New pharmacy schools seek applications from students

Students are being invited to apply for places at three new schools of pharmacy, at Anglia Polytechnic University, Cambridge, Kingston University, south west London, and the universities of Kent and Greenwich at Medway, to start this autumn. The University of Reading is expecting to take applications for its new school during 2005.

Entry requirements for the four-year master of pharmacy (MPharm) degree courses suggest that scores of 220–320 points on the new University and College Admissions Service tariff will be needed. (An A-grade at A-level is worth 120 points.) Kingston University is also offering a one-year science foundation course. This course will allow subsequent entry to all the university’s science degrees, including pharmacy.

An Article this week (p130) looks at the experiences of staff and students at the University of East Anglia school of pharmacy.
