Yes it's me again. I want to apply for scholarship from Embassy of Japan. But I've never heard of the program and none of my senior ever received it. I try to search for Japan Universities for Pharmacy certified by Malaysia and I can't find any. It's a bit unusual to to do Pharmacy in Japan isn't it? I mean, never heard of it and people usually do pharmacy in UK as far as I know. Any opinion?

p/s: the scholarship from the embassy offer from Law course to engineering to pharmacy. I mean they offer for so many courses and there's no specific elaboration of the courses so I had to ask here for opinions.

The tuition fee has been increased long time ago.
I've collected the tuition fees from some universities.
However, I don't think the tuition fee for Liverpool John Moores Uni is 9000 pounds but I can't find the international tuition fee. 

all the tuition fee are in pounds, per annum, the amount that international students need to pay.
Perhaps zstan can edit it @first post ?

Oh really? Wow that's going to be hard I guess. And if I were to be back to Malaysia eventhough I worked there, it will be hard right... Thank you so much for the information!

Unfortunately for msian based Pharmacists, doctors are allowed to dispense medicines.................

Meaning less scope or opportunities for pharmacists since doctors are allowed to dispense.

Isnt it Obvious that when one scope has been assumed by some other profession, your opportunities is lessen
by it?   

YOU WROTE:

A doctor will diagnose(a disease) and prescribe medicine for patients. A pharmacist dispenses medicine to patients.

ermm.guys.i need some help here.i'm kind of interested in taking pharmacy.just a few questions to ask.hope you guys can answer  oh and btw i'm 2012 SPM leaver
1. any idea of scholarships that i can apply?
2. if possible i want to attend foundation before pursuing the bachelor. is there any oversea university that offer pharmacy course to malaysians students? cause nowadays it's hard to find scholarship that send students with pharmacy course 
thanks in advance

it is true a bpharm brings a lot of opportunities other than the conventional dispensing role eg. working for a pharmaceutical company, involve in creating government health policies, consultant pharmacist, but realistically, most graduates end up being in a hospital or community pharmacy. Thus, i dont see the point of arguing otherwise.

@prophetjul
are you thinking about doing a bpharm?

Waaaa...

I really hope I can further my studies in Pharmacy or Pharmacology in Kyoto Univ.

For now what should I do  ?

So, Japan is the right place to study pharmacology? How and why so? I always thought that western countries are better in medical science.

Requesting for more details...



what did you mean by "most probably no foundation courses are usually not recognised by overseas"? Speaking about local foundation college, as in KPM Matriculation, the programmes are recognized by a number of UK's universities (for instance, Bristol and Reading). You could apply via UCAS. For university-based foundation (UiTM Puncak Alam, Tamhidi USIM, Asasi UIA), I don't know. Sorry.

Planning for oversea?
= For a safe route, take A-level. To add the sense of being an extremist? Enter IB.

p/s: correct me if I'm wrong. I'm trying to be excellent with everyone

Hi

I would like to know, will I be able to pursue a degree in pharmacy if I didn't take Biology for SPM and I'm also planning on taking matriculation or Asasi Sains Fizikal for the pre-u.

Just to be clear, I was one those kids who didn't really know what they're doing when applying for their SPM subjects :T

But now I know.... So help me

Oh, I see. But is it possible if I take Asasi Sains Fizikal and after finishing that, I change to a degree in pharmacy? 

Oh, I can apply for asasi sains fizikal because it doesn't have biology in it. Only physics and chemistry.

I really want to be a pharmacist 

You should just do form 6/a levels/sam and take biology.. at least that's what I'm planning to do.

Because I've read from one of the post that there's someone who managed to take biology in sam without taking biology as a subject in SPM.

In the Malaysian hospital setting, do pharmacists have the opportunity to 'specialise' eg. become cardiology pharmacists/infectious diseases pharmacists/ICU pharmacists/oncology pharmacists etc. ?

I'm gonna assume that pharmacists do patrol the wards and check drug charts in Malaysia... do pharmacists stay and 'specialise' in a certain ward on request (perhaps after they've done their rotations in every ward), meaning specialising without exams but through experience?

Is it a MUST for me to take Biology for my pre-u? And can I apply to IMU or Monash using forecast results? From what I checked their intake dates are Jan(MPharm) and Feb (BPharm) respectively.

Got shortlisted for MPharm interview. Any ideas of how I should prepare?

The interview is smack in the middle of my finals. Not the best of timings but since my syllabus covers organic nitrogen compounds, arenes, some drugs, and since I'm a bio student I "should" know quite abit about amino acids and protein synthesis as well.

Anything I should read up on other than academic stuff?

Hi guys, I'll be going to stpm next month. Will pharmacist be real saturated by the year of 2020? From what I counted ( duration of stpm, Bpharm course, and gov service), I think I’ll be graduating around that year. So any ideas? Is there a possibility that I will be jobless upon graduating?

Hello people!
BPharm studet from IMU here. 

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 ?

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.
http://www.nottingham.edu.my/Study/Undergr...in-Science.aspx

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

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

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.

i would like to know and understand more about what do pharmacies do in hospital.
Are they sittin' in the counter and dispensing those drugs prescribed by doctor?
and for those pharmacies who didn't need to do ward round and work at those common diseases ( eg cough,flu,fever) department, wouldn't they feel bored for their job as they just dispense more or less same drugs everyday ?
