[Khans]

Hi i am student of Bpharm in Pakistan.I want to do Mphil in pharmaclology frm Uk university.The question that is after completing my Mphil and wanted to work in UK i will sit in RPSGB examintaion directly or will have to take OSPAP, pre-registration etc and then to sit in RPSGB.In short the degree with i wud be applying is frm UK (Mphil) so sit directly in test or like other overseas pharmacists having degress from abroad will take OSPAP,pre-registration and then RPSGB test.

I'm sure we have answered this before: the only way to register in the UK from a country outside the EU is to do the OSPAP or an MPharm (4 years undergrad degree) and pre-reg, regardless of whatever other additional qualifications you have. I believe even if you get a UK Phd, you will still have to do the OSPAP if you want to practice as a pharmacist.

Please have a look on the rsgb website and search this forum.

A lot of people seem to do a phd and then move to the states.
