pharmacology applicants 2020
WatchThis discussion is closed.
don’t think anyone’s made one of these yet, there was one from last year though so feel free to drop your predicted grades and where you’re thinking of applying!
I’m on a gap year now, personally I think my favourites are Bristol and manchester, as they both seem to have a focus on neuropharmacology, but I haven’t had the opportunity to look at many unis as a lot of the open days were during my exams

What are the differences between Pharmacology, pharmaceutical science and drug discovery??? I am so confused.

I’ve sent my UCAS to Manchester, UEA (twice), UCL and Bath all for MSci or MPharmacol (and one BSc at UEA just in case)
I think the course is very niche and it’s been really hard to find others who want to study the course, so thanks for making this thread 😊

it’s okay, and yeah it’s literally so niche, I’m still struggling with my personal statement tbh

Personal statement is the worst part, I whacked mine out when I had a five free day at sixth form. I think the best way is to do one draft in one big sitting and then keep picking at it 😊

I'm doing an epq which reduces by 1 grade if I do well in it, also I checked their clearing last year and they set the grades down all the way to BBC to try and get people in. I'm pretty hopeful.

I applied for Manchester (now my firm choice) and UCL who are Russell group unis and my offers were AAB from both but that was for an MSci, I’m pretty sure for a BSc it’s ABB. It wouldn’t hurt to apply and see what happens as you never know what their cohort has been that year.
Also I’m assuming since the UCAS deadline has gone you’re applying next year?
If so speak with your teachers to see what you could do to get your grades up.
As much as Russell Group unis have great prestige and research funding it’s not the end of the world if you go to a uni that’s not part of it and there are many good unis not in the group.
If you’re applying for Pharmacology I would recommend looking at UEA (my insurance choice) as I attended a summer school there and the course looked great!

I applied 18th October and had an interview on the 6th November
The person who interviewed me told me he’d be advising them to make me and offer and it came through UCAS the week after

Hi all, I'm a current 3rd year Pharmacology student at UEA, nice to see some of you considering UEA- feel free to fire any questions either here or by dm (about pharmacology, UEA or uni in general)!
