I guess it depends on a few things, including where you intend to practise. I kinda doubt you'll be jobless but it will definitely be more competitive then.

if you are good you will always have a job no matter how saturated the market is. not that i am implying the market will be saturated though.

Hello people!
BPharm studet from IMU here.

Welcome to the family fellow legal drug dealer.

Hi. I'm interested in pursuing pharmacy study.
Soon i will be taking CAL in July.

Is it very difficult to get an overseas scholarship for degree of pharmacy ?

welcome! which year are you in?

yes. it's almost non-existent.

@zstan I forgot what year you were in already - are you in your final year? If so, what is your plan for the next 5 years of your career, if you don't mind me asking?

I think nottingham offers foundation in science that requires a minimum of 5 Bs in academic subjects, including mathematics and ONE science subject, excluding religious studies, moral studies and languages. So do you think we who doesn't have 3 sciences in SPM can take this ? Does science, only science count as science? lol @ my question.

I get your feeling.. I really want to be a pharmacist too and have problem with it T_T us
maybe you can try check out nottingham university? so far only that university offers foundation in science that requires a minimum of 5 Bs in academic subjects, including mathematics and ONE science subject. I don't want to take form6 =w=;

no your science subject in SPM doesn't count..

if you read the T&C from the board of pharmacy..it is stated that if you do a foundation in science, you MUST have all 3 sciences and score at least B for SPM.

so yeah.. you can enter the foundation course.. but you can't enter the pharmacy degree..

so... it means, can enter foundation course but then can't further study in pharmacy degree..
anyway, thanks for your help!

yeah.. your only option is to do A-levels or STPM and work hard. really hard. all the best.

Can I know more about A-levels? is it like SPM or maybe like STPM? and is it require 3 sciences too?

A levels is almost like stpm but it's slightly easier, at least what my bio lecturer had said to me because he's teaching both a level and stpm. It requires at least 3 science subject for science stream.

So A-levels also requires 3 science subjects too for science stream?
Then the only answer for me to enter pharmacy is STPM?

Sorry what I meant is you have to take 3 science subjects in A level. I think you can enter A level science though.

actually to be honest your chances of do pharmacy is really really slim now.. maybe you can try to think of other careers? unless you can find a uni which accepts you to do A-levels or STPM without 3 sciences in SPM...

Oh phew


I thought all can accept me to do A-levels in their uni even I don't have 3 sciences in SPM ? because I checked taylor and they say SPM, O Levels or equivalent - 5 credits including English and Mathematics / Science. Subject pre-requisites apply. Am I wrong?? Sorry many questions.

if you do not have the necessary SPM background.. many colleges may be reluctant to take you in.. in fear that you may screw up and bring down their reputation. without SPM pure science you will really struggle in A-levels science stream..

I see, I need change then.. thanks for helping me
