Pharmacy: FAQs
Do I need a licence to work as a pharmacist?
Yes — pharmacy is regulated, and practising requires local registration with its own exams/requirements. Confirm the pathway in the country where you intend to work.
Can I work in industry instead of a pharmacy?
Yes — many pharmacy graduates work in the pharmaceutical industry, regulatory affairs or research, which may not require the same clinical licensing as dispensing.
