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

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