Hi! Since everyone should have their offers by now (I think?), I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for people firming Bath for Pharmacy this year. :biggrin:

(I'm a graduate applicant, my offer is conditional on me finishing my current degree in time for the start of the academic year, but I am fairly sure I can manage this so it's like 99.9% likely that I will be studying at Bath this autumn.)


Hii, nice to meet you! I have just firmed bath pharmacy as well. Hope your degree goes well and hopefully see you soon

I put myself in a spot of bother by ending up with 4 AAB offers but I insured UEA pharmacy as I loved it there, have you firmed your offers yet?

Best of luck deciding, I would recommend just watching lots of youtube/ tiktok videos of both and see which one gives you the best vibe, its hard cause academically they are pretty such the same

Hi, I've firmed bath as well :smile: I'm kind of scared though lol as I'd be travelling to Bath instead of living in accommodation so it would be harder to make friends haha :/

Same, I'll be commuting from home! Don't worry too much, there are lots of societies and other social events during the week, and with pharmacy being such a busy degree, you'll be spending plenty of time getting to know others on your course. :smile:


Yeah, pharmacy is like all the weekdays no? Hopefully, that's my only real worry is that everyone else on the course will spend more time together as they live in the campus/city. But yeah as you said you spend alot of time with people on the course

Also, does anyone know how to pay for the , like can you get a monthly bus ticket or is it daily?

Reply 14

I think you can do both, but a few people that lived in the city said they get a yearly ticket which is around £400 for the whole year

Well done to all the Pharmacists, it was a tough application year with a big jump in applications to all Unis.

To all of you who have made it to Bath, be proud - and get excited.

I'm confirmed :biggrin: I've been investigating what socities are available with interest. From what I can see all non-sport socities are free (+ learning a foreign language is also free), and the sport socities are relatively cheap at £10 a year, that's fantastic! And some of the stuff at the Sports village is also completely free, like swimming or using the courts (and I think maybe the track? Though I'm not certain about that). Use of the gym is not included in this (£29 per month) but that's just me being greedy by hoping it was XD

Back to pharmacy though - I'm surprised how full on Welcome Week is going to be for us. One of those events being "Lab coat fitting", I wonder if this means we are going to be given our own labcoats or if we have to buy them? Also "Establishing an online presence" was not one that I was expecting, I assume by this they mean linkedin? I'm curious to find out!

Confirmed also! :biggrin: looking at all the societies and groups has left me a bit overwhelmed, there are too many I want to try.
I also wonder about the lab coat thing. I can't see it listed under extra costs on the website but you never know. Gonna be so smart with my coat :cool:
Don't know about you, but I'm a lot more nervous than I thought I would be about the first week. It'll be so strange!!
