But I am still a little hesitant. Why do the places in Brighton get fill up so quickly other than the geographical factor? By the way, what are the chances of OSPAP students to secure a part time job in the pharmacy?
Well, for the money but more for the learning experience.... |
Brighton is very popular for the very reason you want to go there, it allows you to work and study at night if you wish, If you are planning on working RGU is probably not the best choice because the timetable is very full and there are no regular free times, at one time I had Thursday afternoons off, then for 5 weeks all Thursdays and at other times different hours on different days each week.
RGU does have a 'virtual campus' and a lot of material is there study at your own pace,I can't remember when I last opened a pharmacology text book. There a few exams and tests but a lot of applied work like mock patient presentations. One thing I found a problem was all the group work, I'm something of a loner.
Quite a few of my classmates do work part time. especially on the weekends but I don't know how they manage it, the workload is so heavy here.
The other thing with RGU is that the semester break is very short so the only real time off is after completion and before starting pre-reg. As I mentioned before there are a few placements, you get to spend some time in a pharmacy talking to the pharmacist and seeing how things are done as part of the course.
