Selection Days

Applications are welcomed from a wide array of background and you are advised to consult the Entry Requirements section and UCAS. When reviewing your application the admissions tutor looks at your predicted grades and personal statement. Your personal statement should be personal to you and not what you expect the admissions tutor wants to read. You are more likely to stand out from the crowd if it contains unique facts and a demonstration that you have researched your future vocation.

After the admissions tutor has reviewed your application, you may be offered a course change to pharmaceutical science and will be invited to attend a selection day for that degree. This does not mean that your application for pharmacy at Huddersfield has ended, and you are encouraged to attend the selection day to discuss your future studies.

The team believe that choosing the right university to read pharmacy is one of the most important decisions that you will make. Because of this we will invite all of our prospective applicants to a selection day. This will give you the opportunity to meet the team and view the facilities, enabling you to make an informed choice about the next four years of your life. The selection day also allows us to meet and assess your suitability to study pharmacy by means of a test and interview.

The selection days start promptly at the time indicated on your invite and will last for approximately three to three and a half hours. You are advised to attire in the manner of a future healthcare professional.

The test covers the knowledge and skills that we anticipate you will bring to the start of your undergraduate studies, covering aspects of maths, problem solving, chemistry, biology and written English. The test will cover the basics of each discipline and should require no revising.

For the interview you will be allocated a member of the academic staff for 10-15mins and you will be asked questions relating to yourself and pharmacy, this is a two way process and you can also ask questions of the academics.

Throughout the selection day there will be ample opportunities for informal discussions, a tour of the facilities and an optional tour of the halls of residence.
