UEA Pharmacy Applicant Day

Hey guys, just got my offer for Pharmacy with a preparatory year at UEA and I've got an Applicant Day on May 10th. Has anyone been to one of these before? What's it like? Is it a full day of uni lectures or more about describing the course? Can I bring parents along or is it better to go solo? Any info would be super helpful.

Hello! @AB2057_ukDZ 🙂
Firstly, well done on your offer!! 🙂
You will get a schedule for the day once you book/closer to the time but most applicant days at UEA follow this kind of structure:

1.

Check in. This is just so the university knows who's here and who isn't

2.

A welcome talk. This is a talk about UEA life, with a panel of students. Here, students will describe what it;s like to live and study at UEA.

3.

Subject talks v.s. guest Q&A panel. Here, you will be split off from any guests you come with (you're more than welcome to bring parents and/or siblings!!). You will attend a subject talk where you will meet lecturers/course directors who will explain the course further to you. It's also a chance to meet others on your course. Any parents/carers and guests will go to a Q&A panel with multiple specialists such as student finance, accomodation team etc.. and they can ask questions they may have.

4.

Reunited + tours. Once subject talks and the Q&A are done, you will get reunited with any guests you bring and then you are free to go on tours of the campus and accommodation. You can also go to Norwich city centre if you'd like (you will get a free bus ticket).

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions! 🙂
