How do you guys prepare for your IELETS and interviews for uni?

I've finished A levels (Chemistry, Biology, Psychology) at BBB and am on a gap year. Looking at MPharm degrees, in the area of the north West şuch as Liverpool, UCLan, Manchester etc. Any student tips on applying, interviews, or these unis for pharmacy, plus how and where to find resources for IELETS practice? How much harder would you say İ
IELETS actually is compared to GCSE English.
Thank you.

Hi @Alaa7272,

It's great to hear that you are thinking of applying to study with us. You can find more information like entry fees, hear from students and get a deeper insight into our Pharmacy degree here. When it comes to the IELTS English tests, I haven't done one before but after looking into it they have some recourses, sample questions and videos on their website which you can explore here.

I did have interviews when I applied for university but they were for creative courses so the way they run will be different to pharmacy interviews. My interviews were very portfolio based, showing my creativity and process as well as some questions about how I work, what my inspirations are and so on. I would say just be yourself! We do have a handy page with tips and ways of preparing for one of our interviews, which you can transfer into other university interviews. You can find out more here.

Lastly, you can find our admissions contact details or other teams if you wish to speak with them or have any further questions here 🙂

Hope this helps and best wishes,
^Zac
