I heard 200+ but no idea where this figure came from. Can anyone help?


I heard 200+ from one source but 80+ from another?

hi, to anyone wondering, they require 80 hours. I emailed the admissions team and that’s what they said

On the forum elsewhere it was said that was for contextual…

I just asked him if there was any minimum number of hours required and he said:

And so what did they say for non contextual then? Just out of curiosity as the admissions team have already confirmed 80 hours. If you’re still not sure you could email them as well at: [email protected]
to clear up any confusion, 80 hours is the minimum requirement, 200 hours seemed to be the minimum threshold hours for a non contextual applicant last year to get an interview

But 80 is for non contextual then this year I presume?

80 is the minimum, so any applications below that will likely be instantly rejected, but they won't know the threshold hours until all they assess all of the applications, so after the deadline. similar to how a ucat cutoff works

Would volunteering at a pharmacy count for the R&R form?

Yes

Thank you :smile:
What does the R&R form look? For every work experience/ volunteering I put down, do I need to add a reference?
would part time jobs eg. working in restaurant / retail + a bit of charity shop volunteering count as WE? I have slightly less than 200h, more like 150h at most. would it still be advisable to apply with this WE, as on the website it says it's not the number but the quality (not entirely sure what this means)?
thank you
