General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC)
To apply for this course, you must first apply to the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and pass their adjudication process, please see the GPhC website for full details on how to apply. After adjudication, the University will be informed of successful candidates. You can then apply by completing our online application form and attaching several required documents.
As part of your application, we will also need the following documentary evidence:
1. A copy of your GPhC-approved adjudication letter.
2. Proof of English proficiency (please refer to the GPhC’s guidance on how they assess evidence of English language skills).
3. A letter of good standing from the police or a completed Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) (if available).
Interview
All offers are subject to interview.
Interviews will take place between November and February on set dates and are only available on those dates. We have a limited number of interview slots available so you will be allocated one as soon as possible once you are eligible for interview. Please make all attempts to attend this. If you cannot, please notify us immediately.
Once you’ve been interviewed, if successful you will be sent an updated offer letter removing the condition for interview. If you have any outstanding additional conditions at that point, please send these to us as soon as possible to complete your application and secure your place.
Please contact us at internationaladmissions@sunderland.ac.uk if you have any questions about your outstanding conditions. If you have passed your interview, your place is only secured once all conditions of your offer are met. If you are unsuccessful, we will withdraw your offer.
Once you have met all conditions, if applicable, and you require a Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) then we will start to issue these from the end of March which is the earliest point we are able to. Once you have this, you will be able to apply for your visa. We recommend you apply for that as soon as possible in case of any delays when making your visa application. Once you have that, the University will be in touch around the induction and arrival process.
Once places are full, we will contact all applicants to let them know and we will offer them an opportunity to join a reserve list. If any successful applicants withdraw, we will then go to the reserve list on a first come, first served basis for those who have met all conditions and are ready to progress.
