Kingston University Pharmacy

Hi guys
I currently have an unconditional offer (which i've accepted) for the extended pharmacy degree at Kingston, which is the one with a foundation year. My current grades are ACD (C in Bio and D in chem). I am resitting chemistry. I would rather not have to do the foundation year, which is why I am resitting. The degree without foundation has been confirmed to be in clearing this year and I wanted to ask if anyone has ever gotten into Kingston's mpharm with ABC (C in bio and B in chem) or if my result is worse than I expect ACC (C in bio and chem) through clearing.
Thanks

hey, can you update on what happened with your application, what grades did you end up getting and did they accept you with ABC?

Hi @dent24

Acceptance rates would have changed from 2 years ago. Our current entry requirements for this course are as followed:
-UCAS tariff points: 120–136 for MPharm (Hons); 80–88 for MPharm (Hons) including Preparatory Year.
-A-levels to include Chemistry with a minimum of a grade B and another science with a minimum of a grade B.
-Alternatively, we consider applicants holding a BTEC Extended Diploma in Applied Science (with a minimum DDD) alongside an A-level Chemistry with a minimum of a grade B.
-Candidates are normally required to hold GCSEs in Mathematics and English Language at grade C/4 or above.
-Enhanced DBS check and health check. Shortlisted applicants will be invited for an interview.

I hope this helped and please let me know if you have any questions!

Hey thanks for your reply, my current grades ABC add up to 120 ucat points but it doesn’t meet the second minimum B grade. So how would that work out? Would I still have to get a second B grade?
Thank you

Hi @dent24

Usually it is about meeting the UCAS points, however if they have asked for specific grade requirements you may want to check with admissions. Here are some links to contact them

I hope this helps :smile:
