I have a B.Sc. in Biology with pre-pharmacy. Is it possible for me to study PharmD in the United Kingdom? Any insights would be great.

Thank you.

I'm interested in any information about this as well, as I'm unsure of the application process and am confused with the research I found.

Here is a post on a UK pharmacy forum - about this topic... It may also be covered somewhere on SDN, but I haven't done a search yet (might be the next step for those interested).

As an alternative... There are American Air Force bases located all over UK - some of which have medical facilities. It is possible to be a an american, and serving on those bases for the Air Force. You would only need to have a valid license in any of the 50 states to qualify.

I'm actually really interested in that too. I've looked it up and I know you can get a degree that can transfer over (you have to look at the boards and all that for information on international degrees). But, I don't know about getting in. I looked at some websites and none of them had any helpful info, so if anyone is randomly an expert that would be awesome!

I researched a bit but they have no information on US Students wanting to get their pharmD there. Also I know that a foreign graduate has to pass their FPGEE to be able to take the NAPLEX with other internship stuff. But I still dont know the convenient way of applying to UK schools..their method is quite different. 🙁
