A Pharmacy Personal Statement is part of your UCAS application. It’s your chance to explain why you want to study pharmacy, demonstrate your suitability for the course, and show your commitment to a career in healthcare.

• From 2026, UCAS no longer uses one long essay.

• Instead, you’ll answer 3 structured questions with a minimum of 350 characters each (total limit still 4,000 characters).

• This makes the process clearer, fairer, and less overwhelming.
