Well yeah I guess we will never know if we never try. Australia do seem like a good place to study but I'm quite afraid of the racism there. While it a small percentage of racism people, I heard less happening in UK.

pharmacy profession in australia is not as established as in UK. e.g. just look at the professional bodies.

Thanks a lot youngkies.

I send numerous university in UK regarding my result and what health-related course I should be applying. Most just redirect me to Biomedical Science. But QUB says to send addition information so I send PMR,SPM and STPM plus MUET smile.gif Hopefully get someting out of it.

Does Nottingham Malaysia campus will give out certificate that originate from their university in UK? Like the certificate will look like we doing it in UK rather than M'sia.

its the same IIANM. the best is that, it is fully accredited by RPSGB. hence the graduate of notts 2+2 are allowed to do pre-reg in UK after graduation if you can secure a place.

haha.. racism. i have yet to come across any in perth yet.

well, every country have that.

anyway, just try to apply for everything. just in case they decided to offer you, then there is something to consider. if you dont try, they certainly not going to offer you anything.

just try to apply for those in australia. it is not compulsary that you have to accept the offer if you are offered a place.

try everything since there is nothing to lose. some australia Uni doesnt even charge you a single cent to processs your application. just make sure you apply for those that are fully accredited. the list is in the first post.

and then you earn and take their money away after you graduated. with pharmacy, there is no mistake, there is shortage everywhere in the world.

just make sure you really want to do pharmacy and are able to take the huge responsibilities and stresses when you work as a pharmacist.

I think 10k only possible if you work as a lecturer or with a pharmaceutical company. But if you want that type of money straight away, work in UK or US. Save money there and when you come back ka-ching $$$

@Ibrahimovic
i dont think a pharmacist need to work > 48 hours. they normally have fixed hour like 8am to 5pm.

@IceLemonTeaZ
i dont think that is possible. it might take you years to achieve that salary. mb it is possible only if you own a community pharmacy. you will need to at least involve in administration role in industrial sector to get that much money.


Added on March 21, 2009, 9:26 pmif you has started your degree here, it is better that you finish it unless you are still in your first semester.

get a degree and do master oversea.

in UK, dispensing has been taken over by dispenser or pharmacy technician. what the pharmacist does is to clinical check the prescription and final check on what has been dispensed against the prescription, before bagging up and handling items out to patient.

this means, dispenser and technician roles have free up pharmacist, enable them to deliver plenty of other services, e.g. medicine use review, patient consultation, medicine management, smoking cessation service, etc etc, more time to interact with the patient.

and also there are plenty of management and paper works as well. not to mention people keep on coming in asking to see the pharmacist for all sort of advise.

7-10k is pretty norm for pharmacist working in community pharmacy. above 10k is depends on your role and size of the business.

are you doing pharmacy course now or what? where?

@Salamurhaaja

first, i dont understand whether you are asking about the undergraduate or postgraduate programme.

second, i dont know if you are refering to the semenyih campus or the main campus in the uk.

but normally the partial scholarship offered is based on your pre-U result. i am talking about the undergraduate programme and you must maintain above cGPA above 3.5 (not sure) throughout the semester.

those information are given in the website or the form to apply for it because i knew i had seen it last time.

Oh man.... to MUFY students out there reading this...... If you still intend to pursue Pharmacy, the entry score to Monash has already increased.
From 320/400 to 340/400 . 85% average. Haha bad news for me


EDIT: If i can't get into Monash for Pharmacy, and i wan to apply for pharmacy in Nottingham, will it be accepted ? It says quote
" Other Qualifications such as UEC, South Australian Matriculation, Canadian Pre-U (OAC) or other equivalent qualifications will be considered on a case-by-case basis " . But it didn't state the subjects.
Most of the entry requirements require Biology. So im afraid i can't enter since im only taking chemistry. cry.gif

just apply for it. you will never know.

though sometime requirement is important, but it depends on places availability too.

biology is an advantage but usually not compulsory.
