[jawwadbaig]

Hi,
I've got 4 years Degree in Pharmacy from Pakistan (Punjab Uni) and currently living in UK under working visa category. Could you please guide me:

1) i want to get register with RPSGB and want to do OSPAP, But is my degree equivalent to UK pharmacy degree? With my 4 years degree from Pakistan, will I be accepted by RPSGB or do i have to undertake a diploma from UK first.

Many thanks for your time and help.

Well dear, am a pharmacist from PU, Pakistan aswell. The process is really smooth except that the compulsory requirement for getting ielts band 7 in each of the module during a single sitting; this is what gets to nerves at times. i have come to know of some of my seniors in uk who went through the test 13 times before they acheived the required band.

Once done with this, you fulfill all the requirements.
Detailed info is available at rpsgb.org

in case of doubts .... keep posting will try to stay in touch
