Thanks alot for your clarification, i will go on Monday, finger crossed 

Sorry for the late reply, so my story continues here.

I went to the pharmacy board and asked. The officer told me that,

1) the BM requirement is entry requirement for degree programme, it should have serve as a filter to filter off those who are not qualified at the first place.

But my uni let me through, but under one condition, I need to take up another BM course in order to graduate. In which my case, they didnt let me know any detail about this until i was about to graduate, delaying my graduation.

2) The registration process only require personnel with DEGREE from accredited institution and IC for identity confirmation.

Besides that, i also called up the SPA department and confirmed the minimum BM requirement for U41 Pegawai Farmasi position. It is confirmed that the minimum is LULUS only as stated in the website.

In conclusion, i think my case is basically solved unless my university want to screw me with some absurd reason again. If not, i will register as soon as my BM result come out. 

Hi peeps.
Does anyone know the study path after completing BPharm? I plan to further my studies upon completing BPharm in overseas. I read in internet in which some says it could be  MBA or MPhil etc. Need some advices from you all

I'm considering it How do you find the Monash course yourself? Did you transfer to Parkville too or did you opt for doing it fully here?
Yeah, I'll take Monash, IMU and Notts into consideration, but since I haven't even taken the exam yet , I'll confirm my choice later on when I get the results and I can finalise the shortlisting after I get some offers . It seems that my suspicions about Taylors Pharm were correct , my condolences and all the best for your 2+2. Thank you for sharing your experiences and that metaphor haha 

Hmm I'm assuming your friends in Notts haven't gone to UK yet, but I wonder if the programme primes you enough that you'll be well-adjusted in the UK in the later years(they'll give you the same quality of teaching, hold you to the same expectations as UK Notts students or train you so that you learn like UK Notts students.....taking into consideration Malaysian cultural/social/economic contexts of course) although from what you've said of your Notts friends I guess they're not as stringent with that part of quality control . The online lectures sound pretty sweet though.

Hi all,

I was wondering why is the master of pharmacy (eg. graduate entry) offered in Australia such as in University of Sydney and Curtin University currently not recognised by the Pharmacy Board of Malaysia? It allows one to register as a pharmacist in Australia but not here    Any chances that it'll be recognised in a few years?

can i know when to register for aimst bpharm??thnx in advance : )

Im a registered pharmacist from Northern Ireland with pharmaceutical society of northern ireland ( PSNI ). How / where do i check that i can register with malaysian pharmaceutical society (MPS) ?

@zstan, can I ask you a few things about the pharmacy course?

Is there lots of lab work involved when studying pharmacy? I'm currently in Form 6 and I find that I did not enjoy doing the experiments we had to do for Chemistry and Biology. I kind of find repeating the same thing over and over boring and tedious. Also what kind of content do you guys have to learn? Do you guys have to memorise various drugs' name that are ridiculously long? Is the syllabus very hard? As in, does one need to do revision and study everyday for four years OR can one still slack off, relax and have a study-life balance?

Sorry for the long-ass question, I currently have no direction in life and don't know what kind of job I want to do in the future for the rest of my life. Currently considering pharmacy as a viable option among other choices.

Thanks for your response. I know I should choose my career based on my own interests but it's kinda hard to build a career out of my interest, which is travelling (Too short to be a flight attendant, dammit).

I'm really unsure of whether I want to pursue pharmacy as a life-long career. I might lack the enthusiasm for it but I actually don't mind saving people's lifes/taking care of their health as I would like to do my part of contributing to the society.

I probably will have no problem with the memorisation parts either since I've been a Straight A's student all my life so I know that one can learn anything as long as he is willing to put in the time and effort into it. It's just that I'm tired of studying after working so hard for all these years.

I don't really know what I want do in the future. I am probably a lazy piece of shit for just wanting an easy life and earning enough money to support my dreams of travelling around the world. Looking back, I should have just accepted the IPG offer, go through a relaxing five years training, and become a teacher, though it would probably end of my dreams of travelling, since teachers earn quite low wages in Malaysia (Except for the years when a teacher already close to retirement, but at that age, does one have the energy to travel anymore?).

Sorry for the rant, it's been bothering me so long that I felt a overwhelming urge to get it off my chest. I'll probably just stop worrying about my ambitions (or the lack of it) and put it aside for the meantime, and focus more on finishing my pre-U first.

I will complete my a level in this coming November .
UCSI 's fee seem more affordable to me .
Any comment to this university ? About the environment , facilities and lecturers because I could find any review about this school d pharmacy .

Thank you in advance ^^

Hi,

I was wondering if there are any of you out there who did their pre-registration in the UK, registered as a UK pharmacist and then returned to Malaysia?

Can you tell me what your experience was like? I know that we still need to undergo the compulsory service to register in Malaysia. How did you go about applying for that? Did you have to wait for a long time? Do we also have to take the forensics exam?

Also in regards to the compulsory service: do you just randomly get thrown wherever they want? Or do they take into account your preferences?

As a UK student planning to register here first, I would really appreciate someone explaining this to me as the Malaysian pharmacy websites are all terribly lacking.

I'm planning to pursue pharm in monash malaysia but then why the pharm course of monash is not listed in the pharmacy board of malaysia and whats the consequence of it ? THank you

Why monash is not listed in the board and the last edited time was june in year 2014.

Greetings

I'm a UiTM student in my second year of BPharm, will graduate in 2017.

Just want to ask, my lecturers said that the pharmacy jobs now are quite tough, is it true?

And I'm very interested in working in pharma companies, any tips for me?

I mean hard to get job

Anyone with experience in hospital pharmacy? My modules have been mainly about community pharmacy (UK based) so I don't exactly know what happens in the hospital as a pharmacist, especially in Malaysia.

I'm hearing that fresh grads (after qualification with the pharmacy board in Malaysia) who work in community pharmacies over here are getting like 7-8k a month but it's like 2k-3k in a hospital pharmacy. Plus, many working community pharmacists warned my classmates that if they like science and stuff, they should avoid community pharmacy in Malaysia because you hardly get to use the skills you've learned in uni over here. Comunity doesn't look appealing to me apart from the pay (if it's true) at this moment.

Wondering what it's like to be a hospital pharmacist and how the salary is like, anyone care to shed some light? Also, is a post grad degree in clinical pharmacy recommended if I plan to go down the hospital pharmacy path?

wow thanks that was informative!
Wah, RM250 a year is quite a minimal increment :/

Hi hi.
I'm interest on the BPharm which if I really go for the course i would prefer to work in phamaceutical industry.
May I know is getting a job for pharmacist becomes did difficult as there is too many graduates.
Is it possible to work in UK if pursue the BPHARM in monash malaysia and transfer to monash aus in the third year? Or it's better to study the BPHARM in IMU and credit transfer to uk 's uni ?
Sorry for so many questions

Hm, I got the figures from a few people who personally knows a working community pharmacist and a few others who  have interned at popular chain pharmacies over here. Multiple sources from different places. AFAIK, I always thought it was 3k starting, but those sources might be outdated since they were based off websites like doctorjob
Therefore, if the pay increment is only 250 a year for a clinical pharmacist, then it'll take like 10 years to reach the pay of a fresh grad community pharmacist (if the figures that I got is true).
I'll be interning soon, so maybe I'll be able to double check with another community pharmacist.

Mm I see. I have a decision to make because I will (90%) have a choice to work in Aussie after I graduate, but I really don't mind taking a pay cut to come home because I love it here. However, I need to look at how big the cut is before I make up my mind.
Thanks for the info though.
Idk, my friend worked at her aunt's newly opened pharmacy and she was telling me how her aunt was finding it hard to find a pharmacist because fresh grads were asking for 6-7k ish since they said Watsons/Caring probably paid that much. They could be lying though.

zstan Hi! I just wanna ask, have you graduated from Monash Pharmacy course yet? From the forums I know that you've studied there but I'm not sure if you've finished the course. If you have, may I ask is it possible to use that degree to apply as a Pharmacist in Singapore? Its a separate degree from if we study at the campus in Australia right? And may I ask if you're working anywhere now? Thank you!

Ohhhh I see. Did you do a credit transfer to the campus in Parkville? If that's the case, will we still be receiving the same cert as with 4 years in Malaysia?
