Well done for your interview!
when did you apply if you dont mind me asking? They would ask questions like why pharmacy, why not medicine/pharmacology/nursing (depending your answer), why ucl. There are a lot of post about ucl interview here so maybe search “ucl pharmacy interview” and see what other people have said too

when i had my exa, last year we had an essay, some math questions and chemistry. then when you pass that its an interview with a couple people questioning you like why you want to do pharmacy, any problems you have seen in real life relating to pharmacy and some things like that
