Hi there sk2111

Congrats on securing an interview with us !

Unfortunately, I am not a pharmacy student and therefore I may not be the best to advise you on possible interview questions. I have found a great website with just what you need. Its http://www.applytouni.com/applying/applying-advice/university-interviews/pharmacy-university-interview-questions/. They have a list of possible interview questions of various broader headings which I think will help you out.

To enhance your preparation for your interview next week, have a second look at our Pharmacy page on our uni website: https://www.kingston.ac.uk/undergraduate-course/pharmacy/, which will inform you of how the course is taught at Kingston. You never know if your interviewer may ask a question about the course and how its being taught here. Better safe than sorry :smile:

All the best with your interview next week. If you have any questions about accomodation or student life at Kingston, feel free to ask. I'm more than happy to answer any of your further questions.

Hey i have an group interview for MPharm in Kingston tomorrow could you please tell me the questions they asked you and did they pick certain individuals to speak

Hey,
They put you in groups based on numbers you are given at the start of the day, I had my interview quite a while ago but they ask you each group a question for example "what skills do pharmacists require" and everyone will have to speak. I used this website before I had mine and it was really helpful http://www.applytouni.com/applying/a...iew-questions/. Good luck with your interview, I'm sure you will be fine!

Hey

Thanks you for responding I appreciate it so much. Was it intimidating, I have anxiety and am a nervous person. Was you required to bring anything in. Did they pick on individuals to speak. And what other questions did they ask you. Did you have to complete any math test or any test. Also on the timetable it states a 10 minute written question about yourself what is that. Please help

No worries, and when I went I bought my pencil case because you have to fill in a worksheet about why you want to do the course. Furthermore, in the group interview they expect everyone to talk and answer a question, some of the questions asked were liek "the future of the pharmacy profession" and "what skills are needed by a pharmacist" . Also each group performs for around 8-10 minutes and then you just watch the other groups. Honestly try not to stress its not too bad ans everyone is really friendly :smile:

Hi, I know it's been over a year but I have an interview tomorrow. Is it just a group interview, or do they also have individual interviews as well?

I'm guessing every group got the same question. I was in the group where the leader's name was in red
