Hi everyone! I’ve received offers for:
Pharmacy (Foundation Year → MPharm)
BSc Physiotherapy (direct entry)
I genuinely like both, but I’m really stuck when it comes to job security and future prospects.
For pharmacists/physios and graduates:
How easy is it to find a job after graduating?
How secure is the career long-term?
What’s the work-life balance like?
Which profession do you think has better opportunities, including abroad/migration?
If you had to choose again, which would you pick and why?
I’d really appreciate honest experiences, including the negatives.

Hi everyone,
I have an interview for the University of Liverpool’s Preparation for Pharmacy course soon, and I’m hoping someone can share their experience.
My situation is a bit unusual:
I’m a Home applicant.
I have an Iranian high school diploma and pre-university certificate (UK ENIC says they’re comparable to UK qualifications).
I have Functional Skills English Level 2.
I’m waiting for my GCSE Maths result.
The only thing I don’t have is GCSE English Language.
I emailed the School of Pharmacy, and they told me they don’t accept Functional Skills for English and that they accept IELTS. However, I’ve still been invited for an interview, and they haven’t asked me to send any qualifications yet.
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
Did you receive an offer without GCSE English Language?
Were they flexible because you had overseas qualifications?
Did they give you a conditional offer and ask you to meet the English requirement later?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thanks!

Anyone interviewed for Liverpool’s Preparation for Pharmacy course?

got an offer for Access to Combined Medicine, but my plan was to apply for Pharmacy afterwards.
The problem is that recently I keep hearing people say pharmacy in the UK is oversaturated now, jobs are getting harder to find, it’s not secure anymore, and that a lot of graduates struggle after uni. Some people are even telling me it’s basically 50/50 whether you get a good job afterwards and that I’d be better off choosing a different degree.
Now I’m honestly really unsure what to do. I already got the offer and filled everything out, but if I don’t go down the pharmacy route, I genuinely don’t even know what else I’d do.
People already in pharmacy (or graduates), what’s the reality actually like right now in the UK? Is it really that bad or is social media exaggerating it
