All applicants
New Standards for the initial education and training of pharmacists were published in 2021 by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). One important point is that the new Standards stipulate that "all admissions and selection processes must include an interactive component, to assess applicants' values and professional suitability". Therefore shortlisted applicants (including international applicants) must complete an interview.

More detail is provided in the Admissions Policy Statement for Pharmacy which can be accessed from the link below under Selection Criteria. It is essential that you read our guidance below on 'How we choose our students' prior to submitting your UCAS application.

The cost of studying at Queen's University Belfast varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen.

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay £25300 annually, to study in Queen's University Belfast.

Our graduates typically pursue careers in community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, GP Practice and the pharmaceutical industry. However, career paths in a range of other sectors include academia, scientific publishing, and regulation.
