How to become a Pharmacist in U.K (Non-European international student)

OVERSEAS PHARMACISTS  ASSESSMENT PROGRAMME  INFORMATION and APPLICATION  PACK

Overseas qualified pharmacists should use this information pack to make their application. To be eligible to apply you must have completed a pharmacy course that is comparable to those in the UK and must be registered or eligible to register as a pharmacist in your country of qualification.

When we receive your application, under normal circumstances it will be processed within 5 working days of receipt in the department. Once processing has started you will be advised by email ( or by post if no email address is available for you) of any documents that are not acceptable and which documents are still outstanding.

Please note that document status can change during the process on receipt of new documents. Once the application is considered complete, it will receive a final check in preparation for the final consideration and decision.

Applications will usually be considered in the last week of every month and applications to be considered would need to be complete in the second week of that month to allow for the final check and preparation for consideration. Your application will not be considered until ALL of the documents are in our hands and in Order as required by the GPhC.

The OSPAP starts in September / October each year. Please send in your application as early as possible to allow time for errors or omissions to be corrected. We may have to contact your university for further information and this can take a long time. Some providers places are filled very early in the year and you should make your application as soon as you are ready to have the best chance of obtaining a place with your first choice provider.

The decision that you are eligible to apply for the OSPAP usually allows you 2 academic years from the date of decision  to start the programme. (eg if considered before September 2011 the dates for you  to start would be September 2011 or September 2012).

There are a number of stages in the application procedure which are contained in this pack. You should carefully read the WHOLE pack before starting the application process.
