Hi. I had my interview for Pharmacy at Uclan on the 20th November and got an offer :smile: The interview is really informal. All they will ask you is why do you want to be a pharmacist, what do you think you will enjoy the most on the course, what do you think you will be good at as a pharmacist and what do you think you won't be so good at.
The test was ok overall. There were some hard chemistry calculations on finding the concentration of buffer solutions and it gave the ml and mM(?) in the question. I couldn't identify the functional group(apparently it was an amine group), but the other maths questions were alright. Also, you'll get a picture of the back of a medicine packet and there will be some multiple choice questions about the maximum dosage that can be taken,etc. The answers will be in the text.
Our 15 minute essay question was- 'what is the role of a Pharmacist and what qualities do you have that will attribute to this.
Then they'll put up a picture-ours was on a homeless man sat on a pavement with two dogs- and you have to discuss it with the lecturer as a group.
Good luck!

Just wondering are you taking a btec or alevels? The people who have interviews on 11th are you doing btec? As I was wondering if the btec applicants are given a different to Alevel applicants test? Also did they tell you about essay beforehand when they sent out the email about the interview day?

Much appreciated for the help!
