Hai, Im now pursuing Bachelor degree of biomedical science.
Due to lack of information on the courses, i actually filled in the 8 choices of ipta without much consideration.
I actually not really know or understand biomedical science this programme that moment, so i just put ONE as biomed out of the 8 choices.
my 1st choice was pharmacy, i wanna to be a pharmacist.
but unfortunately, i didn get my 1st choice as my pointer in matriculation was only 3.94.
yupe. i understand that pharmacy is a hot course. and with my pointer like that, won't be able to get pharmacy that easily. i expect that. but i just wanna give mysellf a try.

My hometown is only a small town. i've less friend or seniors who are studying in local u. After matriculation, i was really blur and don't know where to get the information on the courses. there is no education fair at my place. noboby can guide me at that moment. If i able to get information, maybe i can choose to study pharmacy course in private Uni such as UCSI which is not tht expensive as IMU instead of go to study a field which i really got no idea.

And now, im in 2nd year of biomed already. But i still dont know where and what is my future.
Can all of u help me out ? i really need suggestion and guidance from all of you especially those biomed grad.
is there another job oppurtunities other than just staying in lab? or become underwritter?

is a possibe a biomed grad can become a pharmacist by the other way? other than RETAKE a new degree of pharmacy?
or enter MBBS? or how?

thanks a lot.

biomed grad can't become a pharmacist. pharmacist needs to be licensed.

anyway, science is a broad field, there are many different career path beside just lab and underwriter.
you can always look into jobstreet or newspaper and see what type of job is available out there.

and don't restrict yourself either, just because you are a science graduate, doesn't means you can't get into job in business field.

if you really wanted to be in science field, there are pharmaceutical sales, medical lab equipment sales, product specialist, quality assurance, research & development n etc.

btw, i'm a biomedical graduate and now i'm in medical software engineering field.

wether to take mbbs or retake pharmacy, that really depends on what you what. have you thought of that? what type of career are you looking for?

May i know that u were biomed science or biomed engineering grad?

i'm a biomed science grad. but since in malaysia, biomed engineer grad is in short supply. so they recruit me and provide training on the engineering field.
