What to expect from studying at a great pharmacy school?

  • You’ll have to learn a lot of information and even reinvent the way you’ve been learning up to now.
  • Classes almost always include patient case studies.
  • Tests are more focused on patient cases as opposed to raw theory and memorising information.
  • Study groups are a great way to learn for exams and understand complex concepts.
  • There are many great student organisations to join that will help you to establish connections and offer you extra-curricular experience.
  • Most learning and exams happen on your personal laptop, so you’ll have to get used to using apps and digital tools.

How to know if pharmacy school is right for you?

Consider the following factors:

  • Are you passionate about Chemistry, chemical substances and patient care?
  • Do your grades and previous experience fit the university requirements?
  • Can you afford it? Are there any scholarship opportunities?
  • Consider an internship or take some time as an assistant in a pharmacy to see if it’s something you’d like to do.
  • Ask practising pharmacists how they like their job and if they would do anything differently in their career.
  • Do you like research and have an analytical mind? There will be plenty of research, so you’d better!
  • If you can afford the trip and the time, try visiting the school before applying. You’ll get a feel of the atmosphere on campus, the city life and your future colleagues.
  • How far the school is from your home country and how ok are you with being very far or too close to home?

The answers to these questions can be different for everyone. Don’t take other people’s answers for granted and do your best to find your own. If you decide pharmacy school is for you, that’s great. If not, that’s alright as well. There are plenty of other degrees and future careers to consider and we’re here to help you find them.Written by Alexandru PopShare on
