Australia

In 2004, the University of Newcastle introduced a two-year postgraduate MPharm coursework program as an alternative pathway for graduates with a bachelor's degree in any science or medical science that meets the required prerequisites to qualify for registration as pharmacists. The MPharm degree serves as an entry-level qualification rather than an advanced degree for practicing pharmacists. Following the launch of the MPharm program at the University of Newcastle, other universities across Australia also began offering similar coursework programs. Currently, both the BPharm and MPharm degrees are accepted for registration as practicing pharmacists. Refer to the list of pharmacy schools in Australia for institutions offering the MPharm degree.

awarded after four years of academic study in pharmacy. This degree replaced the BSc (Pharmacy) or BPharm degree when the undergraduate pharmacy course was extended from three to four years in 1997. This extension was partly due to EU harmonization of pharmacy training and partly to broaden the scope of the undergraduate degree. The MPharm is the sole qualification in the UK leading to professional registration as a pharmacist. MPharm programs are accredited by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) in England, Scotland, and Wales, and by the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland (PSNI) in Northern Ireland. Aspiring pharmacists in the UK qualify by first completing this degree, then undertaking a year of foundation pharmacist training. Upon successful completion of this training and after passing the registration assessment, they become registered pharmacists. Until September 2010, in

, registration with the GPhC automatically made pharmacists members of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, allowing them to use the postnominal letters ''MRPharmS'' (Member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain). However, in September 2010, the RPS separated its regulatory role, and the new regulatory body, the GPhC, no longer grants post-nominals to its registrants. MRPharmS is still awarded by the RPS to its members, but it is no longer directly linked to current registration as a pharmacist. In Northern Ireland, regulation remains under the PSNI, so registration as a pharmacist and membership of the PSNI still occur simultaneously, allowing the use of the post-nominals ''MPSNI'' (Member of the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland).
