14th July. Monday. Yesterday morning.

Uh well, its pass midnight now lol.


Got ppl or not, it doesnt matter. How can you stop a freaking speeding car?
Even if we can identify the car plate number, chances are that is a fake number or a stolen vehicle.

After reading so many posts in this thread, I think the issue within the society is the existence of stigmas whereby which course is better or otherwise. As a biomedical science student, I'm very aware that with this degree alone I can't really go far in the medical field without taking up Masters or PhD. I still take up this course due to my interest and I always think that which degrees you graduate with does not guarantee you sucess/failure in career prospects. Some may say that biomedical students would end up as a salesman or such (deemed to be not a "high class" job) but please, in life everyone starts from the bottom before working their way up. Do you think doctors are automatically guaranteed a comfortable salary right after graduating and housemanship? Sure, they may earn alot of money by opening up clinics or becoming a specialist but I think everyone here should know that to be able to do so, most are already in their early 30s and late 20s if they do not specialise of course.
Biomedical science graduates are not only confined to labs and hospitals but there's an option where you can work in the industrial field. In the end, it's all about your own choice. There's no such thing as rigidity in career prospects.

Commenting about the statement regarding on why some would pay so much for courses like medical biotech or biomedical science , again, it's all about one's choice. I'm sure many took up the courses after a long consideration and deliberation with family members. If you think IMU courses fees are exorbitant, look at Monash University and their course fees structures.

In IMU, Biomedical science degree costs about RM 78K
In Monash University, it's about 108K.

So which one is more exorbitant?

Anyway, let's just put it this way, most, or should I say ALL private unis want your money. Which company doesn't want any profit? Unless you're a philantrophist, when you have your own company, do you not want any profit making?

Oh nice to meet the rest of IMU students here

Wonderfully put, eclecticube. I think you're going to go far in life Welcome to IMU! Make us proud, eh

Haha! I sure will try my best to enjoy in IMU

you could improve your english first so we can understand?.......in any case, imu would want you to have ielts 7.0.........

LOL Don't be so mean... I've got friends in IMU who has english like that too! Hahaha... I think for MUET, you need at least a band 4

Added on July 21, 2008, 7:18 pmI was in the same predicament as you three years ago. Couldn't get Pharmacy in IPTA. The maximum loan at my time, was RM80,000. But it may have increased now, especially since the Pharmacy course fees have increased since I enrolled in 2006.

I'm sure you can call IMU and ask them.

Also, there is one scholarship provided for every Pharmacy intake, so you can try for that too.

Don't be so upset. Just keep trying. There are other uni's you can consider too! The Cyberjaya one, maybe? That's much newer than IMU, but it's worth a try. Not too sure about the course fees though..

Added on July 21, 2008, 7:29 pmFirst off, the BPharm is done locally. And the MPharm, is done overseas (going to Strathclyde). The Mpharm is divided into 2+2 and the 2.5+1 year or something (not too sure haha). The 2+2 is relatively new, probably only one intake so far. I heard about the working overseas after graduation ofr 2+2 , but I can't really guarantee it (don't know enough, so better not say later say wrong thing haha)

The course structure for BPharm and MPharm are different. The MPharm follows the Strathclyde structure, where the initial one or two years in Malaysia is considered quite easy, since you will have very few classes, and the workload is not tough. Some of my friends have only one or two hours of class per day! But once you go to Strathclyde, your work load will increase drastically and you will then have to work really hard.

As for BPharm, our initial years are hard. We have a lot of classes, everyday, and usually starts at 9am till 5pm. But the final year (sem 7 and 8) are basically research semesters, not so much going to classes anymore. I wouldn't say BPharm is hard, since i'm doing it and I find it quite alright. I still have time to have fun etc while maintaining my grades (to a certain extent haha)

I think it really depends on what you can afford. LOL. I couldn't afford the overseas one, so I did BPharm. So far things are okay. Already in semester 5 haha.

So yeah, I hope all this helps

for the record, in order to get registered with the british pharmacy board, you need to spend 2 full years in the uk, so the original 2 1/2+1 programme is NOT recognised for registration in uk......hence they re-designed another programme 2+2 which will then allow graduates to register and work in uk.....

p/s and i seriously cannot understand what glycogen is trying to say.........

Lol.. okay, okay.. on second reading, I guess I had a bit of a hard time understanding too. Hahaha. He/She must not know the education system very well, if he thinks he can get in straight after SPM...

OO pampered them too much.

Glycogen is a polymer of glucose, if that is what you're asking...
