pharmacy is a regulated profession, and you need registration to work, and needs a compulsory 1 year pupilship....the problem is, there are too many pharmacists graduating, and thus not enough pupil jobs....hence waiting list...

biotech is a non-regulated course, is not considered a profession, and hence there is no restriction on where and what type of job you can do.....

as i said above....biotech is not a regulated profession, and one can find job in almost anywhere....

pharnacy is a regulated profession, and you are restricted by the need to be registered....

there are pros and cons in both.....

Yes, as long as they are willing to employ you...you don't need professional registration, unlike pharmacy....only one msian pharmacy degree is recognised in Singapore...

So what did you get for your a levels?....

No a*?

There is very little biology in medicine...

a sound foundation in all sciences is an essential asset for medical studies....not just biology, or chemistry...

your 4a at a levels will be enough to get into any ipts med school, since the minimum is only a dismally low bbb....but will not get you into ipta, nor singapore...

feynman is telling you to get basic life skills, which is more important than any knowledge you acquire in uni....as the majority of people do NOT use what they learn in uni, when they work....(exception is of course, professional courses)...

bm version for public and private unis...

then you should not have gone to do a levels....just go form 6 or matrik...and go ipta...just accept any course they throw at you....

with a levels, you can only apply to usm and um....and they take in few outside the mainstream pre-u...the rest of ipta are closed to you...

did you qualify for jpa bursary scholarship?...if not, then the only jpa scholarship is that for the top 10 unis, or critical courses in top 10 (earlier 50) unis...did you apply to ucas for these unis?....you are unlikely to get into these places without at least one a*...

you are referring to jpa scholarship, so you need to get into a times higher education top 10 uni....in the uk that basically means oxbridge and imperial....easy?...lol

ucl and lse used to be in the top 10, not anymore....kings wasn't...

it's not that difficult to get into any course in imperial....but it's very difficult to get into oxbridge...

i don't think you know what you are talking about, it is dangerous to give potentially wrong advises...

that is to enter either foundation or diploma courses, from spm....not into degree.

no more such scholarship...

even when it was offered, they don't always agree to give all applicants...ie, it's not an automatic scholarship...

you want to study a diploma course after your a levels?...

you would have chosen to enter ipta after spm for a diploma course if you had known?...

that question is to the ts...

few non bumi students choose to go to ipta after spm, as their choices are limited....they cannot do asasi...

it is NOT a degree...please don't mislead...

you don't even know what you want to do now, you are thinking about diploma?....

diploma is for people who knows what they want to do, and is usually a 3 years course after spm....you can work after....of you can then go into a top up programme to continue to a degree in the same field, usually another 2-3 years...
