Hello to everyone here, I am facing some problem on applying uni. I am a A level student, taking 3 subjects only, chem, phy and maths. I made up my mind to study pharmacy last year and I checked the requirements of most of universities and here too. There was NO biology required. However, when I was about to register for Monash today, they told me that the pharmacy board has made biology a must for new students. Anything I could do?

Yes yes, I got a B+ for it. The thing now is, the new set of requirements made it a must during our A levels and Monash refuse to let me register because of it. I am so lost right now. I planned to start my course in next year Feb, but now it becomes a problem to me.

Besides, I saw Monash havent get accreditation yet. So does it means that even I graduated from Monash Sunway, I cant register as a pharmacist in Malaysia?

I know they changed the requirement lately, but it wasnt changed when I register for A levels. I take that as my guideline and now they changed it. Isnt it unfair to people like me? I studied one and half year A levels going through everything and now it becomes useless to me. What's the point of me studying A levels then? I am so frustrated right now. I called up to the pharmacy board today and got scolded because they said they had given notice to all school and university about this issue in year 2011. Yet it seems that many schools didnt give any attention to this piece of notice nor say anything about it. And me, ending up into a situation like this.

If we cant get to register with the pharmacy board, can we still be a pharmacist in hospital/retail shop? What's the difference between registered and non-registered pharmacy?

Thanks for the reply. If Monash is not accredited, and their students is not registered, how does their students work in M'sia?
