At Strathclyde does anyone ever get offered a year 1 entry to pharmacy or is it just year 2? I have an interview with RGU but still not heard anything from Strathclyde.

The recommended entry point is usually year 2 as year 1 is more of a foundation year, however some people may still choose to enter from year 1 due to reasons such as wanting to start from the very beginning or maybe that they're unable to do advanced highers which are required for year 2 entry. But again, year 2 entry is the standard route.

Congratulations on getting an interview! When is it? I received a conditional offer from Strathclyde for pharmacy, however I haven't heard anything about interviews yet.

When did you receive your offer from Strathclyde?

Hi Caitlin

I’m currently in 5th and am decided what advanced highers to take next year. Would taking advanced higher chemistry and mathematics instead of advanced higher higher chemistry and biology make me a less competitive candidate?

When putting in an application to study pharmacy, is it possible to put in an application for both year 1 and a separate one for year 2 entry or can you only put in 1 for year 2?

Hey there! Sorry for the delay in my reply; I've popped you a PM responding to your query but just popping my response below too:

Our standard entry requirements are for students to achieve AAAB at Higher with Chemistry and Biology at A, and Maths and English at B. We then also ask for BB at Advanced Higher (Chemistry B, and/or Biology B. Physics and Maths could be considered as an alternative to one). So yes, as long as you're taking Chemistry at AH we could consider Maths as the second AH. As long as you're meeting the entry requirements then we would be able to consider you and you'd be a competitive candidate.

We'd recommend you only apply for the one programme with Year 2 entry as this is the normal entry route, so no duplicate applications are required

someone i know in my school got a conditional offer to year 2 with only advanced higher biology and maths? not advanced higher chemistry, only higher

Yeah this is what’s confused me. I’m hearing different things but I’m just going with the safest option and taking advanced chemistry and biology.

just got rejected ❤️❤️

Aw, I'm really sorry to heart that!

Please don't let yourself down about it, remember that rejection is just redirection. Try to stay positive and many good things will come later on.

thank you so much!!

Do u know why u might have been refused??

Hello! The normal entry point for the degree is Year 2 so this is what you should select as your entry point on UCAS We can on occasion offer Year 1 entry however it's most likely students start from Year 2.
Congrats on the RGU interview!! That's brill news Best of luck!

Hi my son picked entry year 1 as he did not know it should be a year 2 entry. What happens now?

Hi, I’m currently studying in 1st year (Y2 - it’s very confusing) so I understand where you have gone wrong! Is he studying two advanced highers? As these are needed for Y2 entry. I would recommend contacting the university admissions team if so to try and sort it out. I had a friend who applied to Y1 accidentally and was rejected (she didn’t have adequate AH grades and was told she needed a HNC is applied science to get it which is what she did last year) - now we’re studying together. Hope you get this cleared up! Let me know if you have any other questions 👍🏻
