:colondollar:Hi if you don't mind, could you please tell me what questions did Bath ask? I don't know what to prepare for it.:confused:


Questions based around your personal statement and how it relates to Pharmacy. E.g. I did experience in a care home and he asked how will that help and I said teamwork, experience with older patients, understanding difficult patients, etc.

Same. Have a conditional offer and visited the uni and loved their course. My only dilemma is that bham are not fully accredited yet.

I got a conditional offer from UCL the other day, but they invited me to an open day yesterday. Apparently there's going to be a maths test. If I do really badly in the maths test could they withdraw their offer?!

no they wont. if you read the little guideline sheet they gave you it says that the maths test is not a part of the selection process

All the general questions buy it was mostly a chat, going over your personal statement

Don't worry the maths test is for you to get an idea of the sort of maths you'll need to know for the course. Its just simple mental maths really, make sure you know your how to calculate moles, concentration etc.
Nottingham sent me a birthday present for me moments ago: an interview at the Malaysian Campus in March. Completely dumbfounded haha.

It's actually a really short and simple mental arithmetic Maths test done on an iPad. Just make sure you know your conversions and how to deal with basic fractions, other than that it's pretty straightforward and lasts no longer than 10 mins. I mean I hadn't prepared at all and I managed to get 27/30 despite missing a question out so I'm sure you'll do well. However, it's important to remember it doesn't actually form part of the selection process, it's just there to give you an idea of the sort of calculations you'll need to be able to do on the top of your head as a professional Pharmacist. Good Luck and Congratulations on your offer! :smile:

I received an Invitation to the Open Day the day following my conditional offer :smile:
Hey guys, can anyone whose had an interview at Huddersfield let me know if there's a test (no mention of it in the email but on their website it says there'll be a short test). I've emailed the uni but no reply and I'm too scared to ring :s-smilie:

No test, just a quick interview on the personal statement and a questionaire that's like "draw an animal that describes you best" some serious year 3 stuff. They're super friendly you'll love it!
Here to help, I've had interviews and offers from Manchester, Hudders, UClan, Liverpool JM and Aston

Lmao my animal would be so basic and they wouldn't be able to even tell what I've drawn.

Thanks! I've been stressing over the interview so bad so I'm glad to know there's no horrible test!
