Yeah at the end of the day, if you get your degree then pass the reg exam, employers won't look at where you got your degree from; everyone does the same test, so everyone has the same level of competence.
The best uni will be the one that suits you the best, not what league tables say. *Nicely quoted from the posters around college
* Research into the course itself as some uni's offer a more traditional style course (ie. the long established schools) and others will incorporate more modern aspects into the course (for example UEA do problem based sessions where you work with other health care students. So you'd be working along side midwifery, med, physio students etc sometimes, which, lets face it, how you would be working as a hospital pharmacist.)
So you need to weigh up your priorities and decide which is best for you.
Oh yeah and remember that just because a uni asks for higher grades, doesn't necessarily mean that it is better. If they ask for higher grades it is because they have more applicants. Which could imply that it is better, however if all of these applicants have it down as there 5th choice, it doesn't really reflect the quality of the course.
So yeah don't go off what other people or league tables say, visit the uni, research the course (how it is taught etc etc), talk to students on the course at the uni, talk to the lecturers...then make a decision
God, that's a bit of an essay lol :P

Not true. The better the University and better the prospects in life.
How so? If you all do the SAME end exam set by the RPSGB then how does the uni matter as such? I think its more on how the uni suits you, and how it teaches you that enables you to succeed in the final exam that is of imperative importance rather than the reputation of the university..
not for this degree!
You've got to remember going to university is about 2 things; getting a degree and developing and growing as a person. (cheesy much!?)
It's alright picking a uni for it's league status but if you don't get anything out of it except a degree, it hasn't been worth it. We're going to be spending 4 years of our lives wherever we decide to go, so we have to genuinely like the place! lol
As I said before the best university is one which suits your individual needs. So if going to a university with good links to companies is what you want, go to that uni.
For me personally, it has to be a combination of an accredited course, modern teaching, good facilties, good accomodation, friendly atmosphere, somewhere i feel safe and happy and can have a good time
I've found when I've gone to uni's who are high in the league tables it's more like a "You'd be privilaged to come here." attitude and i didn't feel welcome. Has anyone else found this?
