About the programme

This interview assesses your reasons for studying pharmacy and your understanding of its scientific and patient-facing responsibilities. The panel wants evidence of careful thinking, respect for medicine safety, clear communication and readiness to study chemistry, biology and the use of medicines.

How to prepare

  1. Learn how pharmacists contribute to medicine safety, patient advice and wider healthcare teams.
  2. Review chemistry and biology topics that connect to medicines and human health.
  3. Practise responding to medicine scenarios without diagnosing or recommending treatment beyond your role.
  4. Prepare examples showing care with instructions, measurements or detailed information.
  5. Reflect on why pharmacy suits you better than another health profession.

Common mistakes

  • Reducing pharmacy to dispensing boxes without recognising clinical and safety responsibilities.
  • Giving treatment advice when the scenario calls for referral or supervision.
  • Overlooking allergies, interactions or unclear instructions in a medicine scenario.
  • Using technical language without checking whether a patient understands.
