Can i take a PhD from Germany after taking a M.Sc in drug delivery (taught) from the UK. Can someone please tell me if that is available. Is the M.Sc taught from the UK equivalent to a masters from Germany??

If you tell me what kind of masters you have in the UK and what the differences are, then I could probably answer the question or compare it to our German one

Thanks a lot for your answer.
The M.Sc (taught) from the UK is a one year M.Sc. program with 180 credits divided as follows,
- 120 credits: taught courses
- 60 credits: Research project

It is probably not equivalent, as a Master in Germany is a 2-year program. However, that does not mean that a potential supervisor is not willing to take you.

Maybe you'll have a hard time, as the average German student will probably have a lot more practical research experience (master thesis at least 6 months, often longer + other internships before that), which is usually highly valued by group leaders.

I would just give it a try. You have nothing to lose but time ;) Just search for PhD ads in your field or directly contact interesting groups. I would not be surprised if you find a position :)
