Medway Pharmacy Offers

Has anyone had an offer from Medway yet? I’ve already had my interview with Greenwich but they couldn’t give me any rough guidance for how long it would take to get back to me and I wasn’t sure if anyone else has already had an offer from them.

They have lots of information on their website on what type of questions will be asked but in general (this applies to pretty much any pharmacy uni interview) they ask why i am interested in pharmacy, are there any particular areas i am interested in, what kind of experience do i have then some general maths/chemistry questions, however Greenwich only did a roleplay scenario instead (this is also mentioned on their website)

It may be a good idea to practice similar questions and plan out some general talking points before the interview so you sound more confident, and also prepare some questions to ask at the end to show you are engaged and basically understand what you are getting yourself into, i feel like the interviewers really liked when i asked questions

Pretty much all of this information can be found online anyways but feel free to reach out if you have any other questions and good luck!

Mine only went on UCAS today, i had to ring them though and ask them to do it, that’s good then, mine is AAA, are you going to put it as your firm choice or not sure yet?

I do BTEC applied science so I need distinction distinction distinction which is the same as AAA, most people don’t really know much about BTEC grading so it’s just easier to say AAA 😂

Thank you sm!! What resources exactly did you look online to find this information and questions to practice on? I’m a bit lost as my school didn’t even know pharmacy has interviews 😭

the medway/kent/greenwich website for pharmacy had some resources to prepare for your interview and they also sent out a presentation which suggested things you should try to look at before, most unis have a little section for pharmacy interview prep (or interview prep in general too), i found Reading also had a really good pharmacy interview prep section and i looked up common questions asked and tried to plan out some responses to sound a bit more confident when it came to the actual interview
