Swansea Uni pharmacy interview

I’ve received an interview for pharmacy course and it’s next week,but I chose a date from the eventbrite website,but it did not give me a time? So I don’t know whether the university would give me a link and time closer to the date or should I email them? I need some help 😅

heyy they would have sent you an email of a recording that would explain all the rooms. You will do numeracy first so make sure you learn how to do dosage question. Then you have the 5 stations where one they ask about you, why pharmacy, role of pharmacists etc
The 2nd is when you will get a scenario
3rd is also a scenario too
You also have rest station so you got 5 minutes to yourself
You also work in a group with the other interviewees
Hope this helps lmk if you want to know more

Amazing! Thank you so much for the support- in terms of dosage questions did you learn any conversions before the interview? Or is it a case of basic maths in dosages? Thank you 😊 x

hey! honestly it’s not as bad as you think it is and everyone is so nice!! for the group task you work together to solve a problem. the knowledge room you get asked ur basic questions like why pharmacy, role of pharmacist, how pharmacy is growing etc. then there’s two rooms where they’ll show you a scenario (one is quite simple and one is a long one), make sure you explain to them every action you’d take and it’s okay to make some notes before answering!! honestly it’s not as scary as they make it seem, you got this!! good luck!!
