Hi @shr.123

Congratulations on getting an interview for Kingston! I personally don't study Mpharm here so unfortunately have little advice when it comes to the interview.

However there was some threads last year that may have some advice in about the interview or you may be able to privately message them Kingston Mpharm interview - Page 2 - The Student Room

I hope this helps and good luck :smile:

Hi @shr.123

I hope you're doing well!

it is great to hear that you're interested in Pharmacy here at Reading, and wishing you the best of luck with your interview!

I do not do Pharmacy so can't offer too much insight on specific questions for this subject unfortunately, I did do an interview for a healthcare course here at Reading however, so I will offer some insight I have from that.

The main thing I would say is to consider your motivation for doing the course and why you are passionate about it. Think about what made you want to pursue this degree, in terms of both your experiences so far, and what you would like to achieve in the long run. Consider skills that interviewers might be looking for in applicants, and how you can show that you have demonstrated these skills.

It is also a good idea to think of some scenarios related to the career that you might get asked, and think about how you would respond to these questions. Perhaps research some typical pharmacy interview questions and write a loose scaffolding of how you could answer them.

The University of Reading has created a page to help support those applying to Pharmacy which offers some tips and advice for how to prepare for interviews. Please click here to find this.

Generally, the best advice is always to be yourself, and show your passion.

I hope it goes well!

If you have any more questions, just let us know.

Heyy, yes I've done two of my interviews and received one offer so far. The interviews aren't that bad. Just try not to be nervous or you might forget half of the things that you want to say. The interviewers I had were really friendly and they make you feel comfortable so don't stress. x
