short answer: go um....

the only reason to choose uk in this case, is if one intends to stay on and work....and even then, it is difficult to get jobs, and eu rules makes getting a tier 2 visa very difficult....

don't use up your parent's retirement fund....

there is no 'local' mpharm programme in notts msia....everybody transfers to notts uk for the last 2 years.....and you will need to pay full international students fees for the 2 years in uk....

the second is right....the usm pharmacy degree is recognised in singapore, and the ONLY msian/branch campus in msia qualification to be recognised....

the first is wrong....the usm pharmacy degree is not recognised anywhere else in the world other than msia and spore...

no professional qualification is 'recognised globally'.....because every country has their own system of registration of the professions.....therefore, the ability to register, and hence to work in any country depends on the policy of the registering authority...and hence, every country will be different....eg, non of uk's medical degrees are recognised in the usa....

the um degree is only recognised in msia, and no other country....

however, there will usually be possibility for someone with an unrecognised qualification to sit for a qualifying exam and if successful, to gain registration....

get that idea that you can get a qualification and walk into any country and work, off your head.....

if you are referring to further studies, that is a completely different thing from registration to carry out a professional practice...you can enrol into a uni anywhere for studies, as long as they will accept and you can pay the fees....AND it is a NON-PRACTISING course.....ie, you are NOT functioning as a pharmacist during the course....(which means it excludes clinical pharmacy courses, google what that means)

do note that completing a postgraduate study say in uk, does NOT allow you to then work in uk, as the registration is based on the BASIC primary qualification, NOT the postgraduate.....

which is why i caution the advice given by cotton is premature, and potentially bad.....

that is not what i said....go read it again.....

yes.....but why?....

do you really want to study 'overseas' that much?.....

academic post graduate studies will not matter much in your subsequent work as a pharmacist...

the usm pharmacy is NOT recognised, irrespective of the class of honour...the australian gov does NOT offer non-residents jobs....

unless you know the precise situation, it is best not to give comments like that, as it gives a wrong impression to students in the forum.....

that is generally true, unless you intend to work professionally overseas.....then the right basic degree is crucial.....
