Hi, I am a pharmacist (now training to be a Dr). You need a degree in Pharmacy (I went to Bradford uni, it's great!). It used to be a BSc Pharm degree but now I believe it is an MPharm. It takes four years of university study and then one year of professional training which can be undertaken in a community, hospital or industrial setting. It is hard work but worth it in the end; just be sure you really want to do it as it is a long time to study something you aren't sure about. Good luck and I hope this helps!

AnswerSince 2001, new graduates have been required to be Doctors before they can sit for pharmacist licensure. The PharmD, or Doctor of Pharmacy degree has been adopted by all colleges of pharmacy in the United States.

You need a Pharm D, which is a Doctorates in Pharmacy. You can go for a minimum of 2 years of pre-pharmacy and if you get in to Pharmacy school then you have to go for 4 years of pharmacy school.
