Pharmacy Bath 2023

Original post by Kiwi789

Hi! Since everyone should have their offers by now (I think?), I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for people firming Bath for Pharmacy this year. :biggrin:

(I'm a graduate applicant, my offer is conditional on me finishing my current degree in time for the start of the academic year, but I am fairly sure I can manage this so it's like 99.9% likely that I will be studying at Bath this autumn.)

Hii, nice to meet you! I have just firmed bath pharmacy as well. Hope your degree goes well and hopefully see you soon

I put myself in a spot of bother by ending up with 4 AAB offers but I insured UEA pharmacy as I loved it there, have you firmed your offers yet?

Best of luck deciding, I would recommend just watching lots of youtube/ tiktok videos of both and see which one gives you the best vibe, its hard cause academically they are pretty such the same

Hi, I've firmed bath as well :smile:

I'm kind of scared though lol as I'd be travelling to Bath instead of living in accommodation so it would be harder to make friends haha :/

Same, I'll be commuting from home! Don't worry too much, there are lots of societies and other social events during the week, and with pharmacy being such a busy degree, you'll be spending plenty of time getting to know others on your course. :smile:

Yeah, pharmacy is like all the weekdays no? Hopefully, that's my only real worry is that everyone else on the course will spend more time together as they live in the campus/city. But yeah as you said you spend alot of time with people on the course

Also, does anyone know how to pay for the , like can you get a monthly bus ticket or is it daily?

Reply 15

I think you can do both, but a few people that lived in the city said they get a yearly ticket which is around £400 for the whole year

I've been looking into this too. I am honestly a bit confused (will explain why in a moment), there are two zones: Bath zone (£609 for the year, restricted to Bath) and West of England (£788 for the year, covers the entirety of Somerset). Now I've been been on the FirstBus website and there does seem to a cheaper alternative called the Uni Year (under West of England) which is £449 for the year (September-June, it excludes the summer holidays), but I can't find anywhere on the website to buy it as it doesnt show up in the drop down menu when trying to purchase a ticket :confused:

. First Buses has a notoriously bad website though, so I'm presuming that this ticket type does exist and it is likely an oversight on their part. It could also be perhaps Uni Year has specific requirements that you have to show in person before they allow you to purchase the ticket? Anyway, might be worth contacting them, or dropping in by a ticket office to avoid delays.
