Preparing for Pharmacy

Preparing For Pharmacy, part of Preparing For, gives students the chance to enter a world beyond prescriptions. From the design and manufacture of medicine to patient care, the insights that these activities will illuminate for future pharmacists are unmissable. They’ll also brush up on their interview skills and will receive expert mentoring. On top of all that, we’ll support them to gain real-world experience of being a pharmacist.

Students need to apply for a place themselves so please pass on the info to anyone you think might be interested. There’s lots more information for students on the UEA website so they can understand what they’ll get involved with over the 18 months of activity. In person and online activities will take place during school holidays, evenings or weekends. Some activities will be self–directed learning to be completed in student’s own time.  There’s a real mix of delivery styles throughout the 18 months to enable the widest possible engagement. 

Your students can get involved in:

• In-person welcome event
• 5 day non-residential, on-campus summer school
• 2 or 3 days in-person pharmacy placement
• Application and interview preparation
• Chemistry masterclass and revision support
• E-mentoring online with a current UEA student throughout the application process
• Transition support on-campus and access experienced advisers for students who go on to study at UEA
