Hi..I'm confused abt taking pharmacy course at Taylors or AIMST.can anybody give some suggestions abt these two universities in terms of their qualities,facilities and etc?thx a lot.

u planned for deg or dip??

degree wor..=)..do u hv any suggestions?

hum unless you plan to go to Cardiff, I think for now AIMST would be a better idea as Taylor's is way too new.

Aimst gt full-accredition for pharm?though aimst pharm exist longer than taylors but jpa send students to taylors for pharm starting from this yr and not aimst.

AIMST campus very nais but very far from town

try IMU!

I'm sorry but there're jpa students who're studying in aimst as well.

Ying Xian 91..I saw ur treads somewhere in this forum..I thought u were deciding which mpharm program to pursue? But why ended up in bpharm ucsi?

thanks for the info.

Lecturers in Taylors should be better as options are more in KL though it could be pretty competitive.

Generally, colleges(those better ones) in KL provide much better programmes compared with those out of town.

The pioneer batches in AIMST could be good but the fact is most of the contract lecturers left at the expiry of the contract and its not easy to get good replacement as its way out of town.

Thx for d opinions.I personally prefer Taylors more since i hv more confidence with d lecturers thr. however AIMST is accreditated by mqa and its far cheaper(but its too far from my hometown as well )..while Taylors B.pharm prog is not yet accreditatated..i was wondering whether d graduates r eligible for registration with Pharmacy Board of Malaysia?

Like a forumer here mentioned, check out IMU. If you want an oversea degree, you can also check out Monash.

I thought JPA sends the students to UCSI for Pharmacy course ? Lol.

Added on August 3, 2011, 4:11 pmIf you want to study locally, I would recommend you to choose AIMST.

If you want to go to oversea, Cardiff is a good choice.

No problems with accreditation. All approved courses will be accredited, the fact is for some of them, the first batch of graduates are not out yet.

If you want to consider more reputable universities, consider Monash, Nottingham and IMU for pharmacy.

The academic entry requirements for Pharmacy is most stringent in Monash (ATAR 92), next is Nottingham.

Nah Monash's entry requirement drop a lot for a levels. BBB can enter now.

Monash is not in my list since its intake is next year while Nottingham is too expensive and im not sure whether i wanna enrol in twinning prog anot..
but im curious abt d quality of pharm prog at AIMST.

Well, last sem it was ATAR 92 for SAM students, coupled with a distinction in English.

I think Monash's Pharmacy is more expensive than Nottingham. Pharmacy programmes in Monash and Nottingham are NOT twinning programme, unlike Taylors. You do not have to go overseas (Australia/UK) to complete the programme if you do not wish to and you'll still graduate with degrees from them.

You don't have to go overseas for Taylor's as well. Only difference if you go to Cardiff, you get a Cardiff MPharm and if you stay in Taylor's, you get a Taylor's BPharm.

Oh Nottingham now has a 4+0 mpharm program?

next year onwards nottingham have 4+0 but is bpharm and not mpharm, not recognised by rpgsb too if not mistaken

Requirements to enter bpharm is?

it will not be recognised in uk, as the requirement is that at least half of the course must be done on shore in uk to be eligible for registration.......that is why the 2 1/2+1 programme is not recognised........

i have decided to go taylors.thx for u guys opinions.=)

good choice. you would have regretted in one way or another if you enrolled into aimst.

There is always the issue of getting good lecturers and profs for universities located out of town and more so in remote areas. This is being made more acute with universities in the Klang Valley area expanding their choice of courses and making the recruitment of teaching staff very competitive.

hey...so have u found a room alrd?im gt extra room here ...juz contact me if u nid it...im too taking pharmacy course in taylor...hope to find a housemate tat hv same course wth me:)

But other than being new, what is it that taylors is lacking? Why aimst is the preferred choice?

facilities...lecturers...reputation..lack of materials(library books)... and many more...

u mean taylor's or aimst? @.@

Can forget bout aimst as this intake is full, and class starting tomorrow..

Added on August 15, 2011, 12:03 amHahahahaha..i hv whole bunch of U41 friends, and their pay is above 3.5k per mth..not sure where u got this news from.

taylors, obviously.

then you should ask them about the new salary scheme for those who hasn't registered as U41.

your friends' salary scheme will remain unchanged.

there is no change in the scale of government pharmacists........

Obviously IMU is the best.

hi anyone can advice if aimst pharma degree recognized overseas?

I am going to AIMST University to take foundation in Science then pharmacy degree programme . I knew that AIMST university is not well-known pharmacy university like University of Nottingham or Taylor University . Will this affect my job in future ?

I don't think so. So as long the program is recognized by MQA and the Malaysian Pharmacy Board, you have no problems in getting a job.. However the sheer amount of pharmacist in the market might affect your prospect of getting one in the future
