QUOTE(azarimy @ Dec 14 2006, 08:40 PM) i'll try to put the career choice in simpler diagram, post SPM. i'll create a better diagram later. Hmm...i got some questionsoptions: i. SPM > STPM/A-LEVELS/SAM/MUFY/MATRICS/FOUNDATION (basically all pre-university qualifications) > DEGREE ii. SPM > DIPLOMA > DEGREE iii. SPM > SIJIL POLITEKNIK/VOKASIONAL > DEGREE iv. SPM > SIJIL > DIPLOMA > DEGREE these are some of the most common routes that students take post-SPM. do note that for choices iii and iv, we're talking about quite a stretch of time, might span between 5-8 years post SPM.  The main difference between 1 and 2(diploma and foundation) ? Normally, foundation would take 1 year or 2 years ? The how about diploma, 2 years ? |

With a diploma in pharmacy, you cannot be a pharmacist in Malaysia and many other countries. You can't even open your own pharmacy. The only place I know that a diploma in pharmacy has worth is in India. In Malaysia you will probably an assistant only. |

hi there!!
I wish you guys could help me with this..  I got a scholarship to proceed my study in medicine at oversea. This includes a-level till degree. I'll be doing the a-level locally, but I'm not really clear about this programme. 1) If I'm not mistaken, we have to study 3/4 subjects during a-lvl. I'm taking medic, so what are the compulsary subjects I've to take? 2) What's the difference between a-lvl and IB?? |

QUOTE(mysticlife-fh @ May 24 2007, 12:58 AM) hi there!! By using wikipedia you'll get a clear picture on what a-Levels and IB are. Normally 3 science subjects such as Biology, Chemistry and an extra one like physics is enough to get into a medical school. But that would very much depend on what school you are applying to and in which country. Some require 4 subjects. Some require maths. So the best thing to do is to contact the school you wish to go to and find out what subject are required.I wish you guys could help me with this..
