SED at Huddersfield uni

I’ve wanted to study pharmacy at Huddersfield Uni, however ive not reached the grades required as I’m studying an access course, I did pass but they required distinctions and I got merits. Huddersfield Uni recommended foundation year for me but I also heard that doing that is extremely hard and they only accept 15 ppl to move onto the pharmacy course. I even have over a years worth of experience in the pharmacy field too. Can anyone advise me on how I can go about this? Can I still find a way to enter without doing foundation year? Thanks

Hi. I have completed the SED at Huddersfield

How did you find it personally? Is it hard? What did you progress onto?

Personally I found it quite ok. If you keep on top of your work and don’t do things last minute you should be ok. I progressed onto optom

What percentage did you gain overall? How many people moved onto optom and pharm? Do you mind me asking what you studied at A level and what grades you got as well as I’m not that academically clever

I gained 76% overall and you need 70% overall, 70% in chemistry and 70% in maths and physics to progress onto optom and pharmacy. This year around 40-45 people progressed onto these courses and people with 68+ are placed on a waiting list. I got bcc and did bio chem and psych

What does it consist of to get 70%? Is it exam based or essay based?

How often did you attend uni when u was doing SED? Also have you just finished first year of pharm or are you going to start the course this year?

What is the Maths and Physics part of the course like for SED? Is it like A level or is it more easier? Same applies for bio and chem is it A level content or would u say it’s more easier

I’ve not done a level maths but the maths part is ok in term 1 however some topics in term 2 are hard. You will be given enough material and quizzes for practice. Bio and chem is pretty much first year a level I think

Hi, so if you get 70% you're definitely 100% guaranteed a place? Or is it like you're given whatevers left over after the A Level students have applied?

there are more people in this years intake so I was told that we are not guaranteed a place.
