Background : I'm an A-level student, having 4As in maths/physics/chem/bio..limited financial aids....planning to join a Bpharm course.


Several options I have considered : UCSI, USM ( Don't know whether I could get the offer or not ) , IMU, Nottingham..These are the few that I know..


UCSI..from what I read is more unstable/ new??
Nottingham / 2+2 of IMU , is way overbudget..

So, I think I wil go for USM/ IMU 4 years local BPharm..

Does anyone know more details about IMU 4 years local Bpharm? Any seniors/ alumni? Need some realistic self experience/ advices.

Is my choice correct if I'm planning to work in Malaysia as a pharmacist after degree/ OR continue my master studies...but at the meantime secure a chance to work overseas


Thanks in advance ! P/s : My english is poor biggrin.gif

UCSI would be the cheapest of the lost.

If your main idea is to work overseas then your only option would be to study an oversea pharmacy degree right from the 1st year.

and you should only think about masters once you can graduate from a pharmacy school.

From what I know the fees of UCSI is 110k, IMU is around 177k..I mean is it worth for me to save the 60k for the loss of better quality of course? Or the difference in quality of this 2 Unis is just not worth the 60k...If IMU is really alot greater than UCSI, then i wil spend more 60k...If not, I wil go for UCSI, saving up the 60k, which worth a car...I'm bad in expressing, hope u get what I mean haha rclxms.gif


And why is it necessary for me to continue for master? In Malaysia, I thought most of the people wil go to the 1 yr government after degree? Am I right? rclxub.gif

IMU is so expensive now? almost close to the fees of Monash.  unsure.gif  well IMU's reputation is definitely much better than UCSI..

erm i didnt mention that it's necessary for you to continue masters.

Yaa..every year is increasing ~.~


Opps sorry..then do you know that for pharmacy, the salary of master and degree holders in Malaysia differs alot? I don't know whether I should continue study or start working and gain experience...Will master holders stand a higher chance in the rat race? Or those employers just want to look for degree holder with lower pays ~~ wink.gif

masters doesn't offer you any financial advantage. i think you should just worry about successfully graduating from a pharmacy degree first before thinking about other things  smile.gif

depends what kind of masters as well. no guarantee. as long as you are good people will hire you dont worry
