I did the interview in December. Just prepare answers for the normal pharmacy questions and you'll be fine :smile: there is a bit where you explain a topic of your choice briefly from bio/chem, think that's just to see how you respond under pressure as I'm fairly sure i messed it up but still got an offer so...
good luck : )

Hi, I just finished my interview right now and they haven't asked me any questions relating to my ps as well as any questions regarding bio/chem. I think each interview varies but they definitely did ask me the generic questions like why pharmacy and why at this uni.

I applied to kcl ucl Kingston and Brighton. The interview idk went kind of well I guess. There weren’t questions that I wasn’t expecting but I feel like I answered the situational one pretty badly 😭. How was yours??

The interview was fine just practice questions like why pharmacy why manchester I didn’t get any ethics or situational judgment questions and I also didn’t get questions on science or personal statement. They just asked questions about pharmacy’s for example how to improve access to pharmacy, but I do think that every interview varies so just be ready for anything. Hope this helps and dm me if you have any questions like resources and websites to use 😊.

Hi!
I applied for Manchester at the beginning of December last year but they only got back to me for an interview on Tuesday and it is scheduled for the 5th of May
Thats literally like 2 weeks before the deadline…

But you’ll get one soon!
