Why did you do diploma in the first place...

if you really don't have the money but still insists on pursing a degree your best bet is to redo a foundation and do all 4 years of degree again..

ok. thanks for the advice..

I just finished my pharmacy degree in Australia.

Curtin University, Western Australia.

One word: Awesome

Congrats!

So what do you plan to do now.... Remain in Aus or return to Msia?

I am working as a pre reg pharmacist at the moment in Perth. Will plan to go back Malaysia for good in 2-3 years time. Malaysian girls > Aussie girls 9999999X times ( well, thts jz one small part of the reason lah ! ) =P

Welcome back. Hopefully you can spare some time to contribute to this thread.

Oops missed the part that you will only be coming back 3 years later

i am still a student

so if i take stpm i'll have to take bio, chemistry, math, pengajian am and muet? no physics? pharmacy only involves chemistry,math and bio knowldge but no physics right? because i'm very very sucks at physics..

There will be some applications of physics such as thermodynamics and Gibbs free energy but it's not necessary to take it in STPM.

I study in UCSI. The lecturers are strict in marking the paper, they are good and always spend time with the students. I heard there are many JPA students join UCSI pharmacy course annually, maybe this is part of the sign being a good quality course among the private universities in Malaysia.

No harm to check out their facilities during their open day. Good Luck!

hi!!! im new here! i just finish my alevel n hoping that to get a seat in Bpharm of UCSI this year intake!!
im geting straight As in my 3-subject alevel course!
i heard that jpa send scholar to UCSI,so am i still grab a seat in this course?
im so worry right now...
since u study there n maybe my senior, i need some advise from you

If you really want a seat there you'd better apply fast as most of the seats are reserved for their own foundation students and jpa students.

i phoned them last week,the person say just send them the result n apply,if they call u for interview thats mean u got the chance
so i asked him got how many seat did UCSI offer for pharm n can i reserve the seat 1st or whether the seat is full already or not..
he never answer me anythings....
just ask me to send n apply..
so im so worry about this...seems like no early bird kind of things...

Just go an apply lor. You worry about it also no use. In the mean time try to look for second options or other options other than pharmacy

argg..rubbish marketing strategy..

one must understand in private U. they will alwiz say seats are limited and ask you to pay ASAP..

in terms of UCSI, as long as you achieve the minimum pre-entry level, there's no need to worry about it.. After you sent in your application, they will call you for a simple interview and then if you do well, then you will be accepted.

Actually, the same procedure applies to any other private U.You only need to worry if you do not meet the requirements.

To my understanding, some U especially those who havent get the full accreditation, may limit numbers of students per intake. I have little knowledge on that and probably seem like CUCMS did that, not sure.

If you apply before the exact school opening, why in worry? Don't be distracted by some marketing strategy eg pay ASAP to secure place.

What is more important is to choose the right Uni that suits you provided you have the needed requirements. Consider the study environment, the subjects offered, lecturers, passing rate, accomodation, transports etc..

Accreditation is important too.

zstan is right, no harm trying, go go go !

ok ! thanks everyone! i will try my best to get it = D
is there any scholarship offer for doing degree of pharmacy?

@knowledge_seeker


so what exactly uniSA offer you? straight into second year? third year?

and when you claim that your parents are tight on finiancial, how much can they afford to spend on your education without compromising their quality of life? rm200k ? rm 300k?

almost non-existent...but IMU has 1 or 2 on offer for very very very needy students..
