Average source completeness across verified programs.
United KingdomPortsmouth was no longer accepting EU or international applications for September 2026 when this catalog audited it. That makes it the concrete instance of a caution attached to every UK pharmacy page here — high-demand MPharm courses may close early, and live availability controls. Its fee is also explicitly subject to annual increase.
Every UK pharmacy record in this catalog carries the same standing note: high-demand MPharm courses may close earlier than the published deadline, and live course availability controls. Reading's record adds that its 2026 intake may be full. Portsmouth's states plainly that the university was no longer accepting EU and international applications for September 2026 at the audit date, verified 2026-06-15.
That is worth understanding structurally rather than as a single closed door. UK pharmacy's published calendar is generous — an equal-consideration deadline of 14 January 2026 at 18:00 UK time and a final application date of 24 September 2026 — and considerably later than medicine's 15 October close. But the September date is explicitly subject to vacancies, and this is what the tail looks like when a popular course fills.
So the deadline is not the constraint on a UK pharmacy application; availability is. Check the course is still recruiting before doing anything else, and treat January as the real date rather than September.
If Portsmouth has reopened for a later intake, everything below applies again. If it has not, the fee and requirements here describe what it charged and asked when last audited.
£19,950 per academic year, confirmed for 2026-2027 from the official course page, about €23,068 at the ECB reference rate this site uses for planning. Our record adds that the fee is subject to annual increase.
That places Portsmouth alongside Brighton rather than Kingston in the way it handles escalation. Kingston publishes every year of its ladder — £19,900 rising to £22,400 — so an applicant can compute the total. Brighton and Portsmouth state that fees may rise without saying by how much. Four years at €23,068 comes to roughly €92,300 in tuition, and that figure should be read as a floor.
Portsmouth's living costs run about €11,600 a year on this site's presets, so four years adds €46,400 and the all-in figure is about €138,672.
The comparison with Sunderland is instructive. Portsmouth charges €58 a year less in tuition and finishes about €4,568 more expensive across the degree, because its city costs €1,200 a year more. That is the last of many demonstrations in this profile set that a fee comparison without a city comparison decides nothing.
Selection is a UCAS application followed by an online values-based interview that includes a situational judgement test for all shortlisted applicants.
That combination is the most specific interview format published by any pharmacy school in this catalog. Kingston names a values-based assessment without describing it; Brighton runs a maths test then an interview; Portsmouth states both the values framing and an embedded situational judgement component, and confirms it is online.
Situational judgement testing appears elsewhere in this profile set at Edinburgh and Hull York, where it forms part of the UCAT for medicine applicants. Here it sits inside the interview itself rather than in a separate admissions test.
The award is a four-year MPharm (Hons) from the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences. English is the teaching and placement language, and the published requirement is an international qualification equivalent to Portsmouth's chemistry and science requirements, English proof, interview and fitness-to-practise checks.
Applicants who will confirm the course has reopened to international students before planning around it, who are comfortable with a values-based interview containing a situational judgement component, and who read the four-year tuition figure as a floor rather than a total.
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.
