hey everyone, does the MPharm course in imu good enough??
Can i know the reputation and the comment from those who take this course. I found out most of the ppl said it is very suffer. Is that true?? Thanks a lot.

wts89..this goes out to you.

1) Yup, lecture hours for first sem have been reduced to few hours a day. Studies in US have shown that too much lecture do no good..I guess IMU took that pretty seriously. Pharm and med are different courses, and run under almost different management. Thus, class conduct for both med and pharm in IMU will not be the same.

2)About PMS and adapting, as you said...well, maybe that's why they have matching exercise to decide which uni you suit well enough to continue after. It very much depends on the individual, study hard (and smart) and prepare well then I believe it's sufficient.

3)Choice of applying to desired school very much depends on your results in IMU. If you don't perform well enough probably you may not be accepted to the desired school. Thus, it is important to prepare yourself enough to achieve desire.

4)Students mostly would go for schools in UK or in Commonwealth countries because the learning and testing systems are more similar to the education system in Malaysia. But then again, one man's meat is another man's poison, so it's different for other people.

5) To some, Dundee is their favourite because you can save one year (and thus cut tuition costs) and graduate earlier. Schools in US and Canada are quite different than in UK or other Commonnwealth countries, thus choice of school is very much dependent of suitability of individuals.

These are just in general. Any further questions, you should ask IMU and seek for counselling. It is important as becoming a doctor is not about just apply and getting interview and gain admission. Explore any other options available. The last thing you would want is to get to a school that doesn't suit you well, right? But IMU is good, I have to admit. Good luck to you and your future undertakings.. All the best.

Depends on where you go to. In UK, it is the university responsibility to ensure that you get into your housemanship as they have to guarantee you to be a fully registered doctor.

btw, the matching system in IMU is a fraud My first choice was Manchester. Guess what, those who got Manchester, most of them did not has as good results as me, and not as active with co-curicular stuff. In fact, I got their first choice (Southampton, which was my 2nd choice actually..) and they got manchester... .their 4th choice..... Hahaa
