United KingdomGBVerified ProgramsUlster University runs one English-taught health program in Coleraine, in pharmacy. Its confirmed 2026-27 fee is €20,224 a year.
Average source completeness across verified programs.
United KingdomUlster publishes its full entry requirements where most UK pharmacy schools in this catalog do not — exact A level grades, exact GCSE grades, and IELTS band-by-band minimums, all named. It is also the Northern Ireland entry, which means AccessNI rather than the DBS or PVG schemes used elsewhere in the UK, and at €20,224 a year it is the cheapest of the fifteen pages remaining in this block.
The requirement is A levels at AAB including chemistry and one of biology, mathematics, physics, applied science, or life and health sciences. GCSE English and mathematics at 4 or C, plus chemistry at 4 or C or double science at 44 or CC. English at IELTS 6.5, with 6.5 in speaking and no other band below 6.0. A competency interview follows, with an AccessNI or overseas police statement and occupational-health checks.
That was unusually complete when written: at the time, the numeric tables for Bangor, Liverpool John Moores, Robert Gordon and Reading were all unrecovered. A deeper official-source audit on 2026-08-12 has since recovered most of them, so Ulster is no longer alone — but it remains among the most fully specified, and it was published without needing to be chased.
The detail worth pausing on is the English requirement, because it is not a single number. IELTS 6.5 overall sounds lower than Bangor's 7.0, but Ulster additionally requires 6.5 specifically in speaking and nothing below 6.0 anywhere. A candidate with a strong overall band and one weak component can fail either school's rule, and neither publishes that as a headline.
Criminal-record clearance in the United Kingdom is not one process. England and Wales use DBS, Scotland uses PVG, and Northern Ireland uses AccessNI. Ulster's published requirement names AccessNI or an overseas police statement.
For an overseas applicant the practical question is the same in all three cases and worth asking early: what does the school accept in place of a domestic disclosure, how long does an overseas police certificate take to obtain from your own country, and when in the process is it needed. The answer is rarely on the course page.
This profile set has now recorded all three schemes — PVG at Edinburgh and Robert Gordon, DBS across the English schools, AccessNI here.
£17,490 per academic year, confirmed for 2026-2027, which converts to about €20,224 at the ECB reference rate this site uses for planning — 1 EUR = GBP 0.86483, taken on 2026-06-15. Four years is roughly €80,900 in tuition.
Coleraine's living costs run about €10,600 a year on this site's presets, rated Medium confidence, so four years is about €42,400 and the all-in figure is roughly €123,300 — the lowest of the five pharmacy schools profiled today and of the fifteen UK MPharm pages still to come. Reading, also profiled today, is about €66,500 more across the same four years.
Pharmacy uses the ordinary UCAS calendar rather than medicine's early one: the equal-consideration deadline is 14 January 2026 at 18:00 UK time, with UCAS having opened 13 May 2025, submissions from 2 September 2025, and a final application date of 24 September 2026 subject to vacancies. That is three months later than the 15 October medicine deadline and it stays open far longer — a genuinely different application year from the one UK medicine imposes.
Applicants who want to check themselves against a fully published grade and English table before applying, who need the cheapest UK MPharm still available in this block, and who are aiming at Canadian rather than US registration.
This is a pharmacy program, so the World Directory of Medical Schools listing and ECFMG Sponsor Note evidence this site carries for medicine does not apply, and the catalog holds no school-level medical registry record for it. A four-year UK MPharm does not meet the stated post-2003 five-year minimum on duration alone, so this degree does not by itself support the FPGEC route to US registration — confirm your position with the NABP and your intended state board. For Canada, the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada says eligible UK graduates may qualify for the streamlined pathway after Document Evaluation. Verify both directly with the relevant regulator before enrolling; nothing here establishes eligibility for examination, registration, or licensure.
