There are no specific additional requirements for admission.
The Cardiff School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences awards a number of scholarships per annum to International students who are self-funded. Such awards are made on the basis of academic performance, interview performance and need.
Candidates will only be invited to apply for a scholarship if they have already received an Unconditional, or Conditional, offer from the School of Pharmacy. The level of award will normally be a minimum of £1,000 or a maximum of £2,000 in any academic year. The Pharmacy International Scholarship Panel will consider all applications by early August each year.
Resit candidates will be considered but can be set higher than standard conditional offer grades.
