Hey, I’ve applied to Birmingham for pharmacy this year, just last week so still don’t have a reply! I was just wondering if anyone has any information on interviews and what kind of questions they ask ☺️

Hey, I'm not sure if they do interviews because I've received an offer already without having to do an interview, it also didn't say that they may ask for an interview when I put it in my choices on my UCAS form so I assumed they didn't do interviews, hope this helps :smile:

Does anyone know of anyone who has been offered BBB for Pharmacy at Birmingham University, as they reduce it already from AAB to ABB with an A in EPQ. But I want to know if they will then reduce that further to BBB with the new flexible admissions?
How long did your offers take to come through because i can’t stop refreshing my email 😭
