Manchester reviews undergraduate applications on a rolling basis; apply by spring for fall. PharmD applicants apply through PharmCAS, usually in the autumn or winter before they start.
Most programmes start in August. Some undergraduate programmes accept spring entrants in January.
You'll need an F-1 visa. Once you accept your offer and send proof of funding, Manchester University issues the Form I-20. After that it's the SEVIS fee, the DS-160 form and an interview at a US embassy or consulate.
Pharmacy, pharmacogenomics, biology-chemistry, nursing and accounting are popular. Undergraduate entry is based on high school grades and IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 70. PharmD needs prerequisite science courses.
Manchester gives merit scholarships to most undergraduates, including international students. Pharmacy scholarships are more limited.
