there is only the masters degree course available to students in the uk who wish to become pharmacists - widely accepted to be equivalent to the usa's pharmD programmes, if you count the higher education studied prior to the degree course.Originally Posted by challa3
However having said that pharmacy is practised quite differently here than in the us - most of us would need at least some type of internship or pre-reg to learn and adapt to different systems, laws and methods of practice. The same could be said of taking your skills and training to many countries outside the EU (and many inside the EU too, but i won't touch on that here!).
In addition to the MPharm degree, other postgraduate courses and degrees can be undertaken, including MSc programmes, supplementary prescriber courses, independent prescriber courses, phd's and many more. Some even use pharmacy as a way into medicine, using their mpharm to reduce their medical degree course requirements and course length (eg route to become a GP can be fast-tracked to 4 years, instead of the more typical 7)

Which bachelor's degree you have? What do you want to do?
If you want to practice pharmacy, u have to clear OSPAP and get registered, else if you want to do research in pharmacy - go for Msc or integrated PhD courses etc.

challa, I strongly suggest that you read the overseas forum section as almost all the answers to your questions will have been covered many many times there.

here's a list of schools which have fast track medicine courses, but list is several years old now so don't know if they still do it.
