Canadian studying pharmacy in UK

[spyder45]

Hey, is 8k/9k in pounds? Ya I hope it does not affect International students at all because then it will cost us more then. My application is going okay right now. I told my professor to write my recommendation letter for me but he still has not completed it yet so I am just waiting upon that. I was planning on just going to my high school and getting my transcripts, they pretty much give it right away!!

What kind of responses have you received from Bradford and the other unis? And also, do we have to send transcripts to each university? If so, then i will need to get 5 and I think it is like $10 to $15 each! I will also have to get my university transcripts as well which will cost me more than. Also, do you know how much it costs to apply through UCAS?

And yes there are a lot of Canadians students applying so I am just worried that I can get accepted there or not because my high school marks were not that great but my university marks meet their criteria.

Hey, is ONE reference letter enough to finish up the UCAS application process? I finished up pretty much everything for my application process. My teacher is in the process of writing my letter. Everything shall be done soon.

How's everything going spyder? Ok i know the answer to ONE of your questions. The cost per Uni is 21 pounds..or 33 dollars. Not too expensive. As for the positive feedbacks, Keele university told me i'd get in because they require 2.7 GPA on your post-secondary studies. Bradford also told me something along the same line. I'm not quite sure about the transcripts. I'm just gonna photocopy it and send it to them I don't wanna get like 10 original transcripts, that's ridiculous lol. By the way do you have msn Spyder? Life is much easier there. Did you end up writing the PCAT? or any new plans ?!!
Anyway let me know what's going on.

Ya I will come back to Canada or go to the states because the salary in the UK is not as much as in canada or the states. When one of those pharmacy advisors from liverpool came to my uni a few weeks ago, he was like it is not hard going back because all you have to do is pass one of their exams. And he was like after completing ur four years at uk, you will have a work type of placement during ur 5th year and that work experience will prepare you very well for the exam that you would have to write to work in canada. He was like it will be a piece of cake lol. So my fingers are crossed....hahaa.

If anybody has recently graduated and know about this 5th year thing and if you will be paid during it or not than any feedback is appreciated!

And I am used to drinking tea with bread in the morning so it wont be a total adjustment for me lol. I think coffee tastes horrible and it honestly makes me more sleepy afterwards than keeping me awake. I hope to bring the canadian lifestyle to uk so ppl will start behaving like we do! :P It will be a challenging mission that is for certain

Hi I am currently doing a master degree in pharmacy in UK but I am planning to go back to Canada. Do you know if I can sit for the Canadian license exams with my master of pharmacy degree alone? Do I need to complete the pre-reg training and obtain a license in the UK to become eligible to sit for the license exam in Canada? Thanks so much! =)

Hey to work in Canada all you have to do is pass their exam and work for some months as an internship I think. This is the link to their website:
Welcome to the PEBC Website for Pharmacists!

What uni are you in right now?

Hey Torontopharm, I wanted to know if you have completed the application procedure yet and how far you have gone? I am leaning more and more towards Liverpool because it is cheaper than the other universities and alot of Canadians go there. Also, did you find out if the tuition fees increase will also lead to an increase in tuition fees for international students?
