Hey, I've got called for the same interview. Looking at past forums nobody has discussed anything about a calculations assessment :frown:

so I'm wondering if it's a new thing or??

Hi, I know somebody a few years above me studying MPharm at Manchester now and I'm going to ask her about her interview and I'll let you know what she said, I've got an interview there on the 9th

My friend told me that the admissions test was basic maths and conversions from mg to g etc and that the interviewers she has were nice (one staff member and a student) and asked questions like why do you want to do pharmacy and what's your biggest achievement from what she remembers. Hope that's helped to calm some nerves and good luck to everyone! ☺️

Hi I know this might sound rude but please may I ask what your predicted grades were?
Because I've sent my UCAS off and ive applied for manchester for pharmacy as well so I was wondering if they would interview me (mine were A*AA)

I mentioned what she said a few posts earlier, I've had an interview at Manchester since and it was fine, just make sure you know why you want to go to Manchester and make sure to know the basic stuff about Pharmacy and know a few tablets and how they work. Don't worry about the calculations test either as long as you can multiply and divide you'll do well!
