MPharm 2025
I've applied to uni and in my mocks i got BBB for bio, chem and media. My teacher put my predicted as BBB though i got those results in my mocks and are refusing to push it up. I applied to UCL, KCL, Leicester, DMU and northampton (pharmacology- as a back up).
I don't want to go far from home so these were close.
I've got rejected from KCL and Leicester already. I've got an interview at DMU and unconditional at northampton.
Do you think it'll be OK and that i'll get in?
If i get DMU, is it bad? Would it matter if im going to a uni so low in ranking????

Wait are you applying for medicine or pharmacy?
What do you think your actual grades will be?
For medicine, the universities ranking doesn't really matter as much compared to other subjects because a medicine degree has to be a certain standard in order to educate new doctors.
If you get better grades than your predicted grades you can go through clearing or reapply the next year if you are not accepted into the other universities and do not want to do pharmacology.

I want to do pharmacy. I'm working really hard to improve and will hopefully end up with As. I'm on an A for media but for biology and chemistry im on Cs/Bs. Chemistry is the worst because we don't have one of our teachers (we're meant to have 2).
I'll be happy with AAB or ABB.
I'm just really worried as if i don't get in this year, I'll have to do pharmacology (due to personal reasons) but I don't want to.

I've also heard that for pharmacy ranking doesn't matter, only accreditation does. However, I've always heard DMU to not be a great uni, but I've heard some people say it good for some courses like pharmacy.

For MPharm it doesnt actually matter where you do your degree - all MPharm degrees are accredited by the GPhC and have exactly the same syllabus, and all qualify you as a professional Pharmacist. There is therefore no 'better' degree. The NHS will not care where you trained, only that you are a qualified Pharmacist, so have no worries, DMU is fine.

Hey I wish you all the best! Regarding DMU I applied to Pharmacy and it is good for pharmacy as it is top 17 for pharmacy in the country and the teaching style is really good as I asked the lecturers when I attended the open day.. Have you looked at a foundaton year? DMU do a year zero for pharmacy, which is a 5 year course, so an extra year!

Hi
I have also applied for MPharm and I have done a lot of research on the course and found that it doesnt matter how "low" the university you go to is ranked as you will still register as a pharmacist no matter what university you go to. Make sure to prepare for the interview by making notes on questions they might ask you such as "why pharmacy" so you can get the offer.
If your alevel grades dont get you the offer in the end DMU does a foundation year so you can call them up and ask for a foundation year
Best of luck!!!!

what about medway or kingston or herts? Assuming how u applied to KCL, you must wanna be in ldn and those unis are a good choice - obvs u cant change it anymore but you can try to get into those unis via clearing if you don't like ur other unis?
Also, for most healthcare related degrees, it doesnt matter if you graduated from ARU, KCL or even DMU, as long as you have a degree, you'll be hired

You can always take a gap year, retake or go with a foundation year (kingston and manchester does those for mpharm) if your grades are not what you wished but i know ppl who got into ucl and kcl with grades like ACC-ABB for mpharm.

Tuition prices have also increased for at-home students unfortunately.
Honestly, as others have mentioned, no matter wat uni you're from it does not matter as long as you graduate with maybe a 2:1+ in mpharm. Healthcare workers are in demand, maybe not so much pharmacists in ldn but elsewhere yes they are in demand - which is why people say it doesn't matter what uni your from since people will hire you one way or the other.

in my opinion its better to do pharmacy at DMU than leicester, i say this bc the mpharm course in leicester isnt fully accredited yet whereas dmu's is fully accredited. its in top 17 courses for pharmacy and pharmacology.

It’s great to see that you’re motivated and interested in studying Pharmacy. As someone who currently studies at DMU and represents the university, I’d be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have about the Pharmacy course or DMU in general.
If you’re applying for Pharmacy, the most important thing is accreditation, not where your previous degree is from. DMU’s MPharm degree is fully accredited by the GPhC, which is what truly matters when you go into professional practice—whether in the NHS or any other healthcare setting. Access the site for more information: https://www.dmu.ac.uk/study/courses/undergraduate-courses/pharmacy-mpharm-hons-degree/pharmacy-mpharm.aspx
DMU has been delivering Pharmacy education for nearly 100 years, and the course has evolved to provide the best learning experience for students. You will also complete placements in major hospitals around Leicester, which means you’ll be well supported and gain strong clinical experience.
You mentioned rankings, and while they can be useful, they don’t necessarily reflect how well you’ll learn or how prepared you’ll be for your career. What really matters is the quality of teaching and how the modules are delivered. At DMU, we have a unique Block Teaching system, where you study one module at a time and take the exam at the end of week 7. This means you’re not overwhelmed by multiple modules at once, making it easier to stay organised and really understand the content—something students find extremely helpful for both grades and confidence.
https://www.dmu.ac.uk/empowering-university/block-teaching/index.aspx
Beyond academics, DMU offers a welcoming student community with sports clubs, societies, and DMU Global—our travel and study abroad programme where you can take part in trips related to your course or personal interests. It’s a great way to make lifelong friends and gain new experiences.
I hope this helps anyone deciding whether DMU is the right choice for studying Pharmacy! Let me know if you’d like more details.
