I need some expert advices regarding this Pharmacy profession.

1. I'm reading biotechnology, and I'm expecting myself to be specialized in the field of pharmacology (drugs design and mechanics). Also, I'm a rising Sophomore in one of the US private universities soon (intake Fall 2014, hopefully)

2. I've read somewhere on the net about Biotechnology with specialization in Pharmacology, and it is, likely, the same thing as Degree in Pharmacist (well, is it?)

3. If that so, can I apply for cert as a Pharmacist after I graduated?

TL;DR

I'm reading biotech, expecting to specialize in pharmacology. So, can I apply for cert as the Pharmacist do?

Thanks in advance!

well, thanks for your reply there bro Farmer_C

anyhow, I'm still okay with my choices on reading the Biotechnology - Pharmacology. I'll share things about Pharmacology later on if I managed to get some info 'bout it

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

oh I see. it is good to know about that. based on what I've looked at Times 500 Universities Ranking, universities at the west coast US ranked the top for Life Science(California Institute of Tecnology, Stanford, UC). but, again, it is good to know that one of the Asian countries tops the list.

fyi, I'm undergoing my foundation year at INTEC and (hopefully) I'm a rising sophomore at the States in 2014 in biotechnology, specializing in pharmacology soon. pray for me, and I think I might contact you if I need certain specific information.

note: is Pharmacy considered as a branch of Life Science? I looked at Wikipedia, and there's no Pharmacy in the list. Pharmacology is.



yeah, nonetheless I feel the same too. secure a place in A-level first, ace the IELTS and get the good grades do sound better if someone is looking to study pharmacy at UK.
