I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, I looked around and didnt find any threads pertaining to this.

Apparently there is something called Master of pharmacy offered that's 2 yrs in duration and you can become a pharmacist after. How is this different from B.Sc pharm or PharmD?? Are there any drawbacks from pursuing a Masters instead of doing a B.Sc?

Ive been accepted for B.Sc pharm program but would rather graduate 2 yrs earlier and start working. If any of you have knowledge about this, please share it with me.

Are you sure this isn't a Masters in Pharmaceutical Sciences? Also, I was under the impression that all the BS degrees for pharmacy practice have been discontinued.

From what I know is that Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) is offered in the UK and Australia instead fo BScPharm. However, in the States and Canada it's PharmD.

correct me if i'm wrong.

It would help if the OP would state what country they are talking about.
