Manchester Pharmacy Interview- in March?

Hi I'm a Northern Irish student and my application was sent off yesterday- I applied to QUB, Ulster, Reading, Bath and Manchester and I have just received an invitation for interview for Manchester but it says it's in March which I thought is a bit distant?? Have any other applicants experienced this/does anyone know if it's virtual or in person?
UCAS says it's online while the UoM website says they're in person and I haven't received an email with interview details (as UCAS says I will) and am unsure if I need to accept the invitation before they send me the email or to just wait a little bit. Any help greatly appreciated especially from other NI students 😖😖

I’m in the north as well. I got my offer the other day and it has told me an interview in April. It says it’s online too so it must be right. I know one of my friends has gotten an interview for a completely different course in Manchester but it’s in person so it much just depends on the course.

Thanks for your reply!!!! After making this post in a bit of a panic I emailed them asking if it's in person or not and (at least for pharmacy, anyway) they're online which was a relief 😭😭 good luck with your application!! April is a crazy wait omg

Hi! for Ulster, the process tends to be really straightforward, and they’re super responsive if you have questions. Plus, staying closer to home can make things less stressful while still getting a quality education. Best of luck with all your choices!

No nothing yet 😭😭 honestly it's kind of annoying because I live in the Belfast area and Coleraine is kind of far away lol but I think we should get something within at least a week of it hopefully?
