[farm-a-sea]

Hi Robert,

I just read your post and it reminded me of when i was your age. I am only 22 but i was in a similar situation as to yourself. I did not know what i wanted to do in university, however i did know it was going to be science related. So I worked voluntarily in a pharmacy and opticians as they appealed to me. The wok experience made my decision to study pharmacy alot easier. The experience i gained from my pharmacy was great, such as the enjoyment of helping people and meeting new people on a daily basis. My advice would be if you do enjoy working in a pharmacy then go for it.

Similar to you I studied biology and chemistry A levels and i did not have any problems applying for pharmacy courses. Most university except two sciences but you would have to contact them to find out what is there exact admission criteria.

As i mentioned earlier i am currently a 4th pharmacy student. My opinion on the course is that it challenging but at the same I really enjoyed it and i believe it brought the best out of me. I am studying at University of East Anglia and i would highly recommend it to you. Great university and the course, staff, students, facilities and campus is excellent.

I hope i helped and good luck with whatever you do.
