No, pharmacy undergraduate courses in the UK, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the USA almost always require an English proficiency test like IELTS or TOEFL.

- Pharmacy programs are highly regulated and need proof of English skills for both admission and future professional registration.
- Some universities may waive this requirement if you completed previous education in English, but such exceptions are rare and not guaranteed.
- Even if a university grants admission without IELTS, professional licensing bodies may still require English test results later.

To maximize your options and meet both admission and licensing requirements, you should plan to take an English proficiency test.
