I wanna ask about master in pharmacy. What is the course about, are there and specialties in pharmacy field? I heard that ppl don go for MPharm, they said that BPharm is enough. Isit true? Pls enlighten me =) Thanks

Whoa, thanks for all the reply. ^^

Well, i'm not a undergraduate now though, but just wondering whats the different between the master degree and bachelor, since well, pharmacy is just pharmacy. Are there any specialties or fields to specialize in?

And I'm in aussie now =D Was thinking of what to put as my 2nd -3rd choice when i tot of pharmacy, and all sorts of questions popped out. xD

From what i heard here, ppl don wanna appoint MPharm students cos they have to be paid more? >.<

I'm doing foundations and I never mentioned anything bout UK =)

well, for what i know here in aus, normally they offer the bachelor degree instead of a combined bachelor / masters.

so for what you all know, is it wise to take up MPharm after a BPharm degree here in aus?

i think you'l be paid more, but then again, what do u study in masters? research?

ah thanks youngkies =) just a quick question, are there too much pharmacists around now? or are there too little? cos i know alot of pharmacist friends, or isit just me lucky to know these bunch =D? and if u were to predict the needs for pharmacist in the next 10 years mayb, what will it be? will it be still in demand? or will it perhaps be overpopulated.

whats the difference in working in ur own shop and in hospitals? Do you do the same thing like dispense drugs in hospitals too? or something else? Industrial is something like manufacturing of medicine rite? And I dont get the community part =D But thanks for everyone's info, really really appreciate it.

Thanks youngkies, oh, din know ur a pharmacist but thanks for all the info =D community and hospital pharmacy seems good =) loads of interactions =D

I heard something bout WHO saying the ratio of a pharmacist to something is very low. >< forgot what isit bout but the main point is that there are too little pharmacists in the world.

Whoa, thanks jiaxun. Anyone knows the info bout pharmacy in aus? Cos I'm not interested in other countries, trying to stick to one place =D Dunno bout pharmacy, my friend who's doing MSc (biomed) says that if he does well in his masters, he can convert it into a PhD? no idea how that works.

nah, Ph.D in biomedicine? but just wanna know isit possible to turn a masters degree to a Ph.D
