Hmm...i got some questions
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 ?
*
Normally foundation(or some public U like UM got asasi) takes 1 year. Diploma takes 2-3 years depending on the course and U. With a diploma, 1 you can find a job, 2. You can go straight to the secon or final year of a degree course.

Is it advisable to do diploma for pharmacy then one will have to study for the same period of time for its degree?If compared to one who just take his pre-u then continue with degree?Will the degree be shorter if one takes the same course for its diploma?

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..  sad.gif

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??
*
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.
