Can i do bachelors in pharmacy then do a masters?

I want to become a qualified pharmacist in the UK and am applying this year, however due to circumstances I need to do a bachelors in pharmacy first. Would it still be possible to the single year of Msc in pharmacy and still be equivalent to an MPharm degree and become qualified?
Or do I just have to do a straight up MPharm degree???

There isnt a 'Bachelors' in Pharmacy - the only degree is an undergraduate 4-year degree called MPharm.

If you have a pharmacy degree from another country (such as a bachelors), you will need to complete the Overseas Pharmacists Assessment Programme (OSPAP). The masters in pharmacy is integrated into the MPharm degree and not available as an MSc
