Some helpp on pharmacy + pharmacology plss

Im applying for uni and i added a course at kingston university which is pharmacology with a year in industry but i just found out that reading university also has the same course. Kingston has lower previously accepted grades and a gold TEF rating while reading has Silver TEF and a higher previously accepted grades chart so im kinda confused on which to apply for. Im applying to phatmacology as a back up since MPharm is my first choice. Helpp plsss

Be aware that none of these 'badges' mean anything in reality - and they certainly dont mean that you will like the course more or enjoy being at that Uni, or that you are more likely to have a great career or an instantly happy life.

More important will be opportunities for any sort of work placement or study abroad as part of the course - these add heaps to your graduate CV. Most employers don't actually care about 'which Uni' - they are more interested in what else you did at Uni and your degree grade.

Hi @kinzaaaaaaaaa

Great to hear that you are thinking of studying at Kingston! I have a few friends here that study MPharm and really enjoy it, they have lots of great placement options so you can get good hands on experience.

I would personally really recommend going to an open day for both unis if you can, as it will really give you a good idea of what the courses are like and a feel for the universities. It is also a good chance to see the facilities and speak to staff and students. You can book a place on the next open day on the website Open Days and events | Kingston University London

I can also link this post Do you have any questions about studying Pharmacy? - Kingston University - The Student Room it is an old thread from a previous rep who studied pharmacy at Kingston, but it might be useful and have already answered some of your subject specific questions.

If you have any questions about Kingston don't hesitate to ask :smile:
