u mean right after graduation? then you will have to undergo one year pupilage and get registered.

all the best to you then you could still change her if u can convince her why food science is the course for you. having said that, do you know the expectations of food science?

she actually wants me to become a doctor or dentist or should i say a 'respected' job, well at least in her mind.. but the universities fees is blardy expensive for those courses and the cheaper and closest course to her demand is to do pharmacy besides the salary is quite good.. for this, i couldn't convince her for me to do food science because a nutritionist earns lesser and it's not a popular job..

maybe this sounds a bit naive but i actually really want to become a nutritionist despite of its low salary.. i don't want to live in luxury.. just want to study and do job that i'm interested in.. but i really have no choice lar..my mom expects more from me and i got to learn to be interested in pharmacy no matter what..

well..during some time during the degree you may find it very hard to continue if its not your interest at all..anyway all the best to you

well, after reading all the pharmacy threads in lyn and doing research about it i think i'm interested in pharmacy now but i realize it's not going to be easy to complete this course

trust me. the pharmacy threads and the lecturers and whatever research you are doing will never tell you the whole story. there's still lots of surprises awaiting.

you're making me scared liao

Which one is the best for BPharm, MSU, AIMST or SEGi? In terms of quality education and reasonable fees?

@Ringo starr

why do you want to take up postgraduate in australia?

if you are interested, most university do offer exemptions towards some of their units for diploma holder like you so you might end up doing only 3 years for their bpharm.

there is no 'best'... all have their pros and cons..Segi being the most expensive if you are referring to the sunderland program..

ok..so how about AIMST?

should be okay i guess. but you have to go through their foundation to secure a space.

Just something to add on.

If you guys intend to follow this route and do it over here in Malaysia:

Diploma in Pharmacy ---> Bachelor in Pharmacy

Do it only if (1) you are pretty sure that you can achieve CGPA of 3.8 above (2) you have a min of 5Bs in SPM. Else, forget about even doing the diploma - unless you're not gonna do your BSc anymore.

Ok, time to close up. Thank you all for the contributions. v2 here. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2526438
