"pre-reg" is short for "pre-registration": after 4 years of university, pharmacy graduates have to complete a year-long "apprenticeship" in a working environment, i.e a community pharmacy, in industry, or in a hospital pharmacy; only after completing this AND passing the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain's registration exam do they become fully-fledged pharmacists and allowed to work unsupervised. So the salary of a pre-reg student is that of an apprentice. The £15k mentioned would be an annual amount; the day you become registered, you can command double that at least!
