Universities for Pharmacy

I am struggling to pick universities for Pharmacy.

Does anyone have any suggestions preferably outside of London?

Can you give more information on what sort of things you're into? Or any vague idea of locations you'd consider
As all courses are regulated the curriculum isn't going to vary hugely so you'd be better picking a city you like and think you'd be happy at

I want a university that has a good campus feel to it and has good student satisfaction

And that has good facilities like libraries and good labs

I would preferably want a city that has a lot of things to do and is lively as I'm used to living in London but I don't want to go there for uni

The University of Birmingham fits those criteria I would say, definitely has a good campus feel to it.

Hi @munalove!

I am currently a 4th year student pharmacist at the University of Nottingham, and I couldn't recommend it more!

Here's a little view into what pharmacy is like at UoN

Entry requirements : AAB
Interview required (nothing to stress about, they just like meeting applicants to see how you go about solving some mathematical, chemical and ethical questions)

Have a look at what is taught on our course here : MPharm information

A bit about the campus

Library facilities: There are two main libraries on campus, majority of science students use the George Green library, take a look at it here: George Green Tour.

Sport facilities: State of the art David Ross Sport Village, where the majority of sport clubs hold training and games, take a look here: David Ross Sports Village.

The university is a campus university, which is very green and lots of open spaces which are well used during the spring and summer terms

The campus has incredible connections to the city centre, including trams and buses which are available every 10-20 minutes depending on time of day.
