TSR forbids detailed discussion of any specific interview tasks, tests or questions. However, predictable questions for any MPharm course are -
Why Pharmacy (and not Medicine, Chemistry or whatever), questions about organic chemistry, simple maths calculation test, some questions about how Pharmacy fits within the overall NHS, and some 'what would you do if....' questions focussed on confidentiality, ethics etc.
Lots of useful stuff here - Useful resources for MPharm PS and Interviews - The Student Room

Hi,

While I can’t share exact questions, I’d recommend reflecting on your reasons for wanting to study pharmacy and the key qualities that make a good pharmacist. Interviews often include basic numeracy calculations and ethical or scenario-based questions to assess problem-solving and decision-making skills.

A great way to prepare is to practise with a friend, family member, or teacher. It helps you get used to thinking on the spot and really increases confidence.

Wishing you the best of luck with your interview!

Hi,
Congrats on getting an interview offer.

The best way to prepare for the interview is what the others have said above. Be yourself at the interview and try to relax as best as possible.

I would say knowing the 9 Pharmacy professional standards and maybe having some examples of how you have demonstrated this so far. Ensure you understand how to do some basic pharmaceutical calculations - similar to the chemistry ones.

Best of luck with your interview and don't spend too much time overthinking it!
