you for responding to me. I have been looking into accommodation recently - is the application process open for this? And which is the more social out of all the accommodation blocks?

Also, could you direct me to something that shows the extracurriculars that Keele offers, specifically societies etc? Thank you!

Once you have received and accepted your offer to study at Keele, you'll get an invitation to register with our accommodation portal and go through the process of selecting accommodation. You can find out more about that process at: https://www.keele.ac.uk/accommodation/howandwhentoapply/#new-september-starters.

I've never lived in Keele's accommodation myself as I commute from home onto campus. I've had friends in halls however and I think all of them are pretty sociable! Some of the accommodation - Horwood, Lindsay - is more traditional so they offer slightly larger flat sizes. Other blocks - such as New Barnes - have smaller groups in each flat. Horwood and Barnes are the two accommodation areas closest to the centre of campus but Lindsay, Lindsay Court, Holly Cross, and The Oaks are only a 5-10 minute walk so it isn't as if any of the accommodation if far away from the centre of things! You can find out more about each accommodation type - and see some virtual tours - at https://www.keele.ac.uk/accommodation/ouraccommodation/.

Our accommodation is usually open on our open days and postgraduate open afternoons as well so, if you're able, consider coming along to one if you've never visited campus before: https://www.keele.ac.uk/study/opendays/. They're a great way to see the campus and facilities, as well as to meet some current students and find out about student life from them.

In terms of societies, there's definitely plenty going on. A list of the current societies we have is on the SU website at https://keelesu.com/activities/clubs-societies/. If you don't see a society to cover what you're interested in, however, there's also opportunities to get support from the SU to establish one! The SU and KPA also run lots of extra-curricular events for students, and the university and chapel both put on events - everything from concerts, traditional nights out/club nights and live music to board game and film evenings, readings, and evening lectures. So there's always plenty to do around campus.

Hope that helps but if you've got any other questions, please let me know :smile:

has anyone been able to get in contact with keele? I've tried calling them but they never answer. I'm also slightly confused on how their alternative offers work because I completed an EPQ last year in year 12 and achieved an A which the website states I'm entitled to a one grade reduction however in my offer it doesn't state this so I'm a bit confused and want to double check with them

I did my interview November 16th and got an offer November 25th :smile:

Did you get an offer?

ABB which I think is the stated normal offer. Update they didn't see that I had done an EPQ so they have sorted it now :smile:
