Hi @munalove!

I would review your personal statement as some questions may be relate to it. Likewise, other questions that you could aim to answer are:

Why pharmacy? Why this course in particular?.

Why this university?

What does a pharmacist do? (Community vs Hospital Pharmacy).

What skills do you have that you think would make you a good pharmacist?


Here is some additional information from the Head of the School of Pharmacy: Interview Guidance UoN

I hope it helps and I wish you the best of luck 🙂

All the best,
Abian.

Hi, hopefully you did well on your interview at Notts and I hope you get an offer. I have mine on March, do you know what the questions they asked? And were the chemistry and maths questions basic or hard?

It's against TSR rules to share details of interview questions as it gives those who follow an unfair advantage.

The interview is an MMI. So your transferred to different sections of the interview with diff interviewers. The questions aren't so bad - usually consist of why pharmacy, skills learned during work experience, situational judgement questions maths questions and finally organic chemistry questions (but their linked to pharmacy).

Good luck with your interview!!
