KCL, as I remember, request maths to AS level minimum. Haven't been to it though.

Kingston were pretty rude to me on e-mail when I was asking them stuff, haven't been there either.

SoP is quite nice. They're really really competitive for places, however. The institute itself isn't that interesting but the reputation it has in the pharmacy field is really good. I think they said on the open day that halls were inter collegiate so you're not living with, studying with and going out with pharmacy students the whole time.

Best thing is to visit them rather than rely on other people's opinions. After all, most people are looking for different things in a uni.

Well seeming how Kingston sent an e-mail to a complete stranger that was deemed as rude, don't go there. Clearly you're life will just go downhill.

P.S. (How was that useful information about Kingston? You might as well have just said nothing. Keep that in mind)

I kind of believe you because my sister was telling me the exact same thing. Thanx for the help everyone. I'll get the prospectus' and head to the opening days for a look around. Seems like it's UCL, KCL or SOP.

Wait.. I don't see UCL, i could've sworn UCL does Pharmacy?

EDIT: Oh no they don't :s-smilie:

If you're predicted at least ABB then you could essentially apply to all three. I don't know about Kingston's reputation as a university but I do think their degree is validated by RPSGB so you wouldn't have a problem in that sense.

LSOP has an outstanding reputation internationally and has many strong links with some top universities worlwide. King's has always been strong in the Medical/Health related subjects and givent hat London has some of the best teaching hospitals and facilities in Europe, it certainly is one of the best places in the country in which to study those particular courses, including Pharmacy.

Nottingham and Manchester are good Pharmacy schools but you shouldn't always go off what the rankings say as they take into account several factors includign things like "student satisfaction" which could well be higher in places outside of London where the cost of living is lower (hence students have more money to spend on going out etc. and hence are more satisfied) or staff to student ratio which may be higher at smaller institutions. These factors don't take into account teaching quality and entry standards. Also LSOP seems to have better international links than Manchester and Nottingham and LSOP offers the opportunity to spend part of the course abroad at one of their numerous partner institutions. Manchester doesn't offer such an option and Nottingham as far as I can remember when I applied to them, only allow you to go to their campus in Malaysia (I think?).

I'm not knocking Nottingham or Manchester, infact I chose those places over LSOP for other reasons. But to say LSOP isn't one of the best Pharmacy Schools is really a bit silly.
