OMG – that’s terrible. I know a pharmacy professor from that University…he was the best teacher I had (he was in a different university then)…

Very disappointed…
Hope they sort it out

It's only been going for a year. This is why you should never choose a uni which isn't accredited. What will happen to the students I wonder.

I don't think its fair to say this about new pharmacy schools. If this was the case then no one would go to the new schools. I went for the open day at Preston (UCLan) and its facilities were top notch, and their head of school was one of the senior staff from Manchester.

The reason Wolves lost its accreditation was due to not having a member of staff in a certain position. Apparently the students complained about teaching methods at the school, but no reports have come out to confirm this or any findings from this. There are always bad lecturers at every university so this could be contributing to the complaints.

I heard that potential new students can try and get into another school of pharmacy and if they do then Wolves will release their UCAS so the other school can take them. Though i imagine Wolves are trying as hard as they can to solve this problem and get re-accredited. If they don't then i guess this year will have counted for nothing for the students that go there.

even if they were released, say a student got in with low grades at the time, he/she wouldn't be able to find another pharmacy school will they.

wolves will probably get it sorted - look at all the trouble DMU had in the past...seems to me that pharmsoc might have been a bit heavy-handed - after all, how key is a 'head of research' to the quality of the teaching course? Not much 'till postgrad level....

They're only released if they find a place at another school. Wolves will not release them until that point. Please make sure you are reading my posts properly - don't wanna get accused of saying something I didn't now do I?

But it's still pointless if they can't all find a different uni right?

Well, not if Wolves get re-accredited again. There is a a small caption in this weeks C+D saying that wolves has been in talks with RPSGB about getting their accreditation back, but neither party has commented as of yet.
