Hi there @Hello2230 ,

Congratulations on receiving your offer to study Pharmacy at Reading! 🙂 I haven't personally studied Pharmacy, but it is a great choice. You can find more details on your chosen course here.

In terms of the workload, I would recommend using the University of Reading chat to our ambassadors tool which can be accessed here. You can use this to find a current student who is studying Pharmacy and ask them any questions you may have specific to the course, such as the usual workload.

I have found my workload has been balanced on my course, with a mix of weekly recommended and essential readings, coursework, presentations and in-person exams. This is usually the case but is worth checking you specific course to see how the workload differs as each course will have different requirements/expectations 🙂

Do not worry too much about the workload- there is plenty of support available to students at Reading if you are struggling to keep up with the workload or need any help!

In terms of Reading as the University, I have loved my experience the past two years and would really recommend visiting the campus to get a feel for yourself. The campus is lovely, with lots of great student study spaces/opportunities, as well as a lovely lake which is really nice to walk around. If you are unable to attend an open day or visit the university, you can take a virtual tour here.

Do let us know if you have any more questions about student life or studying at Reading! We are happy to help!

All the best,
Millie 🙂
