    I did the course as a mature student too (I won student of the year that year :P ; and the next year), and I'm sure that you'll enjoy it. One of the subjects in it is actually Pharmaceutical Science, so I'm sure you'll be great at that. The other subjects are biochemistry, a food processing subject, and quality control / statistics.

    The lecturers are very nice and approachable, and you will be made to work hard. It is very hands-on, and you'll get a lot of lab-time. If you've any specific questions, then just ask. If you even want to see what the notes are like, I can pass some onto you (I have them on my hard-disk).

    No need to be nervous. I'd argue that whoever is interviewing you is slightly nervous too. They want you to join the course because they'll then get money, and you want to join to enhance your career. It's a win-win situation.

    Just finished my first year of this course, it's not as hard as you'd expect & more than worth the effort. Good luck
