University of Sunderland

Routes in that are not A levels

The typical offer is 120 UCAS points, with A levels that must include chemistry and one other science at grade B or above. Accepted routes also include relevant T Level and Access to Higher Education science conditions, with international qualification equivalence and English requirements, followed by interview, DBS and occupational-health and fitness checks.

Naming T Levels and Access courses is genuinely unusual here. Across the ten UK pharmacy schools profiled in this pass, only De Montfort, Ulster and Sunderland publish complete requirements at all, and only this one records alternative qualification routes rather than A levels and international equivalents alone.

For a candidate who took a vocational or return-to-study route, that is the difference between a published path and an enquiry. It also affects international applicants indirectly: a school that has mapped several domestic qualification types is usually better set up to assess an unfamiliar overseas one.

The chemistry requirement is firm — chemistry plus one other science at B — which is stricter in subject terms than De Montfort, where psychology is accepted as the second subject.

Dearest of the identical-city four

£20,000 per academic year, confirmed for 2026-2027 and verified on 2026-07-05, about €23,126 at the ECB planning rate this site uses. Four years is roughly €92,500 in tuition.

Sunderland's living costs run about €10,400 a year on this site's presets, the same as Lincoln, Wolverhampton and Middlesbrough, so four years adds €41,600 and the all-in figure is about €134,104.

Within that identical-city group Sunderland is the most expensive, €7,864 above Lincoln across the degree. Because the living costs are identical, that entire gap is tuition — which makes these four the one place in this catalog where a fee comparison means exactly what it appears to mean.

Our record adds a caution specific to this figure: use this value only with the source URL shown. The fee comes from the university's undergraduate fees page rather than the course page, so it should be re-checked against the MPharm listing before it is relied on.

All offers subject to interview

Selection is a UCAS application and interview, with all offers subject to successful performance at interview and mandatory compliance checks. There is no route through on grades alone.

The award is a four-year MPharm from the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. English is the teaching and placement language, so there is no local-language requirement of the kind that applies across the non-English-speaking countries in this catalog.

The UCAS pharmacy calendar applies: equal-consideration deadline 14 January 2026 at 18:00 UK time, final application date 24 September 2026 subject to vacancies, with the standing caution that high-demand MPharm courses may close earlier.
