Yes, a master's degree is mandatory to work as a pharmacist in the UK. You must complete a General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC)-accredited Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) program, followed by a one-year pre-registration training period and passing the GPhC registration assessment. This pathway is required to become a registered pharmacist in the UK. If you need guidance on suitable programs or further steps, your counsellor can support you.
