Has anyone got an offer for Newcastle MPharm yet, if so, how did you prepare for the interview?

Hi there,

I'm a current pharmacy student and although I didn't do an interview at Newcastle I can share some general tips and things from the pharmacy course information on the Newcastle university website.

https://www.ncl.ac.uk/mediav8/study-with-us/general-documents/Newcastle%20University%20MPharm%20Interview%20Process%202025%20Entry.pdf
This pdf goes through the interview process so have a read of this. Also there also an interview video on the website so make sure to review that.

Make sure to go through your personal statement, understand how to answer "why pharmacy" type questions, then your experiences - like extra-curriculars, part time jobs and reflect on how you've demonstrated communication, teamwork etc. Be sure to look through the Standards of Pharmacy Professional on the GPhC website as well.

I hope this helps and best of luck for your interview.

i would recommend having a few questions you can ask at the end, it used up more time than the actual interview and i felt i stood out
