Thinking about working as a pharmacist in Ireland? You’re not alone! Every year, pharmacy graduates from countries like India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and the UAE ask the same question:
How Do I Get a Pharmacist Job in Ireland?
If you’ve finished your BPharm, MPharm, or PharmD and dream of starting your career in Ireland, here’s a simple guide to help you take the proper steps.

Each role comes with its own responsibilities, so think about what best fits your interests and experience.
