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.
