It depends. Eligibility for the overseas pharmacist assessment program in Australia and the UK is based on your pharmacy degree, registration status, and English proficiency.

Australia:
- Degree: Must have a pharmacy degree from an accredited institution or be registered in a recognized country (USA, UK, Canada, or Ireland).
- Assessment: The Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) will verify your qualifications and experience to determine your pathway.
- English: Proof of English language skills (such as IELTS) is required.

UK:
- Degree: Pharmacy degree from a non-European Economic Area (EEA) country.
- Assessment: Must complete the Overseas Pharmacists Assessment Programme (OSPAP) after GPhC eligibility assessment.
- English: IELTS Academic with at least 7.0 in each band.

Eligibility requirements are subject to change. Given your BPharm background and plans for a Master's, contact the APC (Australia) or GPhC (UK) directly for personalized guidance on your next steps.
