Many pharmacy school in Malaysia do twinning program with UK universities. And there is no BPharm degree in UK anymore, that is why, those twinning program have to accredited at Master level in order to twin with the UK universities.

BPharm is more than enough if you are likely to work in Malaysia, singapore or aus.

But why not go for MPharm if you have that option. You will great experiences in project and learning at Master level, in addition what you get in the end, is a Master degree.

just to point out... at the end of the MPharm programme you do not obtain a master degree, what you get is only a undergraduate bachelor's degree. The name of the program itself is misleading. basically it is named Master Of Pharmacy (MPharm) because of the extensive details in the studies.

-edit - if you decided to go for MPharm, you can later on proceed to go for the pre-registration training in the UK and finally sit for an exam which would qualify you as a pharmacist in the UK. you cant do that for BPharm... MPharm opens up more choices for u in the future

-edit 2 - btw.. if you are thinking of going to IMU to do their MPharm programme, i strongly advise you to stay away from their 3 1/2 years MPharm programme instead go for the 4 years course (not sure if they already have one, go check) because pre-reg training in UK requires you to have a full 4 years course, if you decide to go for it.
